Caleb's so Smart ;)

Caleb and I were reading yesterday right before bed and he surprised me! He was able to tell me what all the things in the pictures were doing and was able to name a whole bunch of stuff that I wasn't aware that he knew! Jay and I just sat there with our mouths open...it's such a great feeling when your kids exceed your expectations! I know that it may not seem impressive to you, but it was the level of detail that shocked us. Either we're doing something we weren't aware we were doing or watching all that 'Noggin' tv has really expanded is repertoire.

We went out for Kristen's birthday yesterday to Bisque Art paint-your-own-pots pottery studio. He was soooo good (and all without a nap) he played by himself for almost 3 hours without throwing a fuss! I'll post the pics as soon as Aylin sends them to me.

Jay & I are really excited for our upcoming Virginia Beach holiday this weekend. It'll be our first (mini) vacation since Caleb and thanks to PwC's hotel points, we will be staying at the Sheraton right on the beach!

Random Family Pics

This was just me and Caleb goofing around in the garden after I got off work and picked him up from daycare.

The picture below was taken right before we went out to dinner (for our 5 year anniversary) and left Caleb with Kristen to babysit for us.

Caleb the Ham

Caleb has become quite the ham now when the camera comes out.

This age is SOOO much fun for me. Everyday he surprises me with new words and I'm always astonished and how much he picks up. Parenting just gets more and more fun as he grows up....maybe I'll read this later when I'm pulling my hair out and remind myself how sweet he is. :)

Playing with Daddy

Caleb and Daddy were in the yard playing (see Michelle? The bike!) and I thought it was so cute...

Caleb's favorite thing lately is "Blues Clues!"....I went on ebay to get him some VHS tapes and some board books. It's so cute when their personalities come out and they start deciding for themselves what they like and don't like.

Like: Blues Clues, Rice, Elmo & Ernie

Dislike: Mommy giving kisses when she has a facemask on....he starts backing away and says "no!....No kisses!"
