For many many many years....the Paolone sisters were expected to provide entertainment for our family. However, recently we have handed the baton off to our other 12+ cousins. This year the cousins did a play with music and poems. Caleb was baby Jesus and did a wonderful job [although he was a bit unsure of his costume].

Caleb is quite the traveler. After a week spent in Ohio, we are now on our way to Florida to celebrate the New Years with Travis' family.
Caleb is very close to sitting up all by himself. He can sit alone with his boppy! He continues to reach for things and is getting more active by the minute.
