Travis was out of town this weekend on a Bridges fieldtrip so last minute, I decided to travel home to Cleveland to spend some time with the Ohio family! I ended up staying an entire week and had a wonderful time! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family!

Highlights of the Week:

Spending time with Auntie Laurie and Lia everyday!

Watching grandma and grandpa interact with Caleb

Home cookin'

Long walks

Shopping

Aladdin's

Church Picnic

The Office marathons!!

Caleb is officially weaned off his three daytime bottles and has been eating more table foods. He loves pancakes, blueberries, and chicken. He had several wipeouts in Ohio due to his increased speed as he is learning how to run and climb! He did a good job on the car ride to Cleveland [5+ hours] considering his love for movement. He is talking more and his vocabulary has increased to:
Mama

Dada

What

Yeah

Hi

Ohhhh

Ahhh

I love you mama and I think y0u are the best.....at least that's what he means :)

Love you!

Swimming

Precious Caleb enjoying the weather!
"Cool Shark"
We recently started enforcing some discipline with our little one year old. We are currently working on obedience. I told Caleb he must stay in the pool. So instead of going back into the pool he decided to stay in this position as if he were saying, "I'll do as I'll please." :)
Happy Baby
Playing with the orange string ball!! He loved it!

We were cleaning out some of Caleb's old toys and found his old chair. Here is some footage of that event...

Buttons!

Caleb loves buttons!! He recently learned how to turn the vacuum on and off which has increased my vacuuming time immensely!! In this clip Caleb turns the vacuum on and it startles him a bit but he didn't want to turn it off!! So silly!!

A trip to the Park

I took Caleb to the park to play yesterday -he so enjoys being around other children! He decided to follow a two year old into the sandbox where his new friend proceeded to dump a bucket of sand on Caleb!!! Caleb loved the attention and then returned the favor by throwing a handful of sand back at the boy!! It got pretty messy and he was quickly removed from the sandbox!! Here's Caleb on the swings!

Colorado cont.

Caleb having to get up early for our plane ride.....love that bed head!
On the plane ride...THANK YOU JESUS he was wonderful!!! Thank goodness for all the help we received!
Caleb was sooo tired but refused to sleep because he'd rather see what was going on around him!!!

Colorado was amazing...thank you Aunt BZ for a wonderful trip and all the planning and work that you put into it- you are the best!

He officially has six teeth now and is enjoying more solid foods such as carrots, cucumbers, and meat!! He goes on Wed to get some shots so please pray!!

We Love You!!
