Puppy Love

Baby, it’s cold outside!  We love this cooler weather!  Now we need to wear snuggle jammies!

(Don’t these look huge?  I can’t believe my baby is wearing size 18 month clothing already!)009

He didn’t seem overly excited about getting jammies today.012

Until he noticed that I left the tags on them – just for him!013

And somehow I missed getting a picture of him with the tags in his mouth.  I had to pry them away from him to get him to eat breakfast.  Silly boy!

To Infinity and Beyond!

Apparently I failed to blog yesterday and just now realized it.  Here are yesterday’s pics.

Cale is feeding himself most of what he eats these days.  In fact, he gets a little upset at times when we try to spoon-feed him something.  He’s becoming a very independent little man.  To aid in this new self-feeding venture, he received a Toy Story plate.009

I need to wash it, so I don’t have any pictures of his eating out of it yet.  They will be posted soon.

Do you see what my boy “doodled”?022

It’s the number 5.  Yes, he did this all by himself.  I am quite amazed at my boy’s skills!024

Chugga-Chugga-Choo-Choo

All aboard!  As of this morning, Cale is the conductor of The Sugar Cakes Express.  His gift of the day is a battery-operated engine for his wooden train set.002

Good morning, Sunshine!009

Rub-A-Dub-Dub

Today Cale received a bath book.  He loves playing in the bathtub.  Unfortunately, up until today, his bath toys consisted of a tea set, a bath time baby doll, a Barbie and a few other pink toys.  We are working to remedy this so that he can take more manly baths.004

Cale is one smart cookie.  He’s already figured out that there are toys in this bag just for him.  This morning, he couldn’t get down out of my arms fast enough.  He grabbed the bag off of the table and tackled it.007

Wahoo! It’s Cale’s Birthday Month!

How exciting!  It’s been an amazing year!  Cale is the most incredible gift to our family!  We simply adore this little mister!

As we do with Claire, Cale will receive a gift a day every day of his birthday month.  His first present is a fire truck.021

022

I set up everything last night after the kids went to bed.025

When Cale got up this morning, he noticed the bag sitting on the table and wasted no time opening it.  (He’s very curious.)001

Cale’s not a big fan of the camera flash, especially first thing in the morning, so we may never get a picture of him looking at us this early.  (I did try.)  Oh well.  It’s still cute to watch him play.

For breakfast, I made him pancakes.  (His favorite breakfast food.)  He ate three.  For lunch I fed him pizza.  He ate four slices – they weren’t huge, but he ate four nonetheless.  We’re going to have burritos for dinner – another of Cale’s favorite foods.  This month is getting off to a great start!

Until tomorrow…  Happy Birthday Month, Birthday Boy!
