E-I-E-I-O

A book that plays music – does it really get any better than this?002

Bingo!  No wait – that’s an entirely different song.008

Cale loves the book.  He pushes the buttons and dances to the music (or as Claire says “moose-kick”).

Because Every Boy Needs Toys

He needs something to hold them and carry them around in – like a tool box!002

Cups

Sometimes one just needs a practical gift.  Today was such a day.  Practical – yet fun – sippy cups.015

Here’s a car for the bath!  Today Cale received a Lightning McQueen (from the movie Cars) bath scrubbie.007

Let’s Go Schimming!

Yesterday Cale received a new swimsuit and swim shirt.  We hoped to make it to the pool yesterday, but we are now planning on going tomorrow.  I’ll have to post pictures tomorrow or Monday.002

You will notice, however, his adorable Puppy Love jammies in these pictures.005

“Puppy On A Stick”

My kids love PEZ dispensers.  They don’t have to have candy in them.  They are toys all by themselves.

Today Cale got a Disney’s 101 Dalmations PEZ dispenser (sans candy).  Claire calls it Cale’s puppy on a stick.

Immediately places it in his mouth012

He is one happy boy today and is refusing to share his new puppy on a stick.  He loves it!009

In other news, Cale started walking today.  Before today, he would take up to three steps at a time and then sit.  Then this morning, while Claire and I were deep into some conservation that was apparently quite uninteresting to him, Cale just stood up and walked off down the hall.  He acted very nonchalant about it all – as if he always exits a room in this manner. Claire, of course, took interest in his walking when I did; however, instead of just grabbing a camera to capture the moment, she rushed up to him squealing and clapping and enjoying the moment.  Afraid of being run over, he sat.  Every time he stands now, she rushes over to get him to walk.  He doesn’t want to.  So I have failed to get this amazing milestone on “film” just yet.  Hopefully I’ll have a video to post over the weekend.
