10 Months and WALKING!!!!

The time is finally here!!! Kaleb started walking last night! He has been taking a couple steps here and there for the past month but nothing like what we witnessed last night!!! He will now free stand and just start going! He is 10 months (almost 11) and getting so big!!! I say that every post... but it's true!
Here's a video to prove it! It's kind of dark but you'll get the picture! ;-)

9 MONTHS

Kaleb is now 9 months old and then some! He is a whopping 17 lbs. and 29 inches long. Definately a different build than his bro. Drew was such a roly poly little guy! Kaleb is into whatever his brother is doing. His most favorite thing to do is get into mischief: unrolling toilet paper and emptying out the garbage can in the bathroom, trying to get into the cupboards in the kitchen, and climping up the basement stairs. WE have to keep a close eye on this little bugger at ALL TIMES!!! We have our hands full but LOVE and ADORE our little busy body! The teeth marathon has seem to come to a halt for now... thank you, Lord!
Here are some updated pics from our last month! Kaleb is such a charming little dude!!!

Loves trains!!!

Mommy and Kaleb!

Under the table... won't be too much longer and he will be hitting his head!

Having fun outside in the walker!

Our little escape artist! HAHA!

8 MONTHS... and ON THE GO!!!

Kaleb went from sitting to crawling... now bear-crawling and walking along whatever he can within a month. He is growing like crazy!!! He has his 9 month check up next month so I will know his specifics then! I just know he is a growing baby!!
Kaleb has 8 TEETH and at 8 months old?!?... whoever heard of such a crazy thing?!!!! He loves cubed sweet potatoes, peas, pears, and peaches and puff snacks. If he can only figure out how to get his food to his mouth before dropping each piece... he's getting better! HA! He loves anything that has wheels... especially electronic! He tries to crawl as fast as he can to keep up with Drew's tow truck and trains! He also passes the time by batting balls across the floor. Loves to makes sounds like "da da da" and "ba ba ba" and of course the most famous spitting sounds. He is so much fun and I just love it when Drew says... "Mom, I love having Kaleb!" SO STINKIN' SWEET!!!


As you can see... Kaleb is a busy little bee!

Drew loves his bro!

Fun evening at the park! ~I love these boys!!~

6th and 7th Month!

Ok seriously... Kaleb is 7 months old now!!! Guess I better throw in 6 months while we are at it! We are enjoying our little man tremendously! He is growing up so fast and mastering milestone after milestone. His new thing is giving open mouth kisses and scooting (as fast as he can... HA!) after his big brother! (Who is soooo cool!) I have a feeling when Kaleb becomes a professional crawler ;) he will never lose sight of his big bro. Drew loves him so much! He feeds him, gives him belly busters, rolls around the floor with him, and best of all teaches him every 4 year old's dirty tricks! HAHA! They are BEST BUDS!!!!

5 Months Old!

My baby is getting sooooo big... he has been eating like a champ and drinking from a sippy cup! We might just by pass the bottle all together. We have been enjoying the beautiful sunshine and spending every moment we can outside!!!

4 Months and a little bit more! ;)

Before I get futher behind, I just realized I forgot to post that Kaleb is 4 1/2 months old, ALREADY!!! He is 13.5 lbs and 25.8 inches long! He is now rolling over, eating rice cereal for dinner, full-out belly laughs at his silly brother, HAS 2 TEETH, and enjoys playing on the floor, hanging out in his jumperoo, and grabbing at EVERYTHING his hands will reach. Hank and I find ourselves moving our dinner plates back if he's sitting on our laps at dinner. He is such a joy and if FULL of life. I am soooo blessed to be able to stay home and enjoy every second with my boys.

Speaking of... I just realized that I am always spilling the beans about Kaleb that I hardly ever mention, my BIG 4 year old, Drewman! I just love him to death! He is soooo funny, full of imagination, such a wonderful helper inside and out, loves to read books, do "homework" (activity books), and is going to start preschool in September. That will definatley be a bittersweet time for me! But I am not going to think about it until the time comes.

Self portrait! LOL!!!

Until then... we are going to enjoy our summer to the fullest! We have many camping trips planned (have already been to Blue Lake), and hang out in our pool here at home.

Easter and Family Pics

Easter seems to be the time of year where annual family pictures are taken. We were in need of an updated picture of our new little complete family! So Easter morning after getting all dressed up... my dad was cutting the ham and my mom was cooking sweet potatoes... and I wanted to get our picture taken. So needless to say... we didn't have a free hand to take the snapshots. Well luckily my dad had a tripod. So with a camera timer, the magic of a happy awake baby, a boy full of smiles, and an obedient dog... we captured some pretty good shots!!!


We spent Easter at my Grandpa and Grandma's house in Chewelah. The weather was so beautiful... perfect for a scavenger and egg hunt. What a blessed day!!!!
