Cabush Look-alike Meter

I found this on my friend Carrie's blog. I am not surprised that it shows Caleb looking like Jim more. I thought it would have been higher!

Play Date

Last Thursday Caleb and I went to Cleveland to visit Jenny one of my long time friends. The last time we visited was when Caleb was 4 months and her son Anderson was 6 months. So, this was the first time that the boys played together. They were so cute together and they often wanted the same toy to push around. Jenny made a wonderful lunch for us with grilled cheese on homemade bread for the kids and homemade potato soup for us. We hope to get to visit again soon. Jenny is homeschooling her 2 girls so she stays very busy and it's a treat to get to visit with them!
Here are a few pictures of the boys playing....

Using a Fork/Animal sounds

Today as we were eating lunch Caleb kept reaching for the fork on the table. I have let him hold the fork before with caution as he can easily poke himself. Today he acted like he wanted to eat with it instead of just playing with it. So I showed him how to stab the food and he did the rest. I had to help him get the food on the fork then he would eat it. He eventually started trying to stab the food himself but I still had to help him to get it. Now I have to go buy some kid forks since all we have are spoons!

He has started making some animal noises that he has learned. He will make the noise for elephant and lift his arm(like the trunk of the elephant does). He will go "mmm" for the cow saying Moo. He is trying to say Kitty for our cat who is named Kitty. He won't say Meow but will just say something like "kikikiki". He will roar like a lion and tiger. It's just all so cute and new to me. I love how he is able to learn things and do them now. He still hasn't said any clear words but I know it won't be long till he is talking! He already jabbers all the time....going to take after his Daddy I believe. :)

Here are some pics of him eating...

He decided to play peekaboo with his bib after he ate

Temper Tantrums?

Today Caleb woke up from his nap and as usual I go in to where he is sitting in his crib crying waiting for me. I go to pick him up and he lays down and cries and acts like he doesn't want me touching him. I finally got him to stand up but then he goes to put his nose in the corner of the crib with his back to me. I let him cry for a few minutes and left the room. He would calm down a bit then as I would come back to the door he starts again. Anyway, I finally got him out of the crib and tried to give him a cracker and milk but he didn't want that. He laid on the floor in the living room crying. He would let me hold him some of the time but then he would fight to get back down on the floor. I was worried something was physically wrong with him like a tummy ache or something. Finally after about 40 minutes of this he was fine! He started playing like nothing was wrong.

I decided since it was a warmer day outside to go out and let him walk around in the yard. He loved doing that but as soon as I tried to steer him away from the road he fought me and whined. When I decided it was time to go inside he had another melt down. This was obviously a tantrum this time! He went to all corners of his room and would look at me as I walked by his door. I don't know how long this one lasted but he eventually calmed down and played again.
Whew, I guess he is at the age now where these tantrums start. My sweet little baby!!!
