My Little Caleb-Poo

I haven't done a post about Caleb in a while. He is 14 months old now. I can't believe how fast he is growing!!! He is still so busy and such a little love bug. We weaned him off of his bottle a few weeks ago. By weaned, I mean cold turkey! He wasn't too happy about it for the first few days but he's over it now. I think he falls in love with his paci more and more each day...we'll save that battle for later.


He still doesn't sleep through the night. He wakes up 1 or 2 times. I've realized that if I take him straight to my bed he'll fall right back to sleep...bad habit, I know!! I'm pretty sure that's why he wakes up in the night now. He's looking for me and my bed. We'll work on breaking that habit after we get back from our ski trip. We'll all be sleeping in one bed during that time so it would be silly to break the habit before we go.


He is a great eater. He wants a bite of whatever we're eating. If I take something to the couch to snack on he'll run over, take his paci out of his mouth, and whine until I give him a bite. Works every time. He'll eat pretty much anything we give him. Now if only we could get Ethan to do that....(Look at his feet in this pic. He keeps his feet pushed against the tray almost the whole time he eats.)


Caleb is still into everything!!! Just today I left him in his room to take a diaper outside. I came back in to hear him screaming. I ran to his room and found him beside his dresser with his lamp and piggy bank on the floor next to him. His dresser is about 5 feet tall. He unplugged the lamp (I didn't realize he could reach the plug), then pulled on the cord which pulled the lamp off of the dresser taking the full piggy bank with it. I'm not sure if anything actually hit him or if he just got scared. If he's in the bathroom, he goes straight for the toilet. If he's in the kitchen, he goes straight for the trash or dog food. If he's in the living room, he goes straight for the remotes or DVD/VCR/TV. He's so busy!!!

And boy does he love his mommy! This is the position you will find him in if I put him down in a strange place. This picture was taken at church. He was clinging to me for dear life!

Here's a good picture of his toofers. Those things are trauma!!! You can see the molars in the back. I think they're all finally through. Now it's on to the canines. They are trying to cut now. Geeze teeth, give the poor kid (and his parents) a break!!!

He loves to be outside. He can be so cranky inside but the second he goes outside he's fine. Thank goodness for the good weather lately! Here he is helping out Daddy with the lawn. He pushes this lawnmower around all over the yard. Ethan got it for his second birthday.

He is into singing now. Ok, it's more like humming since he doesn't talk. This video is quite entertaining since he's covered with pasta. I was singing Twinkle Twinkle while cleaning him up and he was "singing" along and doing the hand motions. Please excuse my silly singing. :-)

He recently taught himself how to use a bazooka. It's so cute! He walks around the house with it hanging out of his mouth just humming away.

I think he's going to be a little soccer player. He will kick the ball all over the backyard. Pretty coordinated for such a little critter.
