Caleb the Climber is Almost 19 Months Old!

Where did my baby go? I suddenly find myself looking at this BIG boy! It still seems that he is changing more every day. He is still into everything as you will see in all the pictures below. He is finally trying to talk. He can probably say about 20 words but he doesn't say them often. His favorites are Mama, Dada, Bubba, shoe...and BLAH! Yes, he is totally obsessed with the dragon from Baby Einstein. Technically his name is Bard but Caleb calls him Blah. He says it all day long and points to the TV. Unfortunantly the video part on my digital camera is broken but when I get a new one I need to record him saying Blah. It's so cute! I even got him a stuffed Blah off of ebay. What a good mommy I am!

He still loves his pacifier and I've decided to stop stressing about when to take it away. My master plan is for it to be gone by the time he is two. He really doesn't use it that much anymore unless he is sleepy. Right this minute he is actually going cold turkey because Mondo couldn't find one to put in his bed. Most of them are lost. Could be a long night.....

He amazes me with what he will eat. He will try anything and like most of it. The other day he tried a salmon patty with onions and peppers at my mom's and he loved it! I'm enjoying it while it lasts. We all know how Ethan is with his picky eating!

He is such a Momma's boy!! He wants to be with me every second of the day and screams when he doesn't get to. If I go into the kitchen to get something he screams at the baby gate until I pick him up. One of my favorite funny things he does it when Mondo hugs me and Caleb sees us. He comes running up and tries to squeeze between us and screams for me and tries to push Mondo out of the way. He thinks I'm ALL HIS!

He pulled out the drawers to climb up on the countertop. They now have locks on so he can't do that! Please excuse the mess in this picture and all other bathroom pictures. It is in constant disarray because of this little guy! He pulls everything out of the drawers and cabinets and throws it on the floor and countertop.

Ta-da!

Here is something else he likes to do in my bathroom. He gets all my headbands and wraps them around his neck. It's so funny to watch him put them on one at a time. But then he gets frustrated when he tries to take them off and they scratch his neck!

This is at my parent's house. He scaled the chair to get on the horse. He can now get on the horse just by climbing up be he can't get down on his own.

I love this picture. He looks so mischievious. Check out his "neckbands".

Roar!

Does that face look like he's supposed to be up there? I think not. He scaled the side of the toy box to get up there. (Side note: Notice he's wearing the same onesie in almost every pic...that's because he did all of this in the same day! See why I'm tired all the time?!)

This is in Ethan's room. He climbs the Elmo tool bench and turns the light on and off. The box on the wall next to the light is the heater. He turns that on sometimes and I don't know it until I go in there later an it's a sauna!

Trying to escape out the back door of the playroom. He pushes this firetruck up to lots of stuff he's not supposed to get into!

He climbs on top of this table and then crawls into the hole in the middle. I'll so in there and just see his head sticking out!
