My Tiny Baby is Two!!

I can't believe my tiny baby is turing 2!!! Seriously, the last two years have gone by so fast that it's hard to remember what he was like as a baby. Sounds strange, but true. Just this last month he seems to have lost the babyness and moved straight on to being a big boy. He is talking so much and saying new things every day that I can't keep up. His newest saying "What the heck?" Thanks for that one Ethan. He has some favorite TV shows: Goggles (Wiggles), Coos Coos (Blue's Clues), Tyloo (Cailou). The Wiggles are by far his favorite. I have a video at the bottom of this post of him singing part of the theme song. I think he has seen them all and can sing all the songs. Too bad it's not really popular anymore. It's so hard to find Wiggles stuff!

The biggest news...he is finally sleeping through the night!!! He started sleeping better about a month or two ago. We didn't really change anything, he just started doing it. First he'd sleep till 0600 and then he'd get up for the day. Then he'd make it to 0630 and so. Now he averages getting up around 0700. Still a bit early for Mommy but at least I don't have to get up 3-4 times a night! He has also stopped crying when he wakes up...most of the time. Now he wakes up saying, "Ma---ma!" So cute.

He wanted to wear Ethan's Spiderman costume from last Halloween. He fit into it pretty well!

He used to be my good eater...not so much anymore. You never know what he's going to eat day to day. He used to love hot dogs, now he won't eat them. He used to love oranges, now he won't eat them. He still has his staples that he will probably never give up like beefaroni (yuck!) and chicken nuggets. He still gets excited when my mom sings the beefaroni theme song "Hooray for beefaroni!" It's pretty cute. He has also decided that he is too big for his high chair. He now sits at the table with us on his booster seat. It presents new challenges because he is not used to eating off of a plate. He starts out fine but before I know it he's saying "here mama" and handing me his empty plate because he emptied it on the table.





There's the nasty beefaroni...and Monkey (or Buntey as he calls him). He only had him for a little while at lunch on this day. I had to take him away before he was covered in the orange nastiness!

I thought this picture was so cute. We went to Christina's (a mexican restaurant in Southlake) one day for lunch. He enjoyed some mac & cheese and a few bites of taco.

He still has the "cheese" face. He is holding a Woody doll. That is his new obsession. He loves "howdy howdy" and Buzz.

I wish he could wear these pj's forever! They are SO CUTE!

He was being silly one day and pulled his shirt over his head and ran around the house like that.

Practicing his medical skills, cookie monster style.

Um, ya. The painting didn't go as planned. There was supposed to be paper involved.

He is still getting into everything. I really can't leave him alone for a second. It seems like there are so many things that he does and I find myself saying "Ethan never did that." I think maybe Ethan didn't do some of these things because I was always with him because he was the only child I had. Now I feel so preoccupied with keeping the house clean and getting the kids ready to run errands that sometimes Caleb is left to entertain himself...which equals getting into mischief! Here are some pics to prove it.

If the laundry room door is open, he will run in to the bathroom and use the trashcan as a step
and climb on the counter and yell, "Mama, come 'ere!"

Here's what happens when I'm in my bathroom putting on my make up and thinking to myself, "Hmmm, I wonder what Caleb is doing. I haven't seen him in the last few minutes."

He has re-arranged my flowers so much that I've given up on them trying to look "arranged". He also stands on the table and twirls the light fixture. Geez...

(You can tell by this paci that this pic is a few months old because he hasn't had one in a long time!) This is what he does when I cook. I have since put a child lock on that drawer.

Yep, another few moments alone and I come in to this. He was having his own little party.

This video is a couple months old but I thought it was cute.

This isn't the greatest version of him doing it, but here he is singing the Wiggles theme song.

Just a little clip of him playing in the playroom.
