I.Hate.Shots

Caleb had his 15 Month Appointment today. He is in the 95th Percentile for height and 80th for weight! Big Boy! He had to get two shots today. I hate shots. They are one of the worst things in the world and I hate them so much. Needles are no fun. So it breaks my heart whenever Caleb gets them and I have to hold him while he screams. Ugggh.. I hate it so much!

15 Months

My lil baby is 15 Months today. He is such a lil joy and truly is so much fun to be around. His little personality has definitely come out! He loves being outside, reading books, music, eating, playing with water, playing with trucks and cars and being with his Mommy & Daddy. He loves to sing and lately has been trying to see how loud his voice can get. He is very independent and struggles when Mommy & Daddy try to tell him 'what's up'. I love watching him grow and love watching as he discovers the world in which he lives in. He seems to do something new and hilarious everyday. I just love being his Mommy and feel so blessed and thankful to have him as my son.

This is what the lil guy looked like a year ago...

He used to fall asleep on me, this doesn't happen anymore :-(

This was the extent of his play time

Here he is a year later...

He loves playing in his car

Loves playing with his water table....

Pushing things is a high priority in his life right now

He has been learning how to eat with a spoon

This was the outcome.. YIKES!

Caleb loves to play in the sprinkler

Swinging is another favorite

I love this boy! What a fun kid!

Father's Day Weekend

Giving Daddy his card

I am so thankful for my husband and the amazing man that he is. I am also so very thankful for the wonderful father he is to Caleb. He is so loving, so supportive, helpful and such a great leader. It has been so fun watching Caleb and Dylan's relationship unfold and how much Caleb already looks up to his Daddy.

We also got to see my Dad, which was great. I love my dad and couldn't be more proud to be his daughter. I wish every daughter could have a dad as loving as him. No matter how old I get I will always be his lil Princess.

Caleb loves his Poppy!

The day before Father's Day was my good friend Kelly's wedding. Kelly and I went to college together and then lived together for a year in Indianapolis. It was such a blessing to be apart of her special day. I am so thankful for her new husband Eric! What a great couple!

Friends.....

Fun Times At The Lake....

Last weekend we had the wonderful opportunity of spending the weekend with our dear friends, the Stephenson's. They invited us to go up to their lake house in Northern Indiana and we had a wonderful time playing in the sprinkler, taking boat rides, swimming, eating great food and sharing in terrific conversation. It was a fabulous time and we loved being able to spend such quality time with such amazing friends.

Maryn is ready for the boat ride

So cute...

Caleb loves it...

Swimming in the lake! Caleb loves the water!

Helping Jeremy drive the boat

I love this picture. They look like an old married couple...

Maryn is one of the cutest girls ever. She is so beautiful. I just love taking pictures of her, especially since she is so photogenic!

Here is another cutie! He loved wearing his hat which made me happy since he is still bald and has such fair skin!

Having fun with Daddy!

Some more sprinkler fun

Such a great weekend. Such great friends!

PopPop & MomMom

Last week Dylan's mom (Cindy) and his stepdad (Mike) came to visit us up in Michigan. We always love when they come for a visit and Caleb enjoys all of the attention. He LOVED playing with his Pop Pop and Mom Mom all weekend. They are such wonderful, loving people and always come ready to help in anyway, whether it is watching Caleb so that Dylan and I can go out on a date or helping with any household projects we have. They are such giving people and we loved having them in our home. It is always good to spend time with them.

We went to a really nice park and took a long walk

Caleb got tired of his stroller and decided to push it instead. He has been obsessed with pushing things lately, especially his stroller.

We found some swings to swing on!

We read books... lots of books!

Played with Pop Pop.. Caleb started saying, Pop Pop which was so cute!

Life with a Fourteen Month Old

He gets into the toilet paper

He sleeps in weird positions

He has a special relationship with his ceiling fan and light. Since we brought him home from the hospital as a newborn he has had a fascination and love for lights. Now that he can actually say the word 'light' he talks to them like they are his friends. Kinda weird but really sweet.

He makes funny faces.

He gets in the fridge and and gets out the strawberries and demolishes them!

He LOVES all kinds of melon!

He has also been enjoying popsicles!
