Nine Months Old

(And 2 weeks late!) Mama has been a little slow on blogging lately! But here are Caleb's nine month pictures:



Caleb's nine month checkup was great! He is:
Weight: 21lbs, 6oz (60%)
Height: 28 inches (40%)
Head: 47cm (90%)

This month:

• Caleb mastered cruising! He moves around tables, chairs etc with the greatest of ease! =)
• We've started lots of table foods. Caleb enjoys: grilled cheese, peaches, graham crackers, raisins, cheerios, quesadillas, pancakes etc. He does not like pasta, "grown-up" veggies or bananas. He still enjoys his baby food too!
• Caleb cut 2 more teeth (both on the bottom) for a total of 5 teeth!
• We enjoyed 2 trips to the park, he's a huge fan of the swings!
• Caleb went on his first Black Friday shopping trip! Aunt Beth & I took him out on the town for the entire evening. We hit Toys R Us, Old Navy, Target, Sears, Bath & Body Works, Dicks and ChickFilA. =) Caleb was a trooper!
  

Here are some misc. pictures from the month of November:

Visiting Grandma & Grandpa's Farm

Glen, Caleb and I enjoyed another trip to Grandma's house this month. Caleb had a great time! He played with his cousins, watched the animals, hung out in the pick-up truck and checked out Grandpa's tree stand. Here are some pictures...

Insomnia

When I can't sleep, I like to get out of bed and find something to do. Usually I play online, watch TV or read a book; but tonight I decided to work on Caleb's baby book. I am so behind and I want to write down all these precious memories before they fade away. In 20 or 30 years, will I remember when his first tooth came in? Will I remember to tell his future wife how his face lights up every time he sees his Daddy? I want to be able to embarrass him by telling his kids how he takes his evening poop at the dinner table. =) Yes, he really does that! So even though Caleb will probably be up and raring to go in 3 or 4 hours, here I am. Looking through pictures, videos and blog posts; I am amazed at how much my baby has grown.

Tomorrow I plan on packing away one of his stationary entertainers. Caleb does not enjoy being stuck in one place anymore, he loves to move and explore. Here is a picture of his first, and then his last time in the Hop N Pop.
