Happy Birthday, Caleb!

Our little guy is a one year old today...  He is such a fun little guy. 

He has a full head of hair and it is starting to curl at the ends.  I probably need to cut it soon, but I'm scared to cut off his curls (they're just too cute).  His eyes are still light blue (by this time, I think Julia's were more of a gray and they gradually changed to green, then greenish-brown now).

His favorite things right now are: eating (boy, can he can eat a lot!), drinking milk, playing with balls, stacking blocks, playing in the sandbox outside, and climbing anything he can (including the stairs which he is not allowed to...).  He is standing up quite a bit but not walking yet.  He can say, "Ma-ma" and "Da-da" really clearly. He tries saying milk by saying, "Muh, muh." 

Here are some pictures of Caleb over the past 6 months.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CALEB!  We love you so much.



4th of July

Yesterday we celebrated the 4th of July with some friends from our Bible Study.  Vilo and Dawn invited us and another couple to their house.  Vilo and Dawn have 4 girls so Julia had a blast.  :)  First, we went to their community swimming pool.  Then we went back to their house for a BBQ.  After that, we walked to a local park to see the fireworks at the mall.  It was a LATE night for our kiddos, but they had fun and so did we.  :)

Our family...  This year I bought matching shirts at Old Navy.  I couldn't resist.  :)

 

When Dawn was handing out ice cream sandwiches, Caleb reached out and grabbed one and tried so hard to eat it.  But, he doesn't quite know how to bit into things, yet.

 

But then he figured out how to get the ice cream out with his fingers.  He loved it.

 

Julia didn't like how loud the fireworks were.  :)  She covered her ears the whole time...  She kept saying, "Can we go home, now?"  Poor girl.  But at one point she did say, "The fireworks are so pretty."  It's funny that she was actually smiling for this picture!  She was a trooper, despite the fact that she didn't really want to see the fireworks.

 

Caleb would cry everytime a loud firework boomed.  so, I picked him up and he immediately fell asleep on my shoulder.  It was so precious!

Announcing...

Yup! Baby #3 is on the way... :) My due date is January 8.



Caleb is going to be a big brother! He'll be 18 months holder. Julia is 20 months older than Caleb.

This picture was taken on Mother's Day. This was the day I found out I was expecting baby #3! What a wonderful Mother's Day gift!

Almost 14 weeks pregnant and starting to show.
