13 months old!

The reason I did not blog sooner is because we have been in major organizing/purging mode this week. We cleaned out our garage...well Nathan did 99% of the work and I just cleaned out some boxes.  I have been getting the new baby's room ready. Hopefully in the next week or two we will be done.
Our little firecracker turned 13 months old this week. The best word to describe Caleb this month is FUN! He loves to play, especially with toys he can push like trucks, cars, walkers, and wagons. His favorite place to be is outside, he enjoys crawling most and he also likes to walk holding onto our hands. This month Caleb transitioned to a sippy cup, and he loves, loves, loves milk.
Caleb babbles up a storm, points and asks about many things, and he understands a lot more than he can express. The latest words he understands and mimics are Elmo, turtle, monkey, lion, giraffe, milk, diaper, shoes, feet, and head. He likes to flip through books on his own and babble at the pages. At night he talks to himself or his toys for a good half hour before falling asleep. These are the nights it would be fun to have a video monitor! Daddy taught him how to stick out his tongue and it cracks us all up. Anytime we laugh at him, he laughs right back. He is also learning how to throw things. Everything from toys off of our balcony, down the stairs, food off of his high chair, toys and blanket out of his crib, toys out of the bathtub. We are all learning as we go:).

Nathan took Caleb to Lowes this weekend to get some toilet latches and shelves for the new baby's room. Nathan turned around for a few seconds and Caleb took off with the cart, hahaha! Enjoy the video.


Here are his latest stats:
Clothes: 12 - 18 months
Diapers: Size 4
Eating: lots of milk, getting picky about chicken nuggets and fish sticks, fruit of all kinds, mac-n-cheese, pizza, turkey and cheese sandwiches, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, pureed veggies (he is learning what they are in true form), crackers, puffs, cheese, meat raviolis
Sleep: about 7:30pm - 6am
Naps: one a day at daycare, and 2 a day on the weekends

Happy 13 month birthday Wildman! We love you!!
