8 months and counting

8 months have flown by and he is growing big. He has learned to how to pull himself up, cruise from chair to couch to coffee table and fall back down again. More often then not I find him standing in his crib and he never leaves without Eeyore. There are now a total of 4 teeth and no food goes uneaten. Sleep seemed to be becoming easy with some nights not waking at all until the past few days. Hopefully this is just a phase. 

Even though the weather is turning hot we are still spending lots of time in the woods, we just try to look for shadier trails. Caleb has even learned how to sleep in the backpack. We head to the park on many afternoons for the swings and to stroll around the river. 

 We went to our first baseball game of the season with Great Grandma, Great Aunt Nancy, and Grandpa. Coach Henrick (first base coach for Tampa Bay Rays) even gave Caleb a game ball. We had front row seats for all the action. It was hot, but Caleb was a perfect kid eventually falling asleep in my lap. 

 

This was Caleb's first trip to the beach.  The sand was yummy and the birds brought endless free entertainment. He was pretty nervous of the cold water and waves but reluctantly dealt with it.

The living room stays scattered in toys but the favorites remain a half full water bottle, coasters, the dog's stuffed monkey, and of course Eeyore.
