Our Family Christmas

This was our first Christmas as a family with Mr. Caleb. What a fun experience! Caleb was sitting up and playing with ribbons and even opened up a few of his own presents. He is rolling onto his tummy proficiently now and has even budded his first tooth on the day before Christmas! His second one is on the way now and it is not such a pleasant experience, especially at night time when there is nothing to distract him:(
Shellie is going to try to go back to work this month, we'll see how Caleb likes that?!

Janelle took some family pictures of us and they came out great!

Caleb helped Me bake some cookies. I keep telling him that someday he will LOVE my cookies!


The day after his 5 month birthday, he sat up all by himself and kept himself there! As you can see, we were amazed!Every year the Hermanns family gets together to decorate Christmas cookies, it is pretty fun.Matt and Aunt Harriet, I'm sure he will love that I put this lovely picture of him up on the internet:) Just don't tell him!
Caleb liked playing with the bells

and just looking darn cute!

Five Months Old!

Caleb is on the cusp of some great things right now...like rolling over to his tummy (which we have seen the result of, but not the act itself), sitting up, and getting onto his hands and knees. He is reaching and grabbing well now, so we have decided to get him his own high chair so we can all sit peacefully at the dinner table:) The booster chair in the picture below should work well in a month or so, he seems to be listing a bit in it now though:) He still super talkative, always making noise and we love it! We are all looking forward to Christmas with him, however I am sure the lights on the Christmas tree will steal the show for him. Have a Merry Christmas!
In his new jumper! He LOVES the yellow flower!

Caleb LOVES Addie! He reaches for her and just fixes her gaze on her whenever she is around. She is being very patient with him tugging on her hair whenever she gets in arms reach, this is good!The Sesnaks got us this backpack for Caleb. We tried it on a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly! We are looking forward to this summer, maybe we can get out:) He grabbed onto the handle and hung on while Matt walked around with him.
FEET! They are SOOOOO tasty!
