Caleb has been learning many new things this summer...

to swing, to read,



to eat corn on the cob, to play in the sprinkler,

and he thinks he is ready to learn to drive.

Mariners' games

Last week we headed to Seattle with my sister and her husband to watch the Mariners beat the Cubs 2 out of 3 games. The weather was perfect and we all had a great time, except maybe the Cubs fans.

Caleb was trying to figure out what this thing was.

We are sure we heard Caleb's first words uttered, "Just let me have a little sip."

Summer is starting!

Caleb is starting to enjoy solid foods and seems to love anything placed in front of him, especially his first slice of watermelon. He needed a bath afterwards.


Our first summer trip was to grandma and grandpa's in Hood River. Caleb enjoyed sitting in his mom's old high chair and getting splashed from grandma in the bath tub.

He is becoming quite the musician!

8 months

Caleb is still a wonderfully happy baby. He is crawling all over the place and started pulling himself to his feet this week. I'm sure it won't be long before he is running around the yard.
