Favorite Things

Caleb loves to play with blocks and games. This particular day he used the Jenga blocks to build a railroad track. He is a huge fan of Thomas the Train, but not of real trains in particular. When we were visiting my sister in Glendale, KY and ate at the famous "Whittle Top" (Whistle Stop actually), we timed it perfectly to arrive and park right when the train came down the track. Caleb was fascinated at first, but then became completely frightened. We were close enough to the train to feel the vibrations, so it was somewhat understandable. He later played on a somewhat real looking model train that did not move. By the way, the food at the Whistle Stop is great if you are ever out that way and make a stop off on your way to Louisville. I strongly suggest the Blackberry Cobbler.

Another things Caleb loves to do is work outside with his daddy, especially if it involves the water hose. He completely soaked himself this particular day when they washed my car.

Funny Videos

These are a couple of recent videos of Caleb that I thought were pretty cute. I love that he really smiles for himself when taking his picture in the first one. And the second one is just so funny- the boy ate his dumplins like he hadn't eaten anything in days! He is such a country boy- which is very understandable considering how his momma sounds on the video! I hate my voice- I am such a hick! Not that I want to sound like I'm from New York or anything like that, but I am just so country! I'm blaming it on the fact that I was born in NC, raised in TN, lived in NC after getting married for a few years, moved to Memphis, TN and lived there for a couple years before finally returning to my hometown in TN. I should have spent sometime in Europe- maybe then I wouldn't speak sooo verrry verrry sllllooowwww.

Counting

Pets, Park and Last Day of School!

Caleb was thrilled to find some new pets outside. He absolutely loved the catepillars! I think he had about 5 crawling on him at one time. He also found an inch worm which he let crawl on him.

Grandmama found this cute little turtle while walking and saved it for Caleb. When Jeremy asked him what he wanted to name it, Caleb promptly replied, "We'll call him Doozer." Hilarious to us because Doozer has been Caleb's nickname since he was a newborn. We released the turtle a few days after hanging out with us. We thought it needed to be in the wild.It was so beautiful and warm the last week of April that we took Caleb to the playground for a picnic. He had a blast getting to play on the slide and other equipment.Going down the slide was not enough for Caleb. Pretty soon he figured out how to climb back up. We were pretty impressed at his determination!
Please excuse my apparel; I'm somewhere around 36 weeks, so if it fits, it will have to do! Plus, it was hotter than expected. I couldn't resist a picture with my little man though!

Eating on the run as time allowed!

Caleb had started telling Jeremy he wanted to go to work with him and since Jeremy had to wear a tie on rotation at the hospital, Caleb also had to wear a tie. It was hilarious! It was sad too, of course, because Jeremy couldn't take Caleb and once Caleb had his shoes on, he really thought he was going to go with Jeremy.

Jeremy's last day of rotation for pharmacy school! Yahoo! Caleb and I are so proud of him. We celebrated by going out to the Cheesecake Factory while my mom and brother kept Caleb. We had a great time and the food was fantastic! He now has the month of May off with graduation on May 29, which just so happens to be little Eli's due date. Actually, he is not off per se as I have a honey-do list for him a mile long and he also has to study for boards. Nevertheless, Caleb and I will enjoy having him home for a few days before baby brother arrives!

Easter 2009

We had a great time spending the week before Easter in Glendale, KY with my sister and her family. Caleb enjoyed his first Easter Egg Hunt and playing on the playground at their church. He also loved tormenting his cousins with requests to "go down-tairs" and play with their toys.
