My parents announced that they were going to visit my grandparents (Granny & Grandpa) this weekend and I thought this would be a great chance for us to go visit as well. We even road up with them to save on gas and have a chance to nap on the way!
We went up Friday morning and came back this afternoon so it was a short trip, but a nice change of pace. The weather was AMAZING for the last two days, so we spent a good portion of our time outside on the patio. (When I say amazing, I mean cool breeze and high around 80!) I think Caleb even got a bit darker on his legs.
Yesterday (Friday) evening, we watched Caleb go down the hall toward my grandparents' bedroom and when we would call his name he would giggle and crawl faster to get all the way there! Grandpa even joined in the fun and chased him down the hallway. We didn't get any of it on video, but I'm sure it's a memory that will always stay with me. It's funny to watch his not so little personality become stronger...he started that game on his own and managed to rope all of the adults into it! My silly little man!
It was a nice visit with my grandparents and fun to spend some extended time with my parents, but I'm glad to be home and have Caleb in his own room again.
On another note - Caleb is now 11 months old! Here are a few facts about him now...
- He prefers to feed himself. Chicken nuggets and carrot risotto puffins are his favorite
- He has now taken about 6 steps on his own (not all together, but a few at a time) but doesn't seem quite ready to go on his own yet.
- He would spend all day outside if possible.
- His newest "thing" is throwing food on the ground that he doesn't want and only eating what he wants off of his tray (Totally not ok with me, but we're working on it)
As always, I can't believe how quickly the time is going by. He'll be walking before we we know it and turning 1...how is that possible??? For now though, I'm going to enjoy him just as he is, there isn't a thing I would want to change anyhow!
