Reading to Mommy

He decided to take a break from the stair climbing to read and show me a book.

Who IS that guy?

A new friend comes with the new house. He lives in the reflection of the dishwasher and Caelan has some good fun and conversation with him. I tried to catch him in the act, but I was too late.

Attacking Mom

Happy Man

At our new house, Caelan has a drawer just for him. It's full of utensils like the one you see on the floor behind him. He had a great time with these Sunday night.

Avid Reader

Often times he'll pile a bunch of books on "the reading chair" and read by himself. This is what it looks like when he does that.

Tired Thomas

Cute even at 6:30am.

Thomas the Train

Caelan's best friend at daycare is Tyler. Tyler's mom got Caelan this adorable outfit. Too cute not to photograph.

Football

He's so fast.

Our First House

We move in Friday! Yaaaaaay!!

Birthday Fun

I know you can't really see them, but the Dixie Chicks are on stage here. Lew got me tickets for my birthday. It doesn't look like it...but we had pretty good seats. I love the chicks!

Mechanical Man

John Deere

Otherwise known as the "putt putt"

Popsickle

He loves them.

Thanksgiving Day

Here some of us are waiting for Grandma's wonderful lunch!

Good Friends

Caelan loves his great grandpa.

Fun With Cousins

My cousins: Danielle, Brandon, Tyler and Austin were very nice to Caelan. There was an intense football game taking place in Grandma's front yard, and they even paused to give Caelan some much needed attention.

Look at Me!

We cut his hair in the bath tub. He was such a trooper. He really liked the razor. The scissors on the other hand was asking too much. He's such a good little man.

I'll Pay Later, I know

For some reason we've had this mullet wig for a whole year and haven't made Caelan pose with it on. This was a long time overdue. He can even make a mullet look good. He's not a fan of it, but it was fun.

Big Fan

Behind Holly and David's House

This was a beautiful yet cloudy day for a walk. The lake picture Lew took looks like it came straight from a post card.

Oompa Oompa

He may look like a cute Oompa loompa. That's my fault. His snow pants have definitely see their last days on Caelan. He had a good time on our lake walk with grandparents, mom and dad. He's sitting on an artist's chair by the lake.

On the lake walk

More Colorado pictures.

Here's our Thomas the Train

We thought it would be cute to get a picture of him AS Thomas....ON Thomas. Also, Ellie and Caelan are looking for the cat under our friend's bed. As you can see by his face, Caelan is very serious about this quest. Ellie has nicely offered the use of her safety light to find him.

Ellie and Caelan

They were swimming buddies, and they now are Halloween buddies.

Happy Happy Happy

One more.

One of the best pictures yet

Yep, he really is this cute

At the pumpkin patch, he got to pet animals, play on the hay maze, and love some pumpkins.

Tools

Lew got new tools for his birthday. Caelan is inspecting them for quality. I think they pass! They are really nice ones.

Rubber Duck Book

Caelan loves this book for the last page. It makes a "duck" sound. The reason that is in quotes is because it's more of a roosterish sound. We try to reinforce the fact that ducks quack, quack. Let's hope it doesn't mess him up too much! :-)
