Too Precious

The Many Faces of Caelan

Monday morning Mama and Caelan took off for playland in Burger King. We are NOT fast food fans, so this was our first time. It was also a desperate attempt to get some energy out and let the neighborhood sleep as we were the only ones up at 6:30am!

Because it was so early, we had the whole playland to ourselves. Caelan was not shy about striking a pose. Here you can see him make the cheese face, the fish face and some others all while playing. He's a very talented model.

Training

Nana and Papa played with Caelan with the big blue ball. He tackles it like a football player and perfects his agility skills.

Chugga chugga chugga

Choo Choooooo! Caelan had a blast on the train at the zoo. He finally got to ride it after a week straight of talking about it. He looks a little scared, that's because the fun has overwhelmed him. He loved it!

LOOK!

We're on a date. Nana and Papa played with Caelan to give Mama and Daddy a night out at the Old Market.

Working on Khaki's Brakes

Here they are working hard on Khaki's brakes on Thursday. Daddy's fixing the car, and Caelan is working on the tire.

No, No, No, Mommy!

Just kidding, but doesn't it look like I'm getting chewed out?

I'm a tough guy in a garage

It's like he's at home most in this garage.

Paci-less for One Night!

At least someone is using the work out ball! Caelan had a blast on this thing. He would sing "Row Row Row Your Boat" and then Daddy would bounce him. Big day for him: He sang 3 songs to us (The one above, Ring Around the Rosie, and Rock-a-bye Baby) and he ALSO slept the whole night without his pacifier. We've been using it only for sleeping purposes and are MORE than ready to toss it!

It's never too warm for flame boots

He insisted. We gave in. He's got a whole Little Mr. Sunshine thing going on with these boots. I think it works for him. :-)

Zoo Trip

These pictures are in reverse order of our trip to the zoo. We met up with Jamie and Russ. Caelan was obsessed with the monkeys. Also, the choo choo was a big hit. Next time, we are definitely going to have to take it around the zoo. His love of trains has been awakened.

The first two pictures are of what happened seconds after leaving the parking lot. We live 15 minutes from the zoo, and he was passed out before we hit the main road home.

It was a good time!

The Fam

Rolynne and Kally.

Lew and Papa. All were relaxing at Grawawa's party. Aunt Rol can hook you up with some great Mary Kay products! It's nice to have some connections!!

Grandma's a Doctor!

Here are some cute shots of Caelan at Grawawa's graduation party. She graduated from USD, and received her Doctorate in Education. (There's more to the title too!)

In one picture Papa and Caelan are reading on the deck.

Super Pool

Grandma's sand toys and new water balls made for super fun in the super pool.

New Pool Time

We had a good time on Mother's Day. Caelan used his new pool. It is perfect for him. There's a whale slide that goes into a blue pool. There is also a spray connection, but he opts for that only occasionally. Good times in the back yard. He and daddy got me a cow card signed in crayon and a pretty bracelet. It was a good day.

What are Adults Doing on a Baby's Blog?

They are too fun not to publish! Happy 30th "almost" surprise party, Jamie! Here's the gang at Dave and Buster's celebrating one of the many 30th birthdays that are coming in the next two-three years. Teresa, Dan and Lew were there in spirit!

Sog

Caelan had names for Nate and Scott. He calls Scott, Sog and Nate, Night. Here he is with Sog on one of their walks around the yard. Now every time we go outside, Caelan needs his hat. Thanks, Sog. :-)

Puddle and Worm Fun

Oh yeah, boys are messy. Notice the sandals on his feet. Nice one, Mom.
