Let me tell you about my sunshine: his name is Caleb.
He'll be 8 months old this week!
He is curious.
He has the best smile.
He eats everything. I intercepted his attempt at dog poop---go me. And I find all kinds of treasures in his mouth throughout the day.
He likes his tools. (Watch out, Rae!)
He loves everybody.
Yup, he eats everything.
I kept waiting for the balloon turtle to pop...
He has four teeth, two top (which are the most recent) and two bottom. And two more coming in soon.
He loves playing under the table.
Sometimes, he gets high centered.
And sometimes, Mom helps him only after taking a picture.
This is about as serious as his face gets. He spends a lot his day laughing.
He loves street festivals, but...
still needs his beauty naps.
The Japanese tourists all took pictures of his cuteness. We even got stopped on the street by a photographer who wanted a picture of Caleb.
Caleb is a pass-a-long baby. One of those babies that everyone wants to hold and makes everyone feel better by being around.
He's started growling, and it is impressive. But, you can't take the growl seriously when he laughs at himself seconds later.
Caleb hero worships Rae and loves Joe and Captain. Captain licks Caleb's face, and Caleb follows Captain everywhere. They share teething things.
Caleb started crawling a few weeks ago, and he has an "Igor" crawl. He tucks one knee up and crawls with a lilt, so he can sit at the earliest convenience. He's not quite figured out how to roll, so if he lands on his back, he's a stuck turtle. He's fast when he sees someone open a door (the fridge, the back door, the dishwasher, the front door, the door to the basement...) and he's right there ready to leap.
He can't sit still. Even when he is being fed, he's kicking his legs and looking at everything going on, trying to take it all in. He needs people. Not necessarily to hold him, but he needs action, needs to see what is going on and be a part of it.
He's my sunshine!
