Christmas all around!

So this was officially Kaleb's second Christmas, but since he was so young last year, this is the first one he really enjoyed! We had several family Christmas celebrations to go to, so here are some pictures of us making the rounds!
Kaleb and James at Mimi and Grandpa's house with their new backpacks.

Back at home we finally decorated the Christmas tree. (Had to get through the birthday party first!) Here's Kaleb helping Daddy put the star on top.

Since he's a year old now, Kaleb gets to face forward in his carseat. Here is the first glimpse of him facing forward. He was very curious as to what was going on.

Next stop was Orange, TX... Here's Kaleb opening presents at Grandma Linn and Grandpa David's house. He liked playing with the wrapping and ribbons! Mommy liked the clothes!

My big boy sitting on the fireplace...

Over at Aunt Debi's house Kaleb got more presents!

Christmas Day! Since Kaleb stayed up so late at Aunt Debi's house, he decided to sleep in until 9am on Christmas Day! He obviously didn't get the whole Santa thing yet!

Santa Claus came to see us all! Even Maverick!

And my sleepy baby finally woke up (and in a really good mood)! He found his car right away and we couldn't get him out of it! I think he opened just about every other present sitting in his car.

more presents...

We had one more family Christmas in Texas City, but it seems I was too busy chasing Kaleb around to get any pictures! :( Overall Kaleb had a very merry Christmas! It's hard to believe he's grown so much in a year! Kaleb on Christmas day 2007

All clean! I'm ready to open presents now!

diving in!!!
Every time Kaleb would open a present and start to play with it, someone would take it away and give him a new one to open. He kept looking to see where they were taking all his toys. As soon as he finished opening everything, he went straight to the hallway where all his new toys were waiting!
riding his fire truck...

Thank you to everyone! Happy first birthday sweet boy! We love you!

Happy 1st Birthday Kaleb!

Kaleb's First Thanksgiving!

Kaleb had a great Thanksgiving break this past week. Here are a few of the highlights...


Kaleb in the PlayPlace at McDonald's...


New tricks!! Watch to see what I can do...

OUCH! Kaleb was walking around cousin Troy's backyard, tripped and hit his head on the concrete porch. Here's the aftermath...
Kaleb and Daddy...

Daddy helping Kaleb take his first pony ride!

More of the pony ride... He really enjoyed it! More than most of the other kids!

Our sweet little boy! I love these pictures!

Kaleb hugging Mommy... We don't get too many of these, so we have to enjoy the ones we get!
The family picture...

Kaleb loves to play peekaboo. Here he is when we were out to breakfast. He put the napkin over his face and would pull it back off really quick!

Stay posted for some birthday pictures soon! Our little son is about to be 1!

11 Months!

Kaleb's already 11 months old!!! (ok, tomorrow really!) He's growing up soooo fast. It seems like every day he's learning something new. When we got home this evening it wasn't raining!!!, so we played out in the front yard for a little while. Kaleb liked it when Mommy would hold the leaves up high and let them fall on him. Here are a few pictures of him playing with the leaves! His shirt is wet because he was "drinking" his water on the way home. "Drinking" consisted of him getting a big mouthful, gargling it, and blowing bubbles in his mouth with it until it was all over him!

Here's a video of him when the neighbors cat came to play. He keeps calling it a dog but purrs at it...

After bath...getting ready for bed...one happy baby!
