This is Caleb speaking

It has come to my attention that I don't get nearly as much attention on this blog as my brothers did/do so I decided to take matters into my own hands. After all I am 6 months old already. Mom says I am pretty much perfect. I try to do my best to make life easier for her. I see that those older brothers I have don't have that same perspective. Even when I was getting two teeth on the bottom I didn't ask for much just a little extra hugging.

There is talk that I was going to be in a lot of pain this past weekend so I made sure that I had a nasty diaper rash so that they didn't have to do anything to my boy parts. I am going to try real hard to keep that rash going as long as I can so that I don't have to have surgery.

Mom has also been giving me lots of different foods to eat. I still think that the stuff Mom, Dad, Ben and Jake eat is much more interesting that the goop that I get. It is pretty good however especially as long as it is mixed with banana's everything seems better that way.

My biggest accomplishment is that I have finally figured out how to kick my bothers out of the family room. I have learned the more that I start moving the more mom makes them go away. It took a lot of work but it looks like I have finally figured it out.


Here I am getting myself into a sitting position



Sometimes I get my leg stuck under me and can't figure out how to get it back in the correct position


Here we go. I finally got it. I have also been practicing some yoga moves for Aunt Meg to see next time I see her. I am pretty sure she will be impressed.




well mom says she will try and be better about blogging about me. Hope I filled you in enough for now.

Nana this is for you

We went to Oktoberfest in Rochester Hills with some friends. It was very fun and they had TONS of kid themed stuff. The boys enjoyed some cool blow up toys and a Pony Ride. They seemed to both liked it a lot. Jake's face is really not showing the excitement that he had. I promise he was much more excited than he looks.

Another Benism

The other day Ben and Jake spent the night at my parents house while Ben was combing Opi’s (my Dad's) hair, Ben said, Opi you have a lot of skin on the top of your head!.

Quote of the week

Josh "Ben what is your favorite part of Kindergarten"
Ben "the research"
Josh "oh yeah what are you doing research on?:
Ben "the slides and swings"
Josh "do you mean recess?"
Ben "yep"

School

The first day of Kindergarten was a success :)

Ben was a little nervous but he has decided that he will go back again tomorrow which is good news.

Here we are getting ready to go

On the bike which Ben has decided he will do everyday all year

in front of the sign

Waiting to go in (Ben is not so sure at this moment but he went in with no tears at all)

Jake and Caleb slept on the way to pick up

And here he is after school got out

Caleb has a tooth

So our little man has his first tooth. The other boys didn't get them until very late. Soon Caleb's cute smile will have teeth in it.




So Speaking of Caleb he is super strong. He is pulling him self up to a crawling position. He can even get on his toes and hands (kind of like the plank position). He smiles anytime anyone looks at him. He is almost sitting but really has no interest. He want to move not sit still (I keep trying to tell him that he has to be able to sit before he can start crawling but he doesn't listen I don't really want him moving anytime soon however). He is still sleeping through the night and is a total dream baby. He is such an amazing blessing to our family.

The Real Day

While Ben was sleeping the night before his b.day

Jake and I decided to decorate his door like this

And then we celebrated with a fun cake like this

(FYI that is a light saber)
