Our Silly Boy!

So Caleb enjoys watching television...and one of his favorites is Thomas & Friends. There is one particular scene in one of the episodes that really makes him laugh. I finally was able to catch it on video the other morning before school...


Caleb also loves to give us his cheesy grim now, and it's about the only look we can get a picture of anymore. Here's other pictures from the past couple of weeks...

Feeding his "baby" Raina (the baby at daycare) and watching Thomas & Friends.

Spaghetti face!!!


Cheesy grin!

And again...

A Visit to Grandma Marjean's...

Mommy, Daddy, and Caleb headed back to Twin Lakes for the weekend. On Friday we enjoyed an evening at home with Grandma Marjean. Saturday we headed into Manson to hang out with Uncle Adam, Aunt Sarah, cousin Nolan, and cousin Landon. Nolan napped on and off, and Caleb and Landon had so much fun chasing each other around in circles. They did pretty well with sharing with each other and taking turns. It's so much fun to watch them interact now. They are learning to communicate with each other more every time they spend time together.

Later, Caleb took a nap in Landon's crib and Mommy and Daddy headed to Lindsay Troshynski's wedding. What a pretty wedding and a beautiful day! After the wedding, we loaded up the car with Morgan, Matt, Adam, Landon, and Caleb and headed for Great Uncle Dan and Great Aunt Jane's house in Nevada, Iowa. It was wonderful to hang out with the Ramthun clan and catch up.

Sunday we went to church and then headed to Great Uncle Eric and Great Aunt Ellen's house for the traditional Harvest Meal. We enjoyed chili and oyster stew; and Nolan, Landon and Caleb enjoyed spending time together again. Ellen made cupcakes and the group sang happy birthday to me (Morgan) for my birthday, yummy! Caleb fell asleep on my shoulder so I laid him down in the dining room and he slept for almost 2 hours. Landon also ended up falling asleep so Sarah laid him down next to Caleb. It was so sweet! Then it was time to head on home to Northwood... Until the next visit :-)

Happy Halloween!!

Caleb decided to be (well we picked out) a train engineer for Halloween because he loves Thomas the train right now. He wore some overalls, a red handkerchief, and a little hat (most of the time). He wasn't very fond of wearing the hat. We went to his baby sitter Barb's house, to Great Grandma Betty's, and then to Grandma Teresa's. Caleb hasn't figured out the point to trick-or-treating yet which was obvious in the fact that he kept handing the candy back to the person who gave it to him!!

We tried to get a picture of Caleb and his cousins Jaxon and Makayla, but they were too excited to sit for very long... We enjoyed supper at Grandma Teresa's and then we headed home to sleep off the extra sugar!

Getting ready...

Not so happy to wear his hat and bandanna...

And now they are ready to move on :-)

Fun with Cousin Jaxon!

Cousin Jaxon and Grandma Teresa stopped over at our house last week for a little cousin one-on-one fun. Caleb thought it was so funny to follow and crawl around after Jaxon. They seemed to have a lot of fun together, and I am sure we will do this many more times in the future!


Breaking for a snack of Cheetos!

Watching some Thomas & Friends...
