Caleb's First Rodeo

Last night, we went to the Graham rodeo. It was a night filled with barrel racing, horse and steer riding and calf tying. Caleb loved it! He is really into animals these days, and loves seeing cows and horses as we drive around. He says, "mmmooo" for cows and will occasionally making a laughing sound for horses--I guess my "nay nay" sounds kind of like laughing to him. :) He also kept saying "geeee uh", which is his version of "giddy up." Too cute!

I don't think Caleb was a huge fan of the calf tying because every time the calf was caught and then flipped, Caleb would say, "uh oh". Uh oh is right, buddy. I was sad for those calfs too!

Playing with Sticks

Caleb LOVES being outside and LOVES playing with sticks. He also LOVES his cowboy boots and really wanted to wear them when we went to play in the backyard yesterday. I thought he looked like such a little boy in his Honduras soccer outfit that Ryan brought back in January coupled with his cowboy boots. Shorts and boots are definitely the way to go. :)

Third Trimester!

Yea! Yea! I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going by--we just entered our third trimester and yet it seems like we just found out we were pregnant. Anyway, as of our appointment today, baby girl is doing great and continues to be super active. We now start going to our checkups every 2 weeks.

Here's a belly picture from yesterday at 27.5 weeks:

Provin' Mama Wrong

Today has been one of those days for Caleb. While at a friend's house this afternoon, I made the comment that Caleb loved to kick and throw balls but seemed nowhere near being able to actually catch one. Just a few minutes later, I tossed him a ball and he caught it. I know this was a fluke catch, but it was his first one, nonetheless.

During this same conversation with my friend, we were talking about how our little boys hadn't yet attempted to climb out of their cribs. I remarked that I figured Caleb was still awhile from that. Well, about an hour later, after we were back home and Caleb was down for his afternoon nap, Ryan and I heard a thud. You guessed it...our little monkey had climbed out of his crib. Praise the Lord he was ok!

Happy 18 Month Birthday, Little Caleb!

I meant to post this yesterday, but I never got around to it. I can't believe 18 months have already passed since this precious little boy entered the world! What a joy he has been!

I really want to get caught up on blogging, including Caleb's 15 month (3 months late!) and 18 month posts. Soon, soon...I hope. :)
