Meeting the Cousins

In mid-February we drove down to Houston for the memorial for Isaac's Uncle Sidney.  While the occasion was a sad one, it was also the first time Caleb got to meet most of his Grammy's family, including his cousin Alex.  Caleb loved playing with Alex, and they had such a great time that Alex even stopped to visit on his way home!  Here are a few photos from the weekend.

What is it about people patting me on the head?

Even though Caleb had a lot of fun in Houston, his Mommy and Daddy will miss Uncle Sidney.  Here is a picture of Caleb and his Uncle from Memorial Day weekend, 2010:

Caleb's First Birthday - Part 2

On the Sunday of Caleb's birthday weekend, we had a great party at Gymboree.  Caleb invited all of his friends to come play and eat yummy cupcakes, and play and eat they did!  Caleb loved climbing and sliding and running around the play area, and he enjoyed the music and games that all the kids played together.  He didn't care too much for the cupcake and preferred applesauce instead.  Mommy's not going to argue with that preference.  Here are some pictures from the party:

A great time was had by all, and hopefully the exercise made up for all the sugar!

Better late than never!  Here are some pictures and video from Caleb's birthday party weekend.  Thank you to everyone that came into town, and we are sorry that not everyone was able to make it!  Here are some photos from the Caleb's family birthday celebration. He had a party with friends too, but that will be in a separate post.

Caleb's First Haircut

On the day of Caleb's first birthday, Mommy decided it was time for a hair cut.  Since this was Mommy's first week at her new job, she had Thursday (Caleb's birthday) off so there was plenty of time for beauty!  Caleb didn't seem to mind getting his hair cut.  He got to drive an airplane and watch Toy Story the whole time, and he got a balloon and a certificate afterward - not a bad deal!

Happy and Scruffy

Lookin' Sharp!

I like my new haircut!

Haircuts are AWESOME!
