Okay, I'm not sure if it's the age or what but this kid seriously is adorable! I'm wanting to blog all I can before this new little bundle of joy arrives in our home. Before I'm totally sleep deprived and no longer a "nice" mom to my two year old, or even able to think about another child besides a newborn. Let's just say that I am in LOVE with him. He is such a happy kid and really hilarious. He TALKS and TALKS and TALKS and makes the funniest faces EVER. Honestly he can't go more than 10 seconds with out a pause in between words, sentences, thoughts, etc. My dad has nicknamed him Glenn Beck, because like Glenn Beck Caleb has the gift of GAB.
A few days ago I went over board on buying spices. Random, I know but totally important in your food storage. My sister of coarse had this brilliant idea to make home made dressings, dips, from all the spices. So that's what Jared and I did one night. We made Ranch dip, Taco Seasoning and Italian Dressing Seasoning. I have all three in three different mason jars and I have to admit I have used two of the three already and I really am pleased. So thanks again Shan for the great tip! I have to admit though we had to shower that same night because we were both sneezing and coughing due to all the pepper! But after the mess was all cleaned up it was totally worth it. Ok, on to my story about Caleb. He has been creating his "Oquirrh Mountain Temples" by stacking all the spices up on the table. One morning Jared thought he'd totally impress his little dude buy building it all the way to the ceiling! Lets just say Caleb thought it was SUPER cool! Jared was nice and even let him knock it over!
Here is our little man helping roll out pizza dough. Like I said in a previous post, he's really my only kid at home most hours of the day, so hence the MANY pictures of him.
Just one happy goofy kid!
He ate all his dinner and Jared had a favorite "Daddy treat" for him...Ice cream!
Oh, and here is the confession...Caleb LOVES cartoons, movies, t.v., you name it he loves it! He started his little wee life not having any interested in television, but either he has an addictive personality or I have allowed a little more TV time for this kid. Call me a bad parent, but sometimes a cartoon here and there is good. That smile you see on his face is because he as adopted/kept a toy from a friend of mine. If you don't know who that character is, let me educate you on Caleb's favorite show...Little Einsteins, "rocket" He LOVES this show. I find it totally adorable. In fact I really enjoy sitting with him and watching it. He does all the little hand movements, calls out the levels of sound, and sings the little songs. We played at the reservoir the other day and our friends had this toy, Rocket. Caleb saw it and instantly he didn't let it leave his hands. So after about 2 weeks of "stealing" this toy, he has yet to loosen his grip from it. It's totally adorable though because he pretends he's chasing after "big jet" (the bad guy on the show), has Rocket sleep, eat, dance, fight bad guys, etc. It really has been fun to see him LOVE a toy so much. I think it's time I invest in our own little Rocket toy and give this one back. So, thanks Alissa for sharing your Rocket toy with Caleb. It's been well loved and will continue to be until I see you again!!
