Crawler!

Well, I keep meaning to update when I have a chance to upload some pictures as well, but alas, I never remember!!! Yikes! So I was thinking.....maybe I should just UPDATE ANYWAY! ( I know novel concept!)

So here goes....

We now officially have a crawler! He's mobile! I think of all the babies that were born around (and after) him, he's been the last to get there. But he's such a laid back fella, and just had no motivation! He'd see the toy or whatever across the room that was interesting, make some effort to get there, then just grab whatever was closer and be happy. Now that he's discovered the joy in it, however, he's all excited to follow us around and discover his new, bigger world.

He's also much more aware of where we are and whether or not we are with him in the same room. And once he discovers this (or watches us leave) he just melts down! Sometimes he'll crawl and come to our voices but many times he's kind of whining while he does it. "how dare you walk away from me!"

Overall, however, he's still such a happy, cheesy smiley, kind of guy. He's discovered how to bob his head back and forth (thanks grandpa mike) and now does it to music.

Caleb and I also took a trip to see my family in Arkansas for about 4 days. We went to the lake, just hung out at my sisters, and saw Aneisa, Destinee, and Sadie. There were lots of others I wanted to see, but unfortunately didn't have time. We will get to some of them next time! We stopped at Nathan and Leanna's on the way down and let me tell you it's a VERY nice way to break up the trip! (not that it's horribly long, but still) It took a bit for Caleb to get used to all the new-ish faces, but in the end was quite enamored with everyone (as long as mommy was in view, lol!) On the way home I gave him his little photo book that has pictures of some of the people we don't get to see often and he just grinned over papa bill's picture and tried to eat it!

Well, I think that's the latest updates! Daddy made sure to get him all decked out for his first nebraska game today. He'll be sure to make him into a husker boy! Don't think I'll be abe to keep Craig from letting him watch tv when it comes to football, but I think I'll let that one go =).
