December 2013

December was an insanely busy month for us! It started a little slow, but quickly picked up towards the end with multiple trips. 

 Caleb decided he wanted to carry the dog bed around everywhere ... and then took a rest in it when he got tired.

 December was the month that Caleb decided he wanted to wear any shoes that were left unattended. He loved wearing my slippers (and did really well walking in them!):

We threw an ugly Christmas sweater party for Michael's class so we had to go and find ugly sweaters to wear!

We woke up early one morning and hit Cracker Barrel for some breakfast. Caleb really liked the color crayons:

He is also very serious about his stickers.

Not kin. At all. :P

It warmed up just enough where we could justify going to the park to run ... he wouldn't stop running!

A puppy hood to run around in.

Someone doesn't like it when Daddy goes outside without him ... so Michael kangaroo'ed him :)

Our ugly Christmas sweater party was a lot of fun! The white elephant gift exchange was a hit!

Teething on the Christmas toys:

Piggy got a little Christmas treat with the leftover ham :)

Papi and Yaya came a little before Christmas! It took Papi, Sasha, Piggy and Caleb to get the small balls out from beneath the couch!

Caleb found Papi's shoes :)

Cruising around and showing off:

New Goodnight Moon pjs!

My whole side of the family all met in Fayetteville, NC at my brother's house to celebrate Christmas! Caleb enjoys all the pink toys in the predominately girl house!

 Papi and Yaya helped Savannah and Taylor put together their puzzle:

 Caleb enjoyed having Papi push him around in the stroller:

Lots of stockings!  All made by my Aunt Sheila!

Looking down at the tree after Santa came to visit:

Waking up super early ... with his glow baby :) It was nice that CJ wasn't in his crib yet!

Checking out the Christmas loot:

Opening stockings. Santa knew how much Caleb loves his baths so we got some bath books and some finger puppets!

Opening presents - he actually "got it" this year!

A new Aggie football (he broke the sound in the old one he played with it so much!):

Puzzles!

Christmas chaos:

Everyone's a comedian :P

Playing with his Hawaiian ukelele!

Hanging out with Daddy:

Piggy and Butch got some doggy Christmas cookies too :) (Diva Sasha didn't want any) lol ...

Looking over Taylor's USMC toy:

Papi and Scout examining the jewelry box with the ballerina:

Yaya and Caleb zooming on the German bike:

Playing with his flashlight in the stroller :/

Pushing buttons on the Reveille nightlight! 

Practicing abc's!

My little doodle :)

Changed his pj's for Christmas night ... since he played in his other ones all day long!

Our little family

Tired Big Buddy:

We went home after Christmas and Caleb immediately played with his new bath toys!

Santa had visited our house while we were gone so Caleb had more toys to open when we woke up!

He really liked looking in the stocking:

Putting all of his stocking stuff in his new red wagon:

He got his own computer (hopefully he'll leave ours alone now!):

The kid loves tools!

He was really into ripping the paper off by this time!

Reading the card from Caleb's great-grandparents in Texas :)

His new favorite seat:

Playing with his computer!

Bailey cat even got some new toys (that she actually played with!):

He loves him so sour cream dippy for his quesadillas!

Starting to tear the house down for our,  yet another, move up to Quantico!
