April 2014

I think I blinked ... and I think I missed April. Wow it went fast. Caleb was busy turning into a big helper and it is coming in super handy as I get bigger and bigger with baby #2!

He loves his little kitchen helper so that he can see what we're up to on top of the counters:

His concentration face while trying to open the pears:

Mama and Caleb shadow while walking Piggy (he always finds/carries sticks while on our walks):

Our MOPS group did a push toy/skate time at the local skate arena during the cold weather and Caleb LOVED getting to run wild and try out all the different toys!

One of his favorite things is getting stamps after storytime at the library. These are his first stamps ever (ladybugs) and he was super proud to show Daddy when he got home from work.

Eating pretzels and playing in the basement while I got in a workout:

Snuggles with Mama (melt my heart!):

He even gave the belly kisses :)

We woke up early on a Saturday and got a wild hair to go yardsale'ing - we scored a Fisher Price door for $10! He loves this silly little thing!!!

We also scored a Spiderman scooter for $3! He thinks he is such hot stuff on it too!

Helping Daddy rake some leaves :)

Free labor!

Daddy and Caleb after church :)

We went out to breakfast, but Caleb just wanted to eat his Oh's out of the travel cup with a spoon.

Getting him through the garage into the house is a challenge because we have to pass his wagon, his trike and his scooter! Today the scooter won.

23 weeks!

Kisses for the baby :)

Juice after his nap ... still looking a little sleepy.

His new favorite place to watch a show ...

2 loveys and a bink. Life is good.

A new helmet!

After registering at the CDC, Daddy came and met us at the park on Quantico for an impromptu picnic and play date!

So strong!!

My boys :)

The kid hates being inside. He's sitting outside just enjoying a snack so that he doesn't have to be inside.

Our cherry tree in the backyard in full bloom!

Hmmm...

He is a super block stacker!

... and gets SOO excited when he gets it taller than himself!

... and stomps around for awhile after doing so.

An ice-cream treat on a Friday evening!

Someone is an ice-cream fan!

"Mama, mo'?"

Trying to scrape the bowl clean!

Love the cherry blossoms!

We went to the Easter egg hunt on base with Marcel and Lori's boys!

He did such an awesome job - especially since it was his first ever egg hunt!

Daddy and his Big Buddy!

Trying to get a pic with the bunny ...

... so not going to happen :)

Bubbles!

I decided to make Caleb's birthday cake myself, so I did a trial run a few weeks early - a giant cupcake!

Caleb checking out his loot:

Wearing Daddy's boots around while cleaning out the garage:

A good sweeper:

Freaking out because there is a bunny in the grass in our yard :)

"A 'B' ... a 'B'"!

Checking out a yellow egg early in the morning:

Cheese!

My bud!

25 weeks!

Michael likes the side view pics so you can really see how gigantic I'm getting :/

We got to meet Bryan and Kristen's newest little boy - Stetson! He is an absolute doll!!

The kid loves playing with balls (*insert crude joke here*)

My old Aggie roomie came into town for Aggie Muster (she is stationed at Norfolk)! It is always so awesome to get to see Trang! Whoop!

Baskin Robbins had a cheap deal on ice-cream so Caleb and I got ourselves a tasty treat :)

Someone got Cool Hand Luke sunglasses ... he's too funny.

He even put them on the top of his head ... just like Mama :)

Snuggles with Daddy before Costco:

Caleb LOVES the water so we got him a water table - he ended up soaked!

He needed a new fireman hat :/

26 weeks!

Carrying his balls all over the house!

Sleeping on the couch during nap time! He was so tired he didn't even make it up to bed!

We also found out the gender of baby #2 this month, but that deserves its own post since it was over Easter with my brother's family :)
