Vegas, Baby!

Caleb had his first trip outside California last weekend! We had trouble getting airplane tickets that landed in time for our showtime of Ka, so we actually ended up driving. As usual, Caleb was really good at entertaining himself in the car, kicking, laughing at random things, and making his funny car faces and noises. He definitely kept me entertained! :)

Since Caleb was so good while we all watched shows, ate lots of buffets, and endured lots of temperature changes from the cold casinos to the hot Vegas air, we spent quite a bit of time at FAO schwartz! He loved playing with his toys and was really interested in a talking/dancing homer. (It was actually pretty amusing).

Anyway, here's some pics from Vegas. I realize there are some dups...but I don't have time to go through it. We're leaving for Hawaii in a few hours :)



By the way...if you look at our photos, you may notice that Gabe is making a funny face in lots of them :P It's because we often get Caleb to smile for photos by saying "Poop poop poop" (which he still finds as funny as he did when he was 5 months). So nice of Gabe to sacrifice his smiling to make Caleb smile :)

Playing at the Park!

I've been meaning to blog for sooo long. Quick updates:
- Milestones: Caleb now has 4 teeth! The 2 on the bottom are pretty much fully out now (I think). The one on the right on top is out a little bit, and the one on the top left just poked through his gums this morning. yay!
- Milestone 2: Caleb eats cheerios now! Actually he has been for a few weeks. It's super cute watching him. He makes some really funny faces inthe process of eating his cheerios, I've gotta video it someday.
- Milestone 3: Caleb went swimming for the first time yesterday! I'll probably post another post on that later.
I think he's had quite a few other milestones, but it's been so long now. I guess I'll just post about it later :)

Anyway, today I've decided to write about Caleb's progress in the park :) Since we live really close to a park and because Caleb LOVES trees, I used to always take him to the park to walk around when he was really little. Now that he's bigger, these park trips are much more fun since he can play on the playground equipment. When we first put him on the swing (on Gabe's lap or on my lap), he threw his arms up and looked like so scared:



So actually we thought he didn't like the swing (which was weird because he used to love his cradle swing). But we found out he actually LOVES going on the swing by himself.



We also tried him on the slide (with me). He seemed to react to the slide the way he did when he went on the swing with Gabe and me. It makes me wonder if he'll be less afraid by himself, but there's no way I'm gonna let him slide down a slide alone!



Anyway, Caleb's had an exciting few weeks and he's got some adventures coming up...Vegas, Hawaii, LA (again) and several weddings. YAY! Hopefully I'll be better about updating :)
