Water bottle

Oh sure, Caleb has TONS of toys...toys that move, sing, make noise, have mirrors, vibrate, talk, light up, rattle, bounce, spin, etc (not to mention that his exersauser does it all). but it turns out all he really needs to be entertained is a water bottle!

baby teeth!

Milestone: Caleb's got teeth!!! His center 2 bottom teeth have popped out of his gums! Although you can definitely feel them, he still looks like he's all gums since he sticks his tongue out so much anyway. :P I think he likes to lick his new teeth.

Other news: Caleb also got his first haircut! I saved 2 long locks from the sides of his head for his baby book too :) Here's an after-shot:

Also 2 new Caleb videos uploaded on his site (under the newly uploaded section). I have a few more coming, but haven't gotten around to uploading yet...probably soon :) I was going to do it now, but Caleb's up from his nap! :) YAY! time to play!

Random Tidbits...

Caleb has added "YEAH!" to his list of words (which include "Hi" and "Who"). He uses "yeah!" quite often actually. He also says "Baba" and "A-ba" (which is grandma in Shanghainese). He's naturally Chinese i guess? :) We were trying to teach him "daddy" and "wai poa"/"nai nai". go figure. He's only said "mama" a few times when he's crying :( it was a "waaaaaaa-maaaaa-maaaaaaa....waaa...maaaa-maaaa...." so sad :(

Anyhow, in other Caleb milestones, he's become quite the rolly polly. He rolls all over the place all the time. It's hard to keep him contained in one area, because he always ends up rolling all over the place. He also rolls back and forth and all over the place in his sleep (like mommy :) ).

Caleb also makes all these new faces and noises. One is his "smush face" which is like when you pucker your lips and smash the rest of your features together. He also smacks his lips pretty frequently (I think it's usually when he's watching us eat or when he's hungry). He LOVES blowing raspberries and ...umm..not sure what you call it when you make horsey noises and your lips vibrate. But yeah, he's really good at that! Here's another thing he just started (I'm not sure what to call this face...):

Caleb's favorite thing...

in the whole world is playing with his dady!

It's such a joy for me to see my boys together :) Caleb is always overjoyed everytime he sees his daddy! I've got LOTS of videos of my boys playing together (most still need to be uploaded :( ). But here's some from the past 2 days...




As a mommy, I want the best for my sweet baby. I'm glad he got the best daddy! :)

Funny Faces

Caleb has always made lots of funny faces/expressions. He no longer makes the blue steel face that he used to make so often. Instead he has a funny spit face (which i have on video somewhere but haven't uploaded yet) and he does this mouthing sort of action. (you can see him do it about half way through this video below)



He don't do his sneeze noise as often anymore, but he still does it sometimes. But he does make a super funny yawn noise now. I haven't caught it on video yet, but I'm trying! :P

Caleb's first 4th!

Caleb had lots of fun at the park!Even though he fell asleep at his usual 9ish bedtime...

he woke up in time to catch the fireworks! He was pretty shocked/afraid of it. Here's a video of him (although it's not very exciting because he's totally motionless while watching the fireworks!).


Yay for independence!
