• Can walk up/down stairs with being able to hold on to either a hand or the rail/wall.
• Climbing up on couches and chairs all the time now.
• Such a sweet big brother. Loves to give kisses and hugs to Ansley.
• Is more of a Daddy’s buddy than a Momma’s boy.
• Sleeps all night when doesn’t get woken up by his own coughing fits(colds?, allergies?). Takes a nap from about 1-3:30pm. Sleeps with a burp cloth,"burpie”, and a bear named “Buddy Bear”.
• Bad habits: pouring water out of the tub, keeping fingers in his mouth all the time, thumb sucker,
• He is such a big flirt. Loves to say “hi” to everyone when we are out. Knows how to bat those big baby blues.
• Thinks he owns Chick-fil-a. Walks right in, says “hi” to everyone he can, goes up to the counter and starts babbling out his order.
• Can pee on demand but not quite ready to be potty trained. Getting there though.
• When giving hugs he will pat you on your back(especially if you are patting him).
• Goes to bible study every Thursday morning. He has memory verses and lessons every week. He does dances/sign/moves to them if you sing them(they have matched them with a little song).
• Remembers bible stories he is taught. If we have a book that corresponds to the new story, he will find that book and then that is the book we read over and over. He even picked up on a story about “Mary kissing Jesus’ feet”. I was a little disturbed why  he was kissing/licking my feet until I found out what his latest story was at bible study! He was kissing his mom’s feet. So sweet. He might not be able to talk about it all but it is sure getting in that cute little head of his! (Planting those seeds!)
• Officially registered for preschool in the fall at a local church. He will go three days a week(MWF).

Caleb’s first taste at cake batter bowl.

I think he liked it!
