January Firsts

Are we really almost half-way through February? Yikes! Well, January was full of firsts for Caleb. On January 8, we noticed his first 2 bottom teeth popping through the surface of his gums. (Click on the picture to enlarge it so you can see them.)They are now about half-way grown in (and look so cute when he smiles, by the way!). Another first in January was Caleb learning to crawl! My baby is mobile now...and loving it. He crawls everywhere! We have learned that he has a shoe fettish (Paul hates it when I say that). Thankfully it's for athletic shoes, and not pumps. When Paul and I leave our shoes by the door, Caleb always spots them and goes straight for them. Paul's moccasins, which he wears around the apartment, are a big favorite too. The other day I caught Paul playing fetch with our boy - he was throwing his moccasin across the room so Caleb would crawl and get it. Then he'd take it away and throw it across the room again. It was a fun game that kept both of them busy for a few minutes. Caleb also loves the dog toys. And his latest interest is the water bowl for the dogs. I guess everything he's not supposed to have, he likes. Imagine that. He keeps me busy, that's for sure! Here's a video of the progression of him crawling over the last few weeks.
