Tag!

Thanks for the tag, Adrian! :) I know this is from over a month ago but I just now saw it! I guess I just didn't scroll far enough.





The Tag: Go to your picture file, go to the 4th file, and the 4th picture and post it! Here is my picture!

This is before Caleb was born. I think my mom was brushing my hair but I'm not entirely sure. :)






I tag...Nikki, Jen & Tash!

Lovin My Teddy:

Hey Mama!


You're just sooooo funny, mommy!



The Tooth:










First Tooth!

Caleb has cut his first tooth! YAY! He has had a bump on his lower gum for the past two days and yesterday it was really red and looked like a blister. Well, we woke this morning to a beautiful pearly white! It's mostly just a white line that feels kind of sharp but eventually it'll grow and my baby boy will have a mouth full of teeth. :( Sad!

I'll attempt to get a picture of it later, but we all know how impossible it is to try and get them to show you the tooth, let alone take a picture! We'll have to get him laughing!

--construction--

i'm working on designing my own blog background so ignore the mess for now! thanks :)

Oh My, Oh Me!

It’s just over two weeks until Thanksgiving! Yum, Yum! This weekend I’m working on pumpkin pie. I’ve never made it before and haven’t particularly cared to because I am not a fan but Tanner loves it so it’s my new project! I’ve mastered the art of homemade crispy tacos and shredded beef chimichangas so now it’s time I work on his pie. I found a recipe that got rave reviews so hopefully it turns out to his standards. He would be fine if I just bought him a pie but it gives me a sort of satisfaction to be able to MAKE him a pie. I suppose I can be old fashioned at times!

Wedding Talk: So in chatting with my work ladies I came to the conclusion that I am extremely indecisive! Part of me wants to do the destination ceremony and get married in San Diego. One of the most important things to me is the photography (surprise, surprise) and San Diego has some amazing photo ops! Plus, I can see how fun it would be to have family and close friends over in San Diego for a beach ceremony and then a yummy dinner. We can all do breakfast the next morning at CafĂ© 222 (as if we could fit!) and then traveling up to San Fran for a little honeymoon. Then we can have a big party/reception when we get back. But…then do I miss out on the first dance/father-daughter dance/garter toss…I don’t want to miss that stuff! But does etiquette allow for that? Oh my, oh me…I hate making decisions!

Last night a bunch of people on my mom’s side of the family went to Aubelo’s for dinner. It was really good! Plus, it was awesome to see that side of the family. Most of them haven’t met Caleb so they got the opportunity to see the little munchkin. My only complaint that restaurant was freezing! Seriously, Caleb had on his long sleeve shirt (and it’s fairly thick) with jeans and his shoes and he was still shivering! Poor baby had to sit bundled up in his hoodie!

ScrapFest this weekend! Yay! I have to sit tonight and send pictures to Ritz and plan pages so I can pick up some things I’ll probably need before Saturday night. Maybe Saturday morning I’ll take Caleb out and get some cute winter morning pictures. I need to find him a cute beanie. Perhaps Children’s Place visit Saturday! I love that store. :)

I should probably get to working. I have gobs of work sitting in my inbox. We have someone leaving us today and won’t be getting a new person until at least the 24th. So they won’t be trained until at least January (and probably longer) so that means for the next few months I’m going to be swamped. I don’t mind being busy (makes the days fly) so that’s okay.

SEVEN Months!

Here is a list of all the new things I can do at 7 Months:

*Crawl
*Pull myself to standing
*Clap my hands
*Strum my fingers against my mouth & make the “buh, buh, buh” sound
*Feed myself Puffs & other small bits of stuff
*Follow simple instructions like “clap, clap, clap your hands” & “jumpy, jumpy”
*Flirt with the ladies. Oh yeah, I’m already a big time flirt!

Love, Caleb

I cannot believe it’s already November! Halloween has come and gone and before we know it Thanksgiving will be upon us. Scary thought: Thanksgiving is three weeks from Thursday. J I just thought I’d share that bit of happy new with everyone! I am a huge fan of the holidays! I just absolutely adore Halloween through New Years and I can’t help but think that I’m going to love them even more with Caleb here.

Halloween was fun! Tanner’s brother and sister-in-law brought their daughter over to my brother’s house and then we all went trick-or-treating with my parents. Caleb was the cutest little baby on the block! Jade was a very cute Lil Red Riding Hood and Verity was the coolest Bat Girl! We got him just a little bit of candle, he liked to grab it out of the bowls so we figured we'd let him try at a few houses. Plus, strange adults would grab handfuls and dump it into his bag. Yeah, he can't eat it! We are going to let him get a tiny taste of a sucker.
