... with one on the way. This morning, a very cranky and almost inconsolable Caleb provoked me to check his mouth. And there they were ... two pearly whites sticking out of the top of his mouth. His front teeth will take a while to fully descend but in the meantime will cause some pain and heartache. But it's just more proof that he's growing up WAY too fast.
Additionally ... he's beginning to get the idea of cruising. Which means I need to bring up another standing toy for him from the garage. :)

It's been a busy few weeks for Caleb
In just a matter of weeks, Caleb is now army crawling (devilishly fast too), able to get to a sitting position from his back/tummy, clapping and pulling to a stand. He's rocking on all 4's and even starting to do 'downward dog'. It's amazing how big he's getting and how quickly he's moving on and up in life. He wants so badly to keep up with David and I know David will rule the day when Caleb can walk with him. And David is loving that Caleb is eating solids now and even starting to eat puffs. Because David can now be involved in feeding Caleb. He's proving to love drinking water and can do so from a multitude of cups just like David could.
Although Caleb is not 'crawling' in the standard tradition ... he's crawling. He's on the move and is VERY fast. He cruises around the floor. One minute stealing toys in the living room then crawling around the corner and into the kitchen. He ventures under the dining room table without fear and rarely gets stuck. He takes off into the laundry room if I've been in there doing laundry. Mainly, he just wants to check everything out.
He pulls himself up to his knees in his crib. I know he can get all the way to his feet but I think that it's enough for him to sufficiently see over and check everything out that he doesn't go any further. We definitely need to lower the crib with that in mind. He pulls himself to standing on David's red chair in the living room and usually squawks out as if to say 'look at me!'.
We can tell he's teething and after some investigating I've realized that his top two front teeth are trying to make their first appearance below the gum line. No wonder he's been a little wonky lately. Poor guy. And his second bottom front tooth is coming too but the top teeth look closer to coming through. Ouch ...
Today we tried out yogurt melts just for sake of trying them out. He hasn't been wild about puffs and wagon wheels. Maybe they're too soggy? I'm not sure. But today he LOVED the melts. He even actually CHEWED them and not just let them dissolve in his mouth like he does with the puffs and wagon wheels. I gave him a piece of soft pasta the other night and he seemed to enjoy playing with it and trying to eat it. Guess I'll have to try that, some steamed veggies and fruit pieces too. He's getting so big, so fast! Ack!!!
