Caleb's First Snow

Caleb got to experience his first snow in Colorado today. Now my last post was about weather in the upper 60's (we even hit 70's) within the last week, and last night it started to snow. Gotta love Colorado weather. This morning I woke up to see snow out the window and bolted out of bed. I had a lot to do to get to that snow. I had to feed Caleb, change him, dress him, put him in a snowsuit (for the first time), take a picture with his Daddy before Ted left for work, take a shower, get dressed, bundle Caleb up again and finally take him outside in the snow. Whew! All before 7:30 in the morning! Let's just say I am not bored! The reason I wanted to get out there in the snow, was so I could get pictures before it possibly melted. Like I said, Colorado weather, you never know.

So all was accomplished and here are the photos.

The best snow angel I have ever made....Caleb!

Mom took away my hands, so I will eat the snow suit instead! I think his expression is hilarious!

Picture with Daddy before he heads to work.

View outside our front window. There are very few things that will happily get me out of my warm cozy bed in the morning and snow is one of them!

Hike with Grandma Ann

Ted's Mom came to visit last week since she had a conference in Denver and we decided to take a walk in the park next to our house. It was in the upper 60's and we were hot in our jeans. We took Coley and headed out. We took the upper ridge trail and soon found out our walk was going to be a hike! It was beautiful and we had so much fun! Caleb would sigh when the wind would blow by him and then he fell asleep as we walked. Coley went off leash and met lots of doggy friends along the way.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! This year Caleb will be a.............monkey!! Is anyone surprised? Since his Dad is really into monkeys. :) Here are a few pictures of the little guy.

Updates

I will attempt to update the blog...FINALLY!! To make it easier for me and a little quicker for you to catch up, I will post photos and add captions. This will be a long post, but shouldn't be too bad because it will be mostly photos. SO much has happened in the last 2 months! Here we go...

2-3 Months

Laughing with Daddy

I am WAY behind on posting. I apologize. But for the time being here is a video of Caleb talking, looking, and laughing with his Daddy. The same video is also on you tube and facebook:)

Caleb rolling to the other side

Okay, I don't know what possessed him to roll over in the first place, but today he decided to roll to the right instead of the left! He did it several times so we were able to capture it on video. He is getting faster, so Mom better be ready for quite the little mover! Grandpa Ray is filming.

1 Month

Here is Caleb at 1 month. He didn't want to smile for the camera. It is hard to catch on camera. He does smile at Mom when she is laughing. He also does a cute little grin when he thinks no one is looking.

I took Caleb's picture with Curious George, Ted's favorite monkey, a scale to show how much Caleb is growing.

This is a shot of Caleb learning to suck on a pacifier. I thought it was so funny that the pacifier has a monkey attached to it. It is one that a friend had and because it was a monkey Ted wanted one. So my mom found one in Tulsa and brought it with her for Caleb.

Grandpa Ray came to visit from California this weekend. Here he is meeting Caleb for the first time.

Mom's good friend Jenni that came by from Oklahoma. She just ran the incline!!! She is a superstar!! :)

Jenni looks like a pro. Wonder when she will have some kiddos for me to play with...

;)

Guess who picked out my outfit? Yes, my tummy is full. Mommy just fed me. :)

3 Week Checkup

Caleb had his 2 week checkup when he was 3 weeks old. They couldn't get him in any sooner. Here are some photos of the event. :)

Squirmy boy.

Doing a better job cooperating. :)

Oh no! Don't touch me! I just want to go to sleep!

Okay, not so bad. :)
