A Trip to the Zoo

The zoo is one of my favorite places so I was very excited for our first trip to the zoo with Caleb. I am not sure that Caleb had any idea where we were but he seemed to have a good time riding around in his stroller as Taylor and I looked at all the animals. All the fun the zoo has to offer apparently makes for a very tired baby.

Sitting Up...Kind of

I know this isn't really sitting up, but I think for almost five months it's pretty good. I am sure that before I know it this little man will be sitting up all by himself without the support of his hands.

Cereal

Tuesday was Caleb's first experience with cereal. As you can see he wanted cheerios but he had to settle for some rice cereal instead. It seems crazy to think that almost five months have passed and now our little guy is eating "real" food. I guess what people say is true...they really do grow up so fast.

I wasn't sure if Caleb was ready for cereal but Monday night while Taylor and I were eating dinner he was opening his mouth like a baby bird every time we would put a bite in our mouths. These pictures pretty much tell the story of a baby that was ready for some "solid" food.

Fun in the Sun

I love summer and I love being in the pool! Hopefully Caleb will feel the same way. He got his chance today to try out his new floaty at Uncle Barry and Aunt Debbie's pool. Before we got in the pool we had to try on our new shade hats and have a small photo shoot. Thankfully Caleb is usually willing to participate in our silliness. When we finally got ready to swim he was a little apprehensive about the cool water but quickly decided it was like a giant bath tub. I think he is going to like swimming.

Meeting Jude

Caleb met Jude, his second cousin, today. Jude lives in New York with his mommy and daddy. This was Jude's first trip to Texas so we thought we would all meet at Grandma and Pop Steele's house for the introduction. Jude was born 5 weeks after Caleb but as you can see there is little difference between the two of them. We all had a great time and we look forward to hanging out with Jude again soon!

Swimming

Tonight after dinner Taylor and I decided to see if Caleb liked swimming. We picked up his Uncle Grady and headed for the park. Caleb was a little tired, but still enjoyed himself. He was completely fascinated by the older children in the pool.


Taylor made me take the picture above. I didn't find it nearly as amusing as the boys did. There must be something about pictures of fake peeing that I as a woman will never understand.


Lastly, there was a dad at the park that commented that he couldn't remember his son ever being that small. He asked what Caleb weighs to which I replied, "almost 13 lbs." The man then exclaimed, "Oh, he must be about 6 weeks old, right?" I know that his britches were a little big for him and Caleb is a tad on the small side, but 6 weeks old....I could have cried.
