Go Rangers!

Today we took Caleb to his first Ranger game. I am sure that with Taylor's love of the Rangers this will be the first of many visits to come. The Walker family joined us for the fun and I think Hayes and Caleb both had a good time. Caleb even took a nap in the middle of the game which is hard to believe if you know Caleb and how particular he is about napping! We left the game a little early due to the hot sun and hungry babies but we had a great time while we were there. Thanks for going with us Walkers. Maybe next time the Rangers can pull off a win.

This is one sleepy baby that is trying to take it all in at the ballpark.

Apparently Hayes wasn't in the mood for pictures today. Perhaps too many were taken last week at Disney World.

Cookin' in the Kitchen

Saturday night while Taylor and I were cooking dinner, Caleb decided that he needed to be helping. I am not sure that he was much help getting dinner on the table but I think he enjoyed playing. He will be ready to learn how to make those tasty cinnamon rolls that Taylor makes in no time!

The picture above makes me laugh because it is almost as though Caleb is about to say, "We're having what for dinner"

This is how we know that Caleb really is my child. He and I have the same taste in ice cream bowls!

Big Boy Seat

Caleb is now in his big boy car seat! For the past few weeks anytime we were in the car Caleb was most likely unhappy which led to an unhappy mommy. I would look in the back seat to see a little boy trying the sit up in his infant carrier. That can't be good so bye bye infant carrier and hello big boy car seat. Hopefully this will help with the dislike of the car.

A Laid Back Labor Day



We headed out to East Texas for the weekend to enjoy some fresh air and fishing. Usually it's just the three of us and Taylor's family, but this time the entire Steele side of the family went. I think the total count was 23 people staying in two houses. Needless to say there were some moments where we just needed to get away. Caleb found his quiet spot on the front porch rocking in his little white rocking chair. I really thought that he would just sit in the chair but oh no he figured out how to make it go back and forth. So much for a relaxing spot for mommy and daddy!

Swim Lessons


On Saturday we took Caleb to his first swim lesson. Thanks Meredith for inviting us to sign up! Grandma and Grandpa came along to join in the fun, too. We were glad to see that our friends, the Carpenters, were also there. Caleb practiced floating on his back and his tummy. He also went underwater for the first time. The instructor told the parents to blow gently in your child's face to make them scrunch it up and then dunk them. This would have been great if Caleb had actually scrunched his face. Instead he just looked at us like we were crazy and then seemed really annoyed that we put him under water. I think in the weeks to come he will get better at that part.
