A Busy Week!

Caleb is officially 4 months old today! Time sure is flying by and we just can't believe how much he has changed since March 21. His last week as a 3 month old was very, very busy. Here's a recap along with a few pictures:

Last Tuesday, Grandma came over with a very exciting present for the little guy. He is the proud new owner of a jumper/swing that hangs in the doorway and provides a lot of entertainment. Caleb is a big fan of trying to stand and he loves to bounce up and down, so this toy is perfect. He also loves playing with the toys attached to the jumper. I'm sure this toy will get many hours of use...thank you Grandma!!!
The last time Caleb wore a pair of shoes was at his baby dedication in the middle of May. At that point, he wasn't aware of most things going on in the world...especially a pair of shoes! Well, things have changed quite a bit since then. Last week, Caleb wore shoes for the first time and this was his reaction (all we can say is how cute is that face?!):
Tyler was lucky enough to go on a short trip to Palm Springs for work over the weekend. That meant that Caleb and Mommy were left at home with not much on their agenda. So, on Friday we decided to take a road trip with Grandma to go visit Auntie Tracy in Champaign. She has a really nice, new apartment that we were very excited to see. We were also quite excited about taking Caleb to see the "place where it all started"...the wonderful University of Illinois...where his Daddy and Mommy met 6 years ago! Our afternoon started with a quick lunch on Green Street (which has changed so much since we were there as students). Caleb sat patiently while we ate lunch. Afterwards, we walked around campus and took some pictures. We certainly hope to be able to bring Caleb back to U of I many times before he enrolls as a student there 18 years from now!

On Saturday, we went blueberry picking with Grandpa and Grandma. Caleb slept most of the time, so we were able to focus on the task at hand and picked several pounds of blueberries...yum yum!
