Although Caleb has been a little bit of a crabster lately (thanks to some serious teething) he's still managed to put a smile on our faces time and time again. For being crabby with the teething, he's still pretty happy a majority of the time. Over the past few weeks of ups and downs, we've started to notice a few more of Caleb's favorite things that keep him happy and content:
1.Reading, reading, reading...he could sit with a book for what seems like hours. If we're not reading to him, he's probably crawling about looking for the next book to open...can you say "child of a teacher"?!?
2.Moving...he has to be on the move. Gone are the days of holding, snuggling, cuddling, etc. He's still not so sure of the whole walking thing. He's smart enough to realize that it might take effort to learn something new and it's just as easy to stick to what he does well...crawling!
3. Playing...he's started to become really interested in playing and modeling after what we do. If we show him a task, he likes to mimic it. Tyler decided it would be fun to teach him how to "save money". He learned how to put quarters into the piggy bank. You've got to start somewhere, right?!?
4.Eating...well, sort of. Caleb has a much bigger appetite than he did even a few weeks ago. Grandma has been introducing him to all sorts of new foods at her house and he's taken a liking to most of what he's tried: pancakes, french toast, eggs, grilled cheese, mac n cheese, muffins, and the list continues. Unfortunately, it seems like most of what we try to give him at home isn't such a hit. We've been trying to get him to eat more meat, but he really seems to like fruits and veggies so much more. With a lot of the new things, he just spits it right out and goes back to what he's used to and knows he likes...such as a giant pile of peas.
