My second born...

So, today I let Caleb skip his morning nap and instead run around and play while I took pictures of him. He is two years old today! Caleb came into this family seamlessly. It wasn't hard to love another baby. It wasn't strange to include him in my thoughts. He fit.

Caleb's personality has really started to shine through in the last few months. He is talking more and more, and has such a sweet little voice. If you ask him a question he doesn't just say "yes" he says "Oh yeah, uh huh, yep-o."
He likes to sing, and snuggle. He loves to hear stories and wrestle...
...but most of all he loves to wear hats. The firefighter hat has been his favorite lately.
Caleb also loves to eat. He's usually the first to start and the last to finish. Sometimes when I'm preparing a meal I'll look and Asher is just playing then I think "Wait, where's Caleb?" and he's already in his seat at the table just patiently waiting for me to bring him food.
Caleb's kind of a tough guy. He loves Harley's and trucks and I wouldn't challenge him to a wrestling match unless you mean business. He even bites (we're working on that... ). But, he's also the most fun-loving and happy kid I know. I'm so proud of him for learning and growing and trying to do what is right. I've just got to say, I'm sure this kid is going to do great things in his life!Dear Caleb,

I love you. You always make me feel happy.
You're just so much fun to be around, and I love you.
Your laugh and smile make me want to kiss you forever because I love you so much.

I love, love, love being your mommy. I'm so glad that's a forever job.

Love,
Your Mom.

I hope you've had a fun birthday, Mr. Sweetie-sweets!

Okay Abby, I know that you're busy and pregnant and exhausted, but I have a mission for you:

Go to the Pioneer Woman Photography website and submit that picture of Caleb and his sock monkey.

Or let me submit it for you. Either way . . . :)
