He's Walking!

I was in Mexico last week for a mission trip with our senior high students. I was excited to go, but not excited to miss out on Caleb's first steps. Every time I called home to talk with Joye I asked her if Caleb was walking yet. She kept saying no and selfishly I was glad because I wanted to be there when he took his first steps.

Moments after I got home and we had picked Caleb up from the daycare, we began getting re-acquainted and played on the floor. I stood him up, pointed him toward Joye, and let go. He walked to her taking 6 or 7 steps! It was so incredible. Joye said that was the first time he had done that. It was so special and such a cool homecoming!

Our neighborhood pool opened and we were finally able to go swimming. Caleb loves the water and we weren't surprised that he had no problem in the pool. He loves taking baths and isn't afraid of water. Here are a few pictures of our fun at the pool.

We are celebrating his one year birthday this Saturday. It will be lots of fun with family and friends. We wish our family far away could be here with us too!

Thanks for checking in on us and we hope to see all of you soon.

Love you all,
JJC

That's one way to use a blanket!

That's what 5 days of work in Mexico will do to an arm!

Walking in the pool.

Caleb loves fountains.

Ahhh...all warm and snuggly.

It's a Caleb sized chair! He loves it!
