TWO TEETH!!

Hey all! I don't know about you, but I can't believe it is the middle of July! We got to spend our fourth of July weekend at our church's family camp this year. This was the first time we were able to attend this with our church since we've been here and there is no doubt we'll try our best to make this a yearly trip. It was so much fun. I loved it mostly because I got to spend a weekend with my family at an event that I didn't plan or have responsibility at. We enjoyed ourselves hanging out with friends, eating really good food, playing Frisbee golf, making a family camp - family flag (as you can kind of see in the picture), playing games, and just relaxing. Caleb had fun (we think) playing with the other kids there and receiving much attention from people who think "he's just sooooo cute!"

The day we got back from family camp we discovered that Caleb finally had some teeth. They have been coming in for a while now with two little bumps, but they finally cut through and he now has two little teeth on the bottom row. They came in together.

He's walking most places now - what I'm learning is that when he crawls, it's usually to a wall or a couch to pull himself up so he can walk to where ever he is going. It is fun to watch him become more and more confident with his walking skills.

He has expanded his vocabulary by one word. He can now say "light" only it sounds like "ite." He loves to play with the light switch and say "Ooo" when the light goes on and off.

On Monday we had his one year check up and everything looks good. Here are his specs: he weighs 23.5 pounds (61%); his head is 19 inches round (90%); he is 31 inches tall (85%). So, since our last check up at 9 months this is what we know: he's gained a little weight, he's still tall, but slowed down a bit on the chart, and his head is still huge. :) We are so blessed to have a healthy boy.

Well, thanks for stopping by to catch up on us. We're excited for the next few weeks to see many of our family we don't get to see very often!

Peace,

We had some balloons left over from his birthday party and he LOVED them.
