Hello!
We hope everyone is doing well out there! Things are going well for us. We're all just keeping busy and Caleb is still growing strong. Here's a little video of Caleb and Johnny just messing around on the computer.
Love you all,
JJC
You found us! That means you are either family or a friend and this blog is for you! We keep pretty busy, so we thought we would create a space where family and friends can come check in on us to see what we've been up to. We realize that we don't get to see many of you near enough; this will serve to help us to stay in touch at least a little, but hopefully not as a substitute for never actually seeing you! We may or may not update this as regularly or irregularly as we possibly can. Enjoy!

Quick update...
Hello all! Just thought we'd upload a fairly recent picture for you. Caleb will be 8 months old next week. He's definitely on the move! We'll catch up with you more later, but for now, enjoy the pic.
Love ya,

Where did he go?
That's what Joye and I find ourselves saying a lot lately. As you can see in this grainy video, Caleb is startin' to make his way around quite easily.
Hope you are all doing well.
Love you all!

So close...
Hello!
It's been a while since we've updated you on our lives - sorry about that. Things have been going very well for the Hampton's. Caleb got over his bad cold and ear infection and is still growing fast. He had his 6 month shots a week and a half ago. He measured in at 29 inches long and the Doctor said he is "off the charts" for his length right now. We are so thankful for a healthy little boy who likes to eat!
Speaking of eating, he's chowin' on "solids" now. They call 'em solids, but it's more like he's eating smoothies - fruit and vegetable smoothies.:) He's eaten everything we've presented him with so far except for green beans. He makes the most hilarious, innocent "that's-disgusting-face" whenever he takes a bite of them. We'll work on that, and hopefully he'll get around to 'eating his greens.'
The most fun part about the parenthood for us right now is watching Caleb almost crawl. He gets up on his knees and hands, and just starts rocking. It's as if in his mind he is moving, but his body isn't - just rocking. He pulls himself around and if it's too far to pull himself, he just rolls to whatever it is he's after.
We've been working on "mamamamama" and "dadadadada" with him. It is so cool to see the concentration at such an early age. He moves his mouth as if he's trying to sound out the word. We are convinced that when Joye walked into the room tonight he said "mama!" He's never made that sound out of his mouth before and he makes the motions with his mouth all the time when he sees Joye, but this time there was actually noise with it. We know it was probably just a random noise, but we're claiming that as his first word - at least Joye is!:)
Well, here are some pictures for you to enjoy. We hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for stopping by to check in on us. We think about those we don't get to see often!
Love you all,
JJC
P.S. Go Packers!!!
Bath time!
He's become fond of the little froggy.

Happy New Year!
We hope you all had a great Christmas and had fun welcoming in the new year! We enjoyed the time we got to spend with family and friends over the last few weeks. It was great to see everyone again!
We are all doing well. Although, Caleb is getting over his first "real" bout with sickness. It was a rough week, but we can't complain a whole bunch.:) Things are slowly becoming normal (whatever that is!) again.
As I type this, the wind is howling outside and there are three trash cans racing down our street...I think the one with wheels is going to win.;)
Well, here are some pictures of the little man. Thanks for stopping by!
Love ya,
JJC
Caleb's not sure...and neither is Santa by the looks of it!
Stocking stuffer.
Ooooh, this is some nice paper!
Whew...that was a long day!
Sick boy.
Happy boy!
