The adventures of Caleb, Caris, Chloe & Family
Caleb went to see Veggie Tales: The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything this past Tuesday at the Monrovia Krikorian. It was his first time watching a whole movie… and his first time in a movie theater. Sorry no pictures of Caleb, but this a milestone to be remembered in our blog. At least Chris took a picture of the movie screen (see below).
Caleb did better than we had expected. He watched the whole movie.
Caleb’s been taking a soccer class since mid-July. One more Saturday class left. He’s the youngest in this mommy/daddy & me class.
Caleb & Caris really do like each other. It’s pretty cute to see. Caleb gets very concerned if he thinks I might be forgetting “mei-mei†(little sister in Mandarin) in the car. Caris always flashes a big grin when she sees “ge-ge†(big brother).
(Notice the kitchen stool Caleb used to find his way into Caris’ play yard)
They’re even starting to sleep the same way at the same time. Mind you, they’re in different rooms. Strange.
Caleb still does get jealous that Caris does certain things he doesn’t get to do. And, he’s not so happy that Caris is now taking his toys and exploring them with her mouth. His favorite phrase with her now is, “Sister, no… Stop! Mei-mei, no, stop. Mine. Caleb’s.â€
Caris is getting at least 2 more teeth right now. The bottom lateral incisors are right under the gum skin. This now explains why our daughter has become of waterfall of drool. How come our kids get their teeth so early? Caris isn’t even 7 months old yet. (We’ll post pictures of her new teeth when they become more visible.)
At least Caleb is done with his teething for now. 20 pearly whites. So, why is Caleb still Mr. Drooly? We haven’t a clue.
After rice cereal, Caris had avocado.
… and plum… besides many other foods since then.
Not the cleanest eater, but then… even Caleb isn’t always the cleanest eater.
So we’ve been taking Caleb & Caris to Kiddie Kandids at Babies R Us for their major pictures. It just so happened that we got Caleb’s 2 year pictures, and Caris’ 6 month pictures done at the same time. So we have to take pictures with them as well. Color & picture coordinated, here they are.
Happy 31st birthday, Yvonne! Yes, her real name.
A day late, and a dollar short, but it’s still here. Yvonne’s birthday gift was a break from the kiddos. At the day spa of course. I think getting away from the kids might have been enough, but I might as well send her away to something she’ll enjoy as well.
While she was over there, Caleb, Caris & I were scheming things at home. A surprise for when Mommy comes back.
Here’s the setup. Letters.
If you’re interested in watching a 11+ minute video, here it is of me and Caleb finishing up the rest.
(Video coming soon after it finishes uploading. Only 4+ hours. I need FiOS)
Here’s the finished product.
Caleb was having fun with the Rock Band drum set at Chris’ work. Wish we could have gotten better video footage. Caleb’s hilarious when he sings.
Caris is chatting it up. Well, kind of. This video was taken about a month ago… so, she’s more talkative now.
I was driving to a nearby park to take Caleb out to play. I knew Caris was tired. From the driver’s seat, I saw her head slumped forward. I thought she was playing, trying to reach a toy in front of her. Then I stopped at a light, Caris’ head fell back, and I saw that she was asleep. But she’s so big now, she doesn’t fit easily into her head rest/support. We still used it, though, cuz it looks like she’s comfy in it. But once she pulls her head out of it, it’s hard for her to fit her head back into it. Mommy has now removed the head rest so Caris’ head can flop anywhere it wants.
