....and counting

I realize that I should be keeping up with Caleb's words and what he has learned to say so far. So here are the things that I am sure he is saying accurately.

• He clearly has been saying "mama" and "dada" for about 2 months or so. There is a little game we play in the car, he starts saying (or yelling, we all know he is LOUD) "mamamamamama" over and over again and I start yelling back "caleb, caleb, caleb", then he begins to laugh. Hey, whatever makes your child laugh is worth doing. Besides that, I have gotten use to his loud voice.
• Caleb has also been saying "bubu" for about the same amount of time also. But just within the last week he has started occasionally saying "bice" when he is in Bryce's room or when Bryce walks by.
• "wa tis" is the big one that is said to everything. We have come to the understanding that he must be saying, "what's this?". He points at everything or shows you things and says it.
• "Ba" has taken on the word ball over the last day. I don't know how long and how many MILLIONS of times I have said " ball" to Caleb, thinking that would be an easy one to pick up. But he finally is getting it.
• "ta tu", yes that was thank you! YIPPEEEE! As of only moments ago he handed me a towel I was asking for and he told me "ta tu". Good boy! If this is the only word he says for the next month i will be satisfied....of course I guess we need to work on "please" also.

I think the next word on the list is going to be our neighbors dog's name, Jetta. He points and chases her around on a daily basis.

Fort Worth Water Gardens

This morning Bryce, Caleb and I went to the Fort Worth Water Gardens located in downtown Fort Worth. The pictures don't do it justice to just how incredible the deep water fall is, but they turned out pretty neat. We met up with some family friends of ours and had a great time exploring. I didn't hear a single complaint about the heat!

New Experiences

This was a morning to experience new things. Caleb was going to give the spoon a try with his yogurt. As you will see in this video, he has mastered holding the spoon....maybe just not the function of it. Oh well, I am sure in time he will get it.

Bryce Harris is officially a 2nd GRADER!!!!!

OMG! My sweet little Bryce is now officially a 2nd grader. I am so happy that he is growing into the wonderful, silly, loving young man that he is; but I am also so sad to remember that it wasn't that long ago that I was laughing and chasing him around like I am Caleb now.

I remember when .......

Bryce LOVED little people toys

LOVED watching Thomas the tank engine

LOVED playing trains ALL OVER THE HOUSE

LOVED watching veggie tales

LOVED laughing at simple things

LOVED to kiss with sloppy wet kisses

LOVED sticking his feet on you to make you laugh

and I LOVED his sweet little words that were so jumbled that only I knew what he was saying.

Bryce you are getting so big and so handsome that I dread the day you want a girlfriend, drive a car, and want to go to the movies with your friends instead of me.

You are my sweetpea and will always be my baby.
