Bucket List #39

As a birthday gift from a good friend, Ricas and I attended the Titans vs. Texans football game. It was a perfect day for football- chilly, but not freezing! The amazing part about this day was that we were seated 3 rows from the field. It was absolutely amazing to be so close to the field and see the game up close & personal (although I must admit I spent more time gawking at the lenses of the photographers)! At any rate, the day was great fun and a good way to start our Winter Break. I would also agree that it was a great date with just the hubby- after the game we had a late lunch at the Catfish house and did some window shopping.

Kiss* Kiss*

Caileb is doing so much new stuff these days! Just this evening I asked him for night night kisses and he give me a big 'ol "yuck" (our term for open mouth kisses) on the lips. When I asked for a kiss on the check he took both of his hands and started pinching my cheeks!? Not sure where he got this, but I love it!

Some of his new favorites (and mine) are....

WORDS:
"Cruck" truck... he often says "oooh big cruck!"

"Cuck" stuck... we are preparing to move and put him in his high chair to get a few things done, after a few minutes he started yelling "i cuck, i cuck!"

"Mine." = EVERYTHING he touches

"No!" His response to EVERYTHING, even when we don't ask him a question. The funny (really not so funny)thing about him telling people no is that he says it with such an attitude and can make you feel bad for proposing whatever it was that you asked.

SONGS:
"Old MacDonald" He loves to sing EIEIOoooooooooooo
"The Wheels on the Bus" I will have to upload a video tomorrow, I can't explain how cute it is!
"The Itsy Bitsy Spider"

In general he loves music, we were watching the Michael Jackson tributes and he just danced his heart out, even tried to mimic a few MJ moves- I tried to get it on camera, but he would stop every time the camera came into view. This is the best I was able to get...

Shame on me

It has been WAY too long since I've updated my personal blog! I promise that I will do better ;) It is my goal that I will "back-post" our life for the past year, but here is a post just about Caileb and what he is doing now!


Caileb is 15 months old
He is developping such a personality! He loves to laugh and make us laugh, he does this funny walk where he keeps his legs straight and tries to run! He is so smart and learning so much. We started counting to 3 as a means of a warning for him to stop doing something, but now when we say "1" he says "2" (in a "twooooooooooo" type of way, as he increases in octives). In terms of what he is saying: he says "a nana" for Banana (and for Nonna); he says doggie and wil bark "woof-woof," he roars like a lion, he will say airplane and make a vooooshhh kinda noise while soaring his hand through the air; all food is "cacka" (cracker); he signs "eat" as "more" (look up the signs to see what I mean. He says "boo-boo" (when he's pooped) and so much more. This time in Caileb's life is so exciting and amazing.

Here is Caileb after church in his new clothes, he did his "special" walk most of the day, as if he didn't want to get his new shoes dirty!!!
