Weekend Snippits

We really did have a fun weekend, wheeling with Adam and his brother Grant. First we went out to the sand dunes and Egin lake bed. Later we went to Devin's mom's house and the boys took off to explore. It is just that Adam figured he should take a swim in the river with his wheeler. it floated there for two or three hours, then the guys spent the rest of the night draining and fixing it. Good news, his wheeler survived! That is the nutshell version of the weekend.

What Tiggers do Best

2 plus 2 equals

Doesn't that cutie face look like it is up to something? Well--it certainly is! Caleb has now got 2 top teeth! 2 tops and 2 bottoms equals 4 teeth!!

Worth it

It was a year ago that I was recovering from surgery. I guess it is one of those series of events that I won't ever forget. I was thinking today about the agonizing pain, the worry, and the inconvenience that was caused by the positioning of the uterus. (here I am again, just a couple weeks away from the end of the semester...)Not the most fun experience that I have in my memory. There is an echo of an ache in my kidney just thinking about it.

But then I got to thinking (nursing gives me plenty of time to think...) how all that went on a year ago was so worth it! Caleb is worth all of that and then some. In fact, if it came down to it, I would do it again. Caleb's two-tooth smiles and hugs, his curiosity, how quick he learns, the silly comando crawl that he is so good at, his blue eyes (a perfect copy of Devin's), all of it, I wouldn't miss it for anything. I love it all. So so worth it. I am not saying that mommying is easy. It isn't. (teething and no sleep for starters) But worth it-yes most definately.

It wan't supposed to be easy, but it is supposed to be worth it.

This and That

Caleb has figured out how to pucker up his lips. Unfortunately, I have only been able to get one of his kisses on video (above) and it isn't a very good one. He can get the sides of his mouth sucked in and really kiss, but you get the idea. In the process of trying to get the kiss on video i got this other cute moment of Caleb's (below).

I mentioned that Devin got a new toy--a new CD player. As it turns out daddy's favorite new toy is also Caleb's favorite new toy. See how he adjusts the volume then dances. Yes-sir he is one dancin' man! look at him groove

New this week

This has been my week to enjoy new (to me) kitchen stuff. Firstly, I have had my new(ish) dishwasher, all installed and working :) it is way wonderful! Next I got a new table and CHAIRS! I have been wanting chairs! (see above-we were getting set for some friends to come over for a double date...) it is so very nice to have the things that I want for a good price (in this case free--i got super lucky). To add to my happiness Devin is happy with his own 'new' CD player. I don't know why he wanted a new one so badly, but at least he has some cool new thing that makes noise--he likes it anyway.

Caleb's top two teeth are almost in. We went to a well-baby check up this week. Caleb weighed in at 15 lb. 5 oz. and is 26.3 inches tall. he has had his up days and his down days this week, that is just the way it goes. Today however is a happy smiley laughing day for him. That means today is going to be wonderful.

Baby Bears

There are baby bears at Bear World, and since mom and Trudy worked there we got a chance to go see them. (Trudy is here from Logan, it is spring break for them.) Caleb loves anything that is furry, so he was a big fan of the little bears.

We had a fun weekend with Devin's family. Trudy, Anthony, and Tiffany are here from Logan, and it was Rodney's birthday yesterday. It is always fun to get together.

Dishes

My dad surprised us with a visit yesterday. I was glad to see him and have a little time to chat with him, but he picked a bad day to come to dinner because my kitchen looks like this:

Needless to say I wasn't doing much cooking yesterday. Since my kitchen is currently torn to bits (observe how there are no pipes beneath the sink...)dishes had to be done in the bathroom this morning:

One other note: Devin has been bugging me for months to put different songs on the blog. So I finally told him to create his own playlist and I would put it on here for him. So there is no longer a playlist that starts automatically, instead Devin and I each have our own playlist at the bottom of the blog.

Sharing Boy

I just thought that this was so cute, Caleb fist did this last night. I am not sure if he is trying to share or if he just figures his dad wants the cracker, either way it is cute to see Caleb feeding Devin.

Happy Birthday Devin

Today is Devin's Birthday! (March 2)

We have been celebrating all weekend. Devin had been gone all week and i was so happy to have him back that I decided he should have an early birthday. Saturday night we went out to dinner at Devin's favorite restaurante - Chile's. Caleb was lovin' it. He was all giggles the whole time we were at the restaurant. I guess that is Caleb's way to welcome his daddy home and wish him happy birthday!

Below is some Caleb piano cuteness. He loves to pound on the piano, he thinks that it is fascinating or something, and I finally had my camera handy while he was doing it.
