Sesame Street Live

Cheryl has wanted to take the kids to see Sesame St Live for quite a while. My only reservation was that we would have had to go to Cincinnati, Columbus or Indianapolis. Well, finally they came to Dayton. So we bought some tickets and headed out for an evening filled with toddlers and dancing animals. I kind of thought that it would be somewhat torturous but it was really a great time. Caleb was mesmerized by everything going on and Abigail kept giggling and repeating different words and phrases back to us. At intermission they brought out the guy with the Elmo balloons. We knew that they would be overpriced but when Cheryl went down to get one she was in shock at the ten dollar price tag that she just handed him the money without even thinking about it. We'll have to try that at our next garage sale, overprice the merchandise so much that people are in shock and just hand over the cash.

Scott took the kids to Home Depot. View Caleb's reaction to the power tools... Scott was so proud!

More Boonshoft

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Boonshoft Trip

These are some pics of one of our Boonshoft trips. We tried to see one of the planetarium shows with Abigail and Caleb and it did not last very long. We were surprised that they lasted that long in the dark.





I think we were looking at the ducks or turtles in the animal exhibit.



Mommy and her little man.







Do you think Cheryl will be smiling when they actually start driving?



But, I want that!


Daddy and Abigail climbing the net. It goes up three stories I think.

Funny, Funny, Funny!

Today I was reading Abigail and Caleb a book about different animals and I was imitating the sounds that they make. When I got to the elephant (which is in my opinion the hardest animal sound to make) Caleb was trying to make the sound and even rearing his head back just like dad was. I will try and get him on camera or video doing it again but it seems just like his sister when any recording device comes out he just stares at it like a deer in the headlights.

Cox

I (Cheryl) took Abigail and Caleb to Cox for some pictures, I think they turned out pretty good!! Follow the link :)

You will NEVER believe who Mom and Dad let feed me!
My sister!
Can you see "hoo" is looking at you???? He was in our tree :)

We had this concrete pad poured, Scott put in the retaining wall you see to the left, and he has begun siding the garage...makes it look like a completely different place, doesn't it?
Walking about...

What a cute smile!
I have a book! Caleb loves books just as much as his sister did, now that he sees they are for more than just chewing. He will waddle over a book to you and say "boo" (book without the K sound...)

I know it has been way to long since we have posted! Caleb has started walking and is even talking a bit (dog, dada, mama, all done, ball) and Abigail is doing a great job talking herself. Caleb just turned 1 on June 6th and I will post pictures of his birthday in a bit. Most of these pictures are from a trip we took to Cox. Above and below you will see Caleb and Abigail on the butterfly seat there.




Daddy found a frog and Abigail was so excited to hold it. She kept saying "more frog"
This is a picture of Caleb's new toy for his birthday, as you can see Abigail likes it a bit too!

We went to the park today! We had lots of fun. Caleb turned 9 months old yesterday!

Big news! Caleb officially crawled for the first time tonight. He started sitting up by himself at the beginning of January (I think he would have in December had I not been afraid of him falling over and bumping his head on the wooden floor!) and for the last two weeks he has been doing somewhat of a swimming crawl/commando crawl. This past week he has been getting up on his hands and knees and rocking. Sure enough, tonight he took his first few crawling "steps" He is growing up soooo fast! He just turned 8 months old on Feb 6. I will try to post some pictures soon.

It has been quite awhile! We have bunches of photos to post to catch up, but here are some more recent pictures until then. Caleb starting sitting up like a pro the beginning of January and I think he could be well on his way to crawling by next month! Abigail is saying a bunch of words, we are waiting for the sentences to start! She is very good with colors and knows quite a few of her letters including A,B,C,E,I,L,M,O,P,R,S,T,W,Y...
