Happy 1st Birthday Caleb!

Getting ready for his birthday pancake.

We have a clapper!

Caleb's new favorite thing is to clap! Just the other day he decided to put it all together and now can't get enough of it! Everytime we say "YAY!", he will drop whatever he is holding and start clapping!
Big Boy!

Caleb's 1st Thanksgiving

So, this year we have so much to be thankful for.  Our families, our health and the fact that Sean and I both have a fair amt of job security.
But mostly, we are thankful for Caleb. Our precious baby.  Here are a few pics of him enjoying his 1st Thanksgiving Dinner (his favorite thugs were the brussel sprouts!) and some pre-dinner hijinx.

Getting ready for Christmas

Ah, Christmas with a 1 yr old is going to be interesting. Take a look at our tree. :)
Also sharing a pic of Caleb and Sean putting the first ornament on the tree

And the Celebrations Begin...

Caleb is turning 1 in exactly 2 weeks. i can't believe a year has already gone by, since we were blessed with our little bundle of joy! Time really does fly when you have children.
I headed to Raleigh for a girl's night, as one of my besties was in town from HK. My sister and the kids also happened to be in Durham as well, so they kindly took Caleb for the day/night to give Sean some time to himself and so that the kids could spend some time with him.
We ended up going out and getting his birthday gift on Sunday, since they won't be able to make his party. Needless to say, you can't get a birthdya gift and not have a birthday cake!
Let's just say, Caleb has his cake and ate it too.....
Caleb has a "smashing" good time. :)

Caleb at his GF's 1st Birthday Party

Caleb had a great time at his GF, Elyn's 1st Birthday party. This was his first, and he couldn't stop playing with all of her toys.
