Caleb turns 2!!

I'm super bummed because I wrote this lovely blog post already all about Caleb...and then stupid blogger didn't save it!! What the heck?? Hopefully I won't forget anything important as I try to write this again.


So, Caleb, you turned 2!!!! We can hardly believe you've been lighting up our lives for two whole years. You are such a perfect addition to our family. You are always happy and sweet and energetic, and whenever you say "Dank you Mommy!" my heart just melts into a hopeless puddle on the floor.



Favorite foods: Cheese, case-da-dias (quesadillas), candy, most fruit, pizza, pancakes, cinnamon toast, cereal (especially plain rice crispies and raisin bran...?????), donuts, and Gogurt



Least favorite foods: most vegetables


Favorite letter: W!!!!!! X and Z are also popular, but they don't hold a candle to the letter w. You point out every w you see, and always ask us to "draw a w!" when you are coloring.



Favorite activities: playing with your train set, to "run so fast!!", go outside, swim, to count, throw balls, being chased and tickled around the house, play and sing at the piano, read and tell stories, dance, pointing out letters, numbers, airplanes, and hello-copters, taking a bath, plugging in things when Mommy isn't looking (!!!), watching the garbage truck, coloring, doing "jumping jacks," watching the introduction songs on kids' shows, playing with bubbles, putting your socks on your hands and saying "sock hands!", and just being plain adorable.



Least favorite activity: sleeping


Favorite songs: I'm so glad when Daddy comes home, Baby Mine, Let it Snow, Jingle Bells, Away in a Manger, Oh Suzanna, Clementine, most nursery rhymes, and I am a Child of God



Favorite books: Dr. Seuss's ABC book; Trucks Go; The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear; The Foot Book



Funniest things you've said since you've learned to talk:

Me: "I love you Caleb!"
Caleb: "I love you too three four five"

Upon seeing his mother undress to go shower: "Mommy big naked!"

"I love you big!" (heart melt)

Alligator (elevator)
Uncle bar (granola bar)
Casset-ball (basketball)
Nummy-lade (lemonade)
Hop-hopper (grasshopper)
Goggies (doggies)


For your birthday we had a combined birthday with Daddy. It was Daddy's golden birthday, so to please both crowds we did a gold-looting' pirate themed party. Sadly, you got stinking croup on your birthday so we had to postpone the party, but you still got to play with your cousins after all, for which we were very happy!

Treasure chest cake (the lid was a rice crispy treat)

Pin the patch on the pirate


It's hard to take a good picture of so many littles!


We had a coloring station, played "pass the cannonball" (hot potato) and  "pin the patch on the pirate." Pizza, cake, and ice cream was the food fare and everyone seemed to have a great time!



Happy birthday Caleb Owen! We love you dearly!!!!
