Fall Favorites

Kaleb is such a fun guy to have around! This fall, as he's gotten beyond the true 'little baby' stage, his personality has just burst out of his little (or really big) body! He is such a trooper as we hardly ever spend a whole day at home. The world is just too exciting; for him and his parents! He loves to be out and about.

Today was particularly hillarious because after a coffee date with daddy, the two of us got in the car to run several errands. From the moment we got in the car till we were at our 2nd stop - he was laughing to himself - almost non stop! I was cracking up. He has really started talking up a storm.
When he's not out in the world running errands or doing activities, he's usually contentedly kicking on the living room floor. He will kick for hours and it's been that way from the very beginning.

Below are random shots of some of our favorite Fall activities.

1 - kaleb as a russian spy - in costco with his dad this weekend for holiday supplies and youth group necessities.
2 - starting solids with mom - yams - a hit! But bananas have taken first place since then.
3 - playing in the beautiful Ginko leaves in November
4 & 5 - learning how to hang out in the hiking backpack - which usually ends up become a 'napping backpack'. He usually smiles; not this time.
6 - He's becoming more mobile - yet not crawling or walking as of now - and he scoots backward which results in me finding him under furtiture now and then!

tis the season

This is another new post with less than new news. Forgive me.
As most of you know, I (Kaleb's mother) am a quite a coffee fan. And although I love the roasts and tastes of many different beans from all over the world...I try not to discriminate...I find myself gravitating to one place - Starbucks - almost solely based on location. And the presence of the drive-thru. Yes, I am now one of 'those' people.

One bright, chilly morning several weeks ago I had the privelage of introducing my sweet innocent son to the excitement of the first day of Red Cups at Starbucks. This day has become one of my favorite milestones of the coming holiday season. Pathetic and commercial - But true. And it seems Kaleb enjoyed his first 'cup' of the Holiday season as much as I did!
