21 months

...13 days late...  It's been hectic lately. Work has been super stressful. How many days til summer?

Highlights of his 20th month... Caleb is babbling all the time.  I can't always tell exactly what he is saying but can figure out the gist because he'll throw in a few recognizable words and gestures to fill me in!

He was quite spoiled at Christmas this year.  Ironically, his favorite part about it was sitting on the floor ripping papers.  I couldn't believe how much his aunts & uncles got for him: toys, toys, toys!

We had a NYE party at our house and he loved having his cousins come over to play puzzles and throw balls with him.

Winter break was great; I loved enjoying so much time with just me & Caleb.  We kept very busy playing, visiting friends and organizing the house.  Caleb is a good helper.
