first half of august in pictures.......

here you go, mama. (caleb is very giving.)

i love sitting on my mickey mouse couch while watching mickey mouse clubhouse (he can sit through a whole episode without moving. seriously.)

i like to act like i'm talking on the phone...whether it be with a cell phone or a book!

i really like to undo my pampy....

....and then watch more mickey mouse clubhouse.

daddy and mommy left me with my grandparents so they could go enjoy a bears/chargers game. i'm making them take me next time! but i had a great time with my grandparents. they're the best. it was my first night away from my mama.

they went to the game with my tio israel and tia neddy.

i love my daddy

i love my baba and my couch.

i love my lotion.

i love my mickey mouse plate. i love saying "haw daw" (hot dog) while dancing to mickey mouse clubhouse.

AND i love being upside down. oh yes.

caleb's first birthday party!

we celebrated caleb's first birthday on may 2. we were joined by lots of family and friends.

caleb getting ready for his party. i had fun with his hair, but tamed it down for the party.

appetizers and drinks.

the birthday boy and his daddy.

most of the kids who partied with us.

caleb was dedicated to the Lord at his party. pastor joey and grandpa roger tag-teamed the event. it was very special and primo and i look forward to teaching and raising caleb in the Lord.

caleb's first pinata experience!

all that was left of mickey after 12 kids attacked him.

cousin aaron and mickey.

we had another pinata that the older kids got to attack -- spiderman!

all that was left of spiderman (claire got to finish him off):

oh...there were a couple other body parts left too....

next up: cake! it took caleb a little while to realize what he needed to do with the cake. eventually he got the idea and ate away. my mom made cupcakes and my sister annie decorated them! they looked like they came from a bakery, they did such a good job. i put the animal picks in them. :) we had rosie's make the farm cake and they gave us a free cake just for caleb!

(mickey was making the rounds, making sure he visited everybody)

caleb's cousins enjoyed the cupcakes!

caleb and his great grandparents - grandpa roger and graner!

caleb loved the balloons!

it was a super fun party, but i know that only first birthdays will get this much attention!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, MY SWEET BABY!!
