Six Months Old!

On Thursday, Caleb celebrated his half birthday!  When I was in college, one of my friends shared with me that his mother (now my next-door neighbor at school) celebrated her children's half birthdays.  I have always teased her about it, but have decided that I would like to do this with Caleb.  After all, 6 months old is a big deal!  :)  At his 6 month checkup, Caleb weighed 18 pounds and was 26.5 inches long.  He loves to sit up on the floor and play with his toy.  Everything is going straight to his mouth these days.  He is usually all smiles.  We took down the baby swing last week, because he tries to wiggle out of it.  We now have more space in our living room, but it was kind of sad, he's not a little baby anymore. 

Everyone has asked if they can recieve notification via email when I update the blog.  Well, after consulting my blog specialist Ali, there is now a box at the top of the page where you can subscribe.  Thanks Ali and Happy 30th Birthday tomorrow!!!!

When I was getting my classroom ready, Caleb hung out one afternoon with Miss Elizabeth.  Elizabeth is the daughter of Mrs. Buck, (the teacher I mentioned above).  They are two of the kindest, sweetest, and most helpful people I know.  Here are a couple of pictures that she sent to me from the day.  As you can tell, he loved hanging out with Miss Elizabeth.
