I Dream Of Laundry Room...

Cole and I went to some dream open houses today just for fun.  Oh, and dream houses they were!  One specifically had a dream laundry room, everything I imagine when I dream of a laundry room of my dreams. 

A dream laundry room for me would have....

TONS of light.

Windows...

light colors...

white, white and more white!

Just like the one pictured above.

Oh, and I love that this one has a back door.

I love that it functions as a washroom.

It would also ...

Be quite large...

 I'm thinking the size of a master bedroom (hehe)

And would also contain tons of...

shelving...

...storage...

and more storage.

Oh, and I like that this one has a table...

for folding, sorting and such things.

Love this laundry room, too.

My dream laundry room would also have...

Multiple front load washing machines and dryers.

Totally unnecessary and quite extravagant...

... but this is my dream laundry room after all! :)

What would your dream laundry room (or any room) be like?

8 Months

Caleb is 8 months old.

Caleb...

...we are seeing your bottom two pearly white teeth coming in...

just four days ago you learned how to get up on your hands and knees...

we think you may begin to crawl anytime now!

You are a very happy baby.

You love to jibber jabber and sing, we love to listen.

You love to pat the wood floors with your little hands...

...and bang your toys together to make noise.

You are very social and react strongly to your favorite people (with a giddy smile and some boy noises)

You have a knack for getting underneath the household furniture (the couch and your dresser)

Your favorite toys are your musical cars and green frog.

You are a night owl and love to stay up late hanging out with mama and daddy.

You love to sleep in.

You still love to snuggle, and we hope you always will. :)

You love to eat with a recent favorite being peas.

You are such a joy and we just can't get enough of you!

We love you, our baby boy!

Caleb Face

What...

What do you think...

he is thinking about?

Isn't it fun to wonder! :)

Caleb Today

This is a photo I took of Caleb....today.

Just look at that...
he looks like a little boy (a little )
But don't worry...
he still is and very much looks like a baby!

Today...

Caleb said

"mama"

and

"baba"

and melted my heart.

Today...

Caleb shook a ball...

pounded on his high chair with a spoon...

laughed and giggled at his blue moose...

and then shook him around too.

Today...
Caleb snuggled with Mama
...went night night in Daddy's arms (more than once)
...smiled, laughed and played with hunkle Jordan.
...was so happy to see his Nana.

Today...
Caleb wore a onsie that says...
"Beep Beep"

How I love...

Caleb today.

7 months tomorrow!

Caleb will be 7 months old tomorrow!

He is my sweet boy.

He is SO sweet.

Caleb is showing love more and more each day.

His eyes look so intently, and his smiles are so meaningful.

He is really displaying his emotions and love.

To show love to others, he loves to touch their face...

...look into their eyes.

And gurgle with sweet delight in a way that could only mean "I love you..."

He really is so sweet.

At 7 months Caleb has tried the following foods...

sweet potato (loves)

squash (sorta likes)

avocado (loves)

bananas "nanners" (loves-loves)

Caleb loves to eat and really does so well!

Oh, and so far NO food allergies...praise God!

Still nurses on cue, so I have no idea exactly how often he eats or drinks for that matter.

During the day-probably every 2-3 hours?

Night-every 2-5 hours :)

Caleb is playing independently more and more,

he loves to explore and use his imagination (I think so anyways ; ) )

Caleb loves music and his favorite artists are Shane and Shane and Lea Michele (Rachel from Glee)

Caleb loves to play peek-a-boo and thinks mommy is the funniest when she makes funny noises

Caleb is such a joy! 

The past 7 months have been more amazing and blessed than I could have ever asked for as his mother. 

Love you, sweet boy!

More Avocado Please...

Daddy set up the big red high chair...

Then Daddy put Caleb in the big red high chair...

(Caleb was pretty hungry and tried to eat the straps)

Mama made some homemade avocado baby food

(it looked much better than it does in this photo...and was actually very runny.

This photo makes it look like avocado chunks :) )

It was decided Daddy would do the honors...

...of feeding Caleb his first bite

Yum!

Caleb loved avocado...

...and wanted more!

and more...

...and more!
