Non-Official Stats:
-Basically 18 month everything. But that cardigan he's wearing in the top picture? Austin was wearing it and took it off. I put it on Caleb and rolled the sleeves and it really didn't look too big. Size 3 diapers, but probably would fit fine in size 4. Four teeth, two top, two bottom.
Things to remember:
-Barely starting to stand without support, will pull himself up on the coffee table and let go of it for two seconds, then grab back on and grin a huge grin. Sometimes he'll even lift his hands above his head like "look mom! no hands!".
-Starting to cruise around furniture.
-Favorite activity? Sneak into the bathroom and pull off all the toilet paper and/or stick his hands into the toilet to play. Ugh. (The latter is made exponentially worse by the fact that Lydia frequently forgets to flush. That's all I'm going to say, but, uuuuuuuuughhhhhhhh.)
-His favorite food is EASILY bananas. He whines and whines until you go get one for him, and as soon as he sees it he starts twisting his hands and feet, sticking them straight out into the air, until you give it to him. He's even started saying nana-nana-nana.
-He's very independent and crawls all over, pulling things out of the tupperware drawer, putting things into the towel drawer, and even climbing into the appliance cupboard.
-The weather is warming up and we're starting to get out more, which we have all been loving!
-He's such a smartie. He likes to pull the silverware out of the dishwasher as we are loading the dishes, so one night David tipped a chair over sideways to block him from the dishwasher. He stood there squawking for like 2.5 seconds then immediately dropped to the ground and crawled around the entire island and started getting into the dishes from the other side. (I feel like putting a chair to block things worked for a longer time period with our other kids!)
-As soon as David gets home from work, (even just when we hear the garage door open), Caleb sits straight up and makes a beeline for him/the door. He crawls right up on to his shoes and grabs onto his pants until David picks him up, then he gives him the best hugs! It's darling to see how much he loves his daddy.
-He's becoming much more of a picky eater. He used to eat basically anything, and a lot of it (which was the hard part). But now he's started turning his nose up, literally, at most of the food that I try to give him. If I try to give him something that he doesn't want... like cottage cheese... he tips his head up and turns it to the side and squawks a noise that sounds remarkably like No -"Nah-NAH", until I give him something that he wants. He's basically living off of spaghetti (with red sauce, but not white sauce), frozen green peas (that have been run under warm water), and bananas. I'm determined to not raise picky eaters by not giving into their demands, but jeez, he's very demanding! (If I try to give him a strawberry, he acts offended but takes it from me, and immediately throws it as hard as he can toward the ground.)
-He crawls easily up the stairs and has even learned how to carefully go down stairs, too.
-Falls asleep at 7 pm, and sleeps until about 6:30 (then I nurse him in the chair until about seven). Naps at 9ish, and 2ish. Sleeping babies are the best!
