10 months old

Caleb is already 10 months old?! He spent the last month getting really strong... gearing up to walk more than just a few steps at a time. Not afraid of falling, Caleb often tries to get up and walk although he is not always very steady. Sometimes Caleb reminds us of a little bull because he "tackles" us all the time - and at other times he is like a little monkey, climbing all over us and the couch. Either way, he is definitely a little boy!! We watch Little Einsteins every morning together - Caleb bounces up and down when he hears the theme song and participates in the "blast off" with the characters. Caleb mimics clapping, snapping and waving and is continuing to show interest in all things electronic - especially ripping keys off mom or dad's laptop. Looking forward to his first birthday!!

"Let go, grandma! I want that cake!"

Here you can kinda see Caleb's little bottom teeth...

...and the tooth buds trying to break out on Caleb's top gum!
Silly Caleb and his slow-growing teeth!

The Hamblys visit the beach -
While we live 20 minutes away from the coast, we haven't been to the beach in a long time, so off we went! The mornings are always grey here at this time of year, so all we did was go for a little walk together and watch the waves.
Caleb thought the sand was pretty neat to touch and crawl along.

Mommy's little helper - Caleb taking out the folded laundry!

Happiest when practicing his motoring!

On a lazy Saturday afternoon at home.....

...Dad installed a new gate to keep Caleb on the main floor (we've been chasing him upstairs long enough - mom hurt her back this week!).


...Caleb kept sticking his tongue out (hooray! The tip of Caleb's first tooth finally made its appearance yesterday!!)


...Caleb goofed around with everything in his path!


...and kept showing off his newest face - the "fish face".


"Now what can I get into?"


"I'm coming to get that toy!"


"I wish I was outside..."


Watch out!
