update on the lil bear

(So our picture technology is in a few pieces, as we moved out of our home last week- so no pix but just a quick update)

Cae's cute as ever- he finally sat up by himself last week without using his hands for balance- HOORAY! We went to go cheer some friends on in a half-marathon and he sat on his own in the grass for a while...until he toppled over into the clover;) He loves our friends' exersaucer and kicks his legs and throws up his arms in excitement whenever we put him in it. He's six months old this 18th of July- wow we can't hardly believe we have a six month old. Steve's out to sea, but before he left for a while he sat down with Caleb almost every day last week and taught him (and his mami) the hand motions to favorite songs of his from Camp Reed, a camp he went to as a kid with his two sisters. His, Cae's and mami's favorite is "chocolate chip cookies", which makes Caleb just laugh and laugh. What a blessing Cae is - we're in for a busy summer, but Caleb's been up for everything we have put in his path over the past month that steve was home- from camping for two weeks up in canada on vancouver island (we even saw a bear!) to canoeing with a baby cae in a big ole yolk lifejacket and fishing hat, just like mami's grandpa bill used to wear. We love you all so much...by the way, Caleb has totally found his feet, and finds them quite enjoyable to gnosh on when lacking a teething toy. No teeth yet, but enough drool they might swim on in instead of breaking through;)
