This past month Caleb learned to remain sitting up on his own after we place him on the floor. He really likes sitting up versus tummy time and is able to play with his toys for a little longer than before. He is able to move from the sitting position to his tummy, but sometimes a leg prevents him from getting there on the first try. It is only a matter of time before he starts crawling and Aimee is already placing safety devices around the house. As you can see from videos posted this month he is very active in the cart that circles the play station in the center and I hope this will be a segway for him when it comes to crawling/walking.

He is also seen making a new face and watching his cousin Shelby play with a Lincoln Log set. This guy cracks me up!

Watching this video makes me laugh, because it catches Caleb making a funny face in which he wrinkles his nose and squints his eyes. He also breathes heavily from his nose. Near the end Miles lets go of the cart and Caleb takes off to show him what he learned! Miles loses his balance and crawls to catch up to his cousin. We could make a movie watching these two hang out together... They're very humorous.

Not captured on camera Miles was trying to play with the toys on the hub of this object while Caleb was circling the hub causing Miles to move around quickly to avoid being run over.

Sorry for the delay

Bath time! Caleb's cousin Miles joins us last Friday for a test drive of the new ducky bath. They had fun and Caleb really enjoyed his company.

Caleb has learned to sit up on his own and discovered he could make a noise when he dropped his wooden block on the floor. He thinks he is so funny!

Recorded tonight just before his bedtime, Caleb gets a second wind and decides to go for a jog. By the time Aimee grabbed the camera and shot this he had been running laps for 5 minutes or so. I hope his legs are getting nice and strong for all the crawling he will be doing a few months from now.

Aubrey, Aimee, and Caleb enjoyed some time in the snow. The girls made the snow lady and I brought Caleb outside to snap a few pics. Enjoy!

]]>Mailbox seasonhttp://www.meddersnation.com/blog/2010/2/9/mailbox-season.htmlAndy Medders2010-02-09T21:38:22ZGeneral Pictures Snow Winter carsWell it seems the time in the year has come where people are out hunting mailboxes. We had a nice snow fall over night and while on my way to work I found three mailboxes I wanted to kill and claim as mine. My truck hit a slight bump and shot me off like a sniper's bullet heading dead on for the mailboxes. All I could do was hold on and enjoy the ride... Boom! It was over almost as soon as it started, although it felt like an eternity as I watched the mailboxes fall one by one. My brother in-law, Tim came to the rescue and after an hour I was out. My truck is drivable, but it is not something that should be on the road full time, and is going to have to get fixed. I tried to take it to the shop a few minutes ago, but the tires just can't get a grip and I only made it a few feet out of the driveway before crawling back.

The damage looks very similar to the last time my truck decided to slam into something less forgiving than air (see below). This is from an accident in San Antonio, TX a few years ago that totalled $5,500 in damage.

We even got our niece Aubrey to show us her football spirit and who could forget about Caleb who looks as if he was dressed to coach on the sidelines.

He is getting so big and learning new things everyday. He is using more consonants when he 'talks' and tries to grab everything in sight. He rolls all around the floor and scoots to grab his toys. He will soon be sitting up on his own! He eats baby food and cereal 3 times a day with his favorite being carrots. He is a very joyful baby and such a joy to be around.
