Kaleb's first trip to DISNEYLAND!

This past Tuesday, Erica, a friend from church invited us to go to Disneyland with her, her kids and another friend (She can sign people in!)

I was so excited! Kaleb's first trip to Disneyland!

Erica picked us up and we met Denise and her little boy at the park.
We arrive. He is trilling with anticipation.

Our very first ride was SMALL WORLD. It seemed fitting as that was my favorite when I was little (and that the one all the kids wanted to go on)

*insert dark small world video of Kaleb when I have time... so probably never*

He was happy and excited to look around



Its so wonderful hanging out with moms. I usually hang out with... well... no one. Blake or my Dad mostly.

But hanging out with other moms is awesome! You get to take breaks and have snacks and change diapers and move slow and no one gets upset or frustrated with you.

Plus, Erica and Denise are super cool ladies in their own right.




All in all, the trip was aces.

(as was our second! this may be a weekly outing. I'm excited. :D)

Kaleb is 8 months old

He is growing faster than I can track it!



He is super busy too...
  • In one month he went from rolling around, to army crawl to full on baby crawl.
  • He calls for me (nanannana)... that may also mean "feed me"
  • He call for Blake (dadadada)... that may also mean "play!"
  • He can clap his hands, but only when he decides. You can't really make him start.
  • He pulling himself up. We even had to lower the crib because I was afraid he was going to topple out!
  • Hes trying bits of food from Mommy and Daddy's plates. Its a hit or miss.
  • At Grandma and Grandpa Green's house, we learned that he loves to gnaw on chicken bones (striped clean first, of course)
  • He learned the baby sign for Milk, but he only does it while hes eating and wont do it to ask for milk.
  • He has NO teeth. Zero. But I can totally see the bottom two just below the surface of his gums. They're ready.
  • We're still facinated by him. Many nights, when Blake comes home from work, we'll all pile on the bed and watch him climb, clap and yell 
Though I sometimes miss my little ball of squishy, and sometimes look forward to having conversations with my son, I am COMPLETELY enjoying the stage we're in now. My little crawler, yeller, cuddly big baby boy.
