1 year old and wiser too!


This Boy had a birthday and he is officially 1 year old! This year flew by and I cant believe how much he has grown and all the personality this little man has. He is very serious and hard to make smile but when he does he lights up the whole room. He makes me smile and is into everything. he knows it too!
Here's the new skills I noticed this month:
  • tries to walk with one hand held but is struggling to keep balance
  • Sits down from standing position without help
  • He attempts to build two block tower when mommy starts it.
  • Turns pages in a book mostly just to close the book
  • Follows rapidly moving objects
  • Says “mama” and “dada” and he repeats "hi"
  • Comprehends the meaning of several words especially no and his name
  • Repeats the same words over & over again
  • Recognizes objects by name
  • Understands simple verbal commands and loves to ignore them
  • Shows affection by giving us kisses all the time
  • Shows independence in familiar surrounding and usually even in unfamiliar settings
  • Clings to parents in strange situation sometimes
  • Searches for object where it was last seen especially a paci



He also got a new schedule the day he turned 1 and I have to tell you he was soooo much happier.

7:30 wake up and have breakfast instead of a bottle and then a cup of milk
10:30 snack time
12:30 Lunch and a bottle of milk
1:00 Naptime
4:00 Snack time
6:00 Dinner and milk
7:00 bath time
7:30 Bottle and bedtime

Caleb's Construction 1st Birthday




CALEB TURNED ONE!!!!
 I cannot believe this boy is going to be one so to celebrate his big milestone we threw him a construction party! We are so grateful for all the friends and family that came out to celebrate our handsome little man's big day.












Some of the party Details:
 
We got each one of the kids a construction hate to wear
 
Construction cone ring toss 








Pop the balloon with your bum ...each of the balloons had a piece of paper in it 1 with WINNER and all the rest said all you found was a lousy rock! 

Wrecking ball game. just a bunch of boxes wrapped up and the ball has a center of beans to make it weight.
 
His signature birthday plate

I made his cake but Anthony did an awesome job of destroying it 
with the trucks
 


I'm so glad caleb actually tried to participate in opening gifts:




Smash Cake:
As you can see from his face he was less than thrilled to see that cake! and he was not willing to eat it :(

Happy birthday little man you have truly made our lives so full!

Letter of the week Field Trip - F is for Fire Truck

F is for Fire Station! I contacted our local fire station and asked about a tour. They were more than happy to take our cute little bunch of preschoolers all around the fire station.
