A little more about our Caeleb.

I am stuck in the hospital again with a little pregnancy complication. Don't worry, everything is fine. Baby is doing well and I am getting used to the roller coaster ride these months have been but I will be 30 weeks on Monday and we have been very blessed. I am sure they will let me go tommorrow. My doctors are the best and take very good care of me and the little one.

Anyways, I was wondering what I could do with my time here and I was thinking that working on my blog would be a great way to be productive. I used to be a daily journal writer but I have slacked on that since getting married and especially since having a little one around who takes up most every waking moment of my day (which I don't mind at all). I have started a family journal on the computer but I could do alot better to record our memories and thoughts.

What to write about. Hmmmm. Well, how about I tell you a little more about Caeleb.

As I mentioned in a previous post, he just turned 2 years old on September 14. He is such an outgoing little boy and so darn cute. He has a laugh and smile that are very contagious! He loves to laugh too. Alot of times, he will take Chris' or Nathan's (my brother) or my finger and drag one of us off the couch because he wants to play tag or horsey ride or cars/trains or have a bath (he used to be pertrified of water but now he likes his bath time). He says, "outside" alot because he is always wanting to go outside. This summer we took many walks around the block and to the park beside our place and he always needed a rock in both hands. He is a huge rock fan.  He likes to pick them up, hold them, throw them. He loves to run and I have to admit, it can be hard to keep up to him even if he is just a little guy.

About a month ago, his Aunty Camellia had Sterling (Caeleb's cousin) and Caeleb listen to a phonics ABC song on Youtube and he has been stuck on the Alphabet ever since. He loves the different Alphabet songs. He loves to sing to them and to say "A is for apple, B is for ball, C is for cat, D is for Gog (he can't quite get the D sound for that word)...etc with his cute little toddler accent.

Animals are a favourite now. It used to be cars but I must say, animals have been bumped up to first place in Caeleb's mind. He loves to watch or read anything that has animals in it. Farm animals, zoo animals, any animal. He is practicing saying the names. And he knows the animal sounds as well. Horses, cats, gogs (dogs), ele (elephant), zeba (zebra), monkey are amoung his favourites. He has been to the zoo 4 times already and he can't get enough of animals.

About a month ago, he took to singing. I think nursery has taught him well. He loves to go to nursery and has never had much of a problem being left there. He loves to sing along to I Am A Child of God and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I think he may be quite the singer when he gets older. If anything, I think he may stay quite a bold and outgoing person. Though Caeleb, when you read this, know that I do hope you don't become a flirt with the girls. Don't be a ladies man! Stay focused in life. Look to your Dad for an example! He is a good man.

Caeleb is getting to know his colours. His babysitter has been teaching him and we have been doing a little reviewing as well. When we dropped him off the other day at his babysitter's house, he pointed out that the plastic pumpkins they had up for decoration were purple, blue, pink, orange. And they were! Wow, I am not pressuring Caeleb into learning anything but he is a smart little guy and he wants to learn. You can see that in him. I love how children love to learn.

Caeleb has been such a good trouper during the last month. Every day of the week, excluding weekends, he has to go to someone else's house because I am not aloud to take care of him right now during this pregnancy. I am on restricted activites. He has been going to his babysitter's house (she took care of him while I was working), to his 2nd cousins' house and to some friends in our ward. They have all commented on how good he is! He adapts so well and has such a positive little attitude. He loves being around other children too.

Anyways,  I could go on forever about my little boy. He is such a joy in our home and we love him so much!
