Pants on the ground, pants on the ground.

Our home

New outfit picked out by Aunt Jenni!

Caleb had to get a flu shot this week and when we got back from the doctor he took his pants, diaper and bandaid off within about twenty seconds. Since then he has started to take his pants off all of the time.

He was playing with our little scarecrow, touching his eyes and nose, until I decided to take a picture. 

He has started to laugh when I discipline him, even when I use my sternest Mommy voice. So he will purposefully do things (like bang our lamp into the wall) to get me to discipline him... hopefully this is a phase.

He still loves mopping and sweeping.

Caleb found his nose and thinks it's funny to pick it. I'm surprised he doesn't hurt himself with how far he sticks his finger up his nostril! He has also started climbing all over the couch and perches himself on the armrests and back. I've had to run to catch him a few times.

He can also climb out of his high chair. Time to order some straps for it. 

This week I surprised Allen big time! He has been wanting an iPhone for a long time but has been patiently waiting because he didn't need it. I decided to surprise him with one. I had to change the contact info on our AT&T account to my email and phone number so he wouldn't get updates. I activated a credit card we haven't used in a long time and changed the info to my email and number so he wouldn't see the purchase. 

His iPhone 5 came this week and he loves it! I told him about it and I was at my Primary presidency meeting when it came on Tuesday night, but he played with while I was gone. It is an early Christmas present that I knew he'd be excited for since he's been waiting for so long to get one. 

Wednesday Allen started cub scouts. 

Not sure what this face is... he likes playing with the hundreds of soccer balls we have. He is entertained by trying to stack them on top of one another, even though it never really works.

In true boy fashion, if I stand in front of him while he's watching TV, he will just move his head to see around me, until I stand there long enough and he grunts for me to move out of the way.

This is how he eats apples: bites of chunks and spits them out.

Thursday night my mom came to visit until Saturday night. She was flying through Houston and made it a long layover. She brought with her a new wardrobe for Caleb that Jenni helped her pick out. We had a lot of fun playing with her, especially Caleb!

Here's our first family picture in front of our house. We've been it for a year now!

Maybe Caleb will end up being a planner like Mom. He likes to take my pen and pretend to write in my planner just like I do (he doesn't know how to take the lid off the pen yet).

He figured out how to get Mom's purse over his head.

He just can't get it off!
