your handsome face: 10 months

My little cuddle monkey. How is it possible that 10 months have passed since you came into my life? You're becoming more and more active and quite the entertainer. <3

10 months

I'm getting pretty good at this posing thing, huh mommy!? :)

RAWR!! Attack of the baby!!

Cheeeeeeese!!

Caleb,
Yes, I think you're quite adorable in your mohawk! Your naturally growing one seems to have disappeared as your hair is growing in and you're getting somewhat of a mullet... I refuse to cut it at this point though. It is way too early for your first hair cut.

You are quite the little crowd pleaser, little guy. People stop me all the time to say how cute you are and you LOVE it, you smile and "talk" for them. It's crazy to me how you were just a little baby a few short months ago and now we are speeding up to your first birthday.

Your first year has been nothing short of amazing and the fun is just beginning. While you haven't taken your first step yet, I'm pretty sure you'll be taking that leap pretty soon. You like to stand on your own and bang on the couch, the bed, the dresser, the tub. The louder the noise, the more fun it is! As much as I want you to learn and be independent, I LOVE that you're still my cuddly, bear hug, loves to give kisses little boy. If I can't keep you small for any longer, at least don't lose that love of love in your heart.

Love you always,
mommy

my baby in... a box!!

Happy Valentine's day lover boy!

your handsome face: month 10

When we were counting 60 days until your birth, I couldn't wait for you to be "out" and in my arms. I knew then that a year later I would be wishing the exact opposite... 

I just didn't know how quickly that year would pass.

9 months

Baby boy,

Look at that serious face! The week to follow these photos was a rough one for you and me. You had your first really bad cough followed by a stomach bug that you shared with me... We are troopers though and I'm sure you loved the time home with me as much as I did with you! We played together, folded laundry together, napped together, watched bubble guppies all day together :) You are a little shadow and want to be doing everything we are doing. If I'm cooking dinner, I give you a toy to play with, but you'd much rather play with the pans... If I'm eating cereal, you're all about what's in my bowl rather than what's on your tray. If I'm hanging up your clothes, you don't want to play with your walker, you'd rather play with a hanger. You are seriously sweet and cuddly which I LOVE and hope you stay that way... at least a little bit. You won't clap your hands yet (but you do do this tomahawk chop thing which *I think* is you trying!) or wave bye bye on a consistent basis... but kisses, you LOVE to share! You were a rockstar at your Drs appointment and flirted with your new Dr like a ham. I bet you think you got lucky because you didn't get shots! But we're going to have to go back for those because of your fever. I'm happy we're feeling better, but not looking forward to that.
Here's to another amazing month!

<3 love, mama

You are 9 months old?! I can't even believe it.

Merry Christmas, Love Frost "C"

I really wanted to jump on the Pinterest bandwagon this year and get a really cute shot of my 8 month old and some Christmas lights in his diaper only. I went to Target and got some oversized colorful Christmas lights and spread them around the floor for my son to play with while I snapped away. Where do you think those lights went? Straight in his mouth!! Needless to say, I was not thrilled and I was terrified of something breaking or shorting out... Not fun. So my husband and I had to come up with something else. This was so simple and much more relaxing to capture! The hat we borrowed from a friend (but I did see some at Target after we took the pictures), the scarf is just one of mine, and the shirt is just a onesie with felt circles. How easy is that? And yes. That is a real carrot... Which he dislikes eating as a puree, but was loving on the solid form. Merry Christmas!!

 

Enjoy the out takes! :)

8 months

omgggg I'm 8 months old and have no teeeeeeeth!!

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a picture of this mobile child!?

put me in coach :)

Sweet boy,

Every morning when I go into your room to get you I say good morning, pick you up and give you a kiss and tell you I love you. A few weeks ago, I went into your room, said "good morning, booboo" picked you up... But before I could give you a kiss, you grabbed my face with both hands and laid one on me! I nearly cried. You are really becoming your own sweet little person. You give the best possible greetings! Another day when I picked you up from Miss Natalie's, she lifted you off the ground to hand you to me, and your feet were 'running' so fast like you couldn't wait to get to me. You are such a friendly baby and love talking with anyone and everyone. It still amazes me how much you are absorbing of this great world around you.

You got your first "booboo" this month. You can kind of see it in the picture under your eye. It's not too bad, but I have no idea how you got that. You went to sleep pristine, had an uneventful night, and woke up with the scratch under your eye... just in time for your photos :( You're still the most handsome guy I know though.

Love you always <3

your handsome face: month 8

Last year at this time, I was thankful for the little bean growing in my belly. This year, I am incredibly thankful for incredible little boy I've been blessed with! Look at all those smiles!

Caleb,

I know what they mean about not rushing you to grow up. And I wish every day that the world would stop begging you to do so! Stay young and adorable and carefree (and dependent on your mommy) for as long as you want. I know the time is coming soon (too soon) that we will be chasing you around the house, feeding you everything on the table that we eat and listening to you actually tell us what you want... But for just a while longer, it's okay for you to be my baby. I love watching you wiggle across the room, taste test a new food, and I know your little mind is working to memorize every object you come into contact with as you turn things over in your hands and gum on them ;) You will do things at your own pace, which is just fine with me, my toothless little man. It's okay for us to slow down and enjoy each and every new taste and touch and word together.

I love you always,
mommy
