First Word and First Steps!!!

Caleb decided last week he was going to say his first word! And I am excited-as a teacher and an avid reader-that it was BOOK! He is really funny now-he will go get one from the floor and say "book, book, buh-oo-k" Although the last few days it sounds like he's saying booger. Oh well-it is quite comical!

And last Saturday he decided to be extra brave and take some steps! We were so excited because all four of the grandparents (and Aunt Val) were there to witness the event. It was even more exciting since the Aggie game was proving to be pretty disappointing. We must have been too excited b/c I didn't take any video. But here are a few from Sunday afternoon-the are pretty short, I will try to record more soon. He is a big fan of taking two or three steps and then launching himself towards you.

He will be attending his first wedding this weekend, so coming soon will be pics of my little sharp dressed man. He will also be taking his first plane ride with Rocky as the pilot!!!

Story Time

Caleb and I have been going to the DP library on Wednesdays and Thursdays for their toddler story time. It is lead by a guy that works at the library and he is so good!! He plays his guitar at the beginning and everybody sings and then he alternates reading stories with singing songs. Last week he busted out instruments for the kiddos and Caleb thought that was awesome! So now we are hoping not only for a sports scholarship, but some musical abilities too!

Pumpkin Patch!!

We went to Pearland the other day to take Uncle Jason out to lunch for his birthday and on the way stopped at a local church to take pictures in their big pumpkin patch. It started raining on us after about 15 minutes, but here are some of the ones we snuck in. So cute!!

Caleb's first Aggie Football Game!

Last weekend we got to take Caleb to the game with us and he did awesome! We went to campus early and took him to march in (which he loved) and he was a trooper through the whole game. It was a 6pm game, and we went to campus at about 3:30, so he was in it for the long haul. I have a video of him watching the band march in, but I will have to post it later because I have to figure out how to do it (from the real video camera). Caleb fell asleep right before halftime and then woke up in the middle of the third quarter to enjoy the end of the game. He watched everything and was very intrigued by what was going on! Here are a few pictures from our day.

Friday night yell practice at the Villa!

I will post the video soon. I have another hilarious video, but for some reason the sound won't work on blogger. Check my facebook page!

Free Entertainment!

Caleb is now a dancing fool! Any time music comes on he bounces up and down no matter where he is and I crack up every time. He also likes to hold conversations with himself-I know this is the first of many!!!

He is going to his first Aggie game this Saturday! Cannot wait! I will post plenty of pics next week!

Just a swingin!

Caleb and I have taken a few trips to the park and he is having a blast on the swings! Here are a few pictures from our outings! Yes, he is wearing a muscle shirt in some of the pics-it was hot outside!

A great end to an awesome summer!

Caleb and I spent a weekend in College Station with Aunt Val and GJ. We had such a good time, just lounging around, playing at the pool, and cooking some yummy food together. It was a nice relaxing weekend for all of us-right before V started back to school and after GJ had a stressful week of being sick with vertigo (I still say she was just messing with us and had a few too many beers for breakfast, but since I got to actually talk to the doctor, I guess I believe her!) Here are some pics from GJ's house and our fun weekend.

We also went down to Galveston for one last beach weekend before the madness of Aggie football weekends and hunting season begins. Jess, Kevin, and Camryn came down for Saturday and the kiddos had fun in the sand and waves! They also did a good job of passing the baseball back and forth! They were very funny to watch together! They both were wiped out afterwards and fell asleep on the drive to dinner at Shrimp and Stuff-yummm!

Aggie football kicks off in 3 days...you will see lots more maroon on here soon!
