Happy Birthday, Caleb!!!

Wow, our big boy turns one year old today. Around 1:00 today as we were getting home from Culver's (best low-price-level resturant ever!!!) I was saying to Josh, "Hey, one year ago today we had lunch at Culver's too! I remember because I was starting to have contractions and I made us rush through the drive-through so I could scarf down a burger before getting to the hospital, (afraid they wouldn't let me eat!)" so it was kind of funny. We're going to make Culver's a tradition for Caleb's birthday. Hopefully they'll build one in Idaho by the time we move back though!

Anyways, as much as I know y'all love my little Culver's tribute... how about some stuff about the birthday boy!!? It is 10 pm now so this time last year I was probably either asleep or just barely getting a good long look at Caleb for the first time after he was cleaned up and dressed. (He was born at 8:02 pm). At that time we were still living with my mom and we weren't sure about what Josh's job was going to be and we were so relieved Caleb was here and healthy. I feel like after that day things just kept getting better and better. Now as we enjoy life with our two energetic, funny, entertaining little boys in our house that we've put so much work into, it's so awesome to see the blessings in our lives.

Caleb is truly such a sweetheart. Everyone falls in love with him within seconds of meeting him because he smiles nonstop. He even keeps peeking around me to smile and laugh as we walk away from clerks at grocery stores. He is just starting to dance which is really funny. I think it's especially funny cause he's such a chunk. I am guessing he weighs 32 pounds. I will post next week after his checkup. He wears size 2T shirts and 24m or 2T pants. He loves playing catch (or sometimes "roll") with Gabe and being outside all the time. He goes to our sliding glass door by the deck and stands up and bangs on it, wanting to go out. He also loves opening and closing my kitchen cupboards all the time. He's not walking on his own yet but has been walking along furniture for a while and we're sure it won't be long before he's running away from us! (Maybe then he'll burn some fat off those legs! I think I measured once and his upper leg at the fattest part was like, 2 inches bigger than my bicep at the widest part! No lie!!!) So, that's our little sweetie. We had a birthday BBQ on our deck with some neighbors and relatives. It was a nice night so he was shirtless the majority of the night!

Hope everyone who reads this is doing well and enjoying the start of Summer! Yay! (And finally! For you Idahoans it probably felt like it'd never get here!)

I can't believe what a big boy that Caleb is! I can't wait to see him and Brennan together. They are probably about the same size!
