A Moment in Time

Today was one of those awesome moments in time. Kaleb is going through a semi-naked period, meaning he only wants to wear a diaper, undershirt, shoes and socks (so random!) He loves trains and found a whistle in the shape of a "choo-choo." He was a fast study on how to use it. Between his outfit and excitement about knowing how to blow a whistle, this video has quickly become an all time favorite! 
 
Kaleb is at the best age. Granted, I say this all the time. The older he is, the more engaging and entertaining he becomes. It's so cool that we can communicate and hold conversations based on his tiny vocabulary. Most of the time, I feel like my life is a game of Charades, where I'm trying to interpret his hand gestures and emotional reactions. I live in fear of guessing wrong because it usually results in a temper tantrum...eek!

Bedtime love

Chicago-20120121-00357

The boys are so cute at bedtime. Kaleb gives everyone a kiss, including the pugs. Usually, Chase will hang out in Kaleb's bed for a few minutes until it's lights out. So awesome :)

So Big!

Today, Chase is seven months old! WOW! He's 18 lbs, 27 in. He is so happy ...scooting around the house, laughing and interacting with his toys and especially his big brother.

Kaleb is processing more and more everyday. We are working on following directions. His sleep is a little wonky, meaning he jumps into bed with everynight around 2 am, but I don't mind the extra cuddle time :)

This little dude is having surgery today...

Kaleb_12

Poor Rocco. He's having surgery this morning to remove kidney stones. We took him to the vet yesterday after noticing a slew of abnormal behavior. After a few xrays to determine his diagnosis, we transported him to a 24-hour emergency facility. He spent the night there and rested comfortably, thanks to doggie morphine. Everyone is feeling the void in the house, from our favorite toddler asking, "where's Rocco?" to his partner in crime, Farrah, mourning his absence. For everyone's sake, we hope Rocco gets well soon.

These are the videos that melt my heart. I plan to resurface this video in a few years when they are at each other's throats to remind them how nice they use to play with each other. Maybe, just maybe, it will work.

Look who is almost crawling

Chase_2

Chase has been teasing us the past few days. He gets up on his hands and legs, looking like he's ready to start crawling. Like a mad woman, I grab the camera and stare at him, waiting for it. He must think it's entertaining because he gives me a big smile before collapsing to the floor. Oh well...I'm sure he'll do it when he's ready, and I'll be waiting with the camera ;)

Wrapping up the holidays

We had an awesome few weeks. We celebrated Chase's first Christmas and his baptism in Cleveland. Do you believe he didn't even make a peep when the priest poured the water over his head?!! Seriously, this baby never cries :)
 
Here are some of my favorite pictures! You'll notice that Kaleb's favorite part of the baptism was the cake ;)

Getting into trouble

Tonight, we were going through our storage area and came across Kaleb's walker. For giggles, we put Chase in it to see what he would do. I thought he'd just hang out and give me the evil eye for putting him in this contraption. Nope. He started moving...cruising, really. In a matter of minutes, he was loving his new freedom, and the pugs realized their worst fear just came true.

I'll say it again...

Time flies. I can't believe how fast Chase is growing. He's only five months old, but he's so active. He's sitting up, rolling over, smiling, laughing and grabbing everything in sight to put it in his mouth. He melts my heart. Where's the pause button on life?
