Little Fish

My Caleb is a little fish! He started swim lessons a week ago and is doing so well. He loves it. He scares me a little bit though because he is so unafraid of it. Here is a quick video of him swimming to the wall in my parents' pool today. He did great until he was holding a car in each hand. He can't swim very well while holding cars, I guess! But other than that he did great. The teachers in his swim class keep asking how old he is and saying that if he was a little bit older he would be in the Tiny Tots instead of Mommy & Me. He can float on his back like a pro. He jumps off the side of the pool and turns around and swims to the wall. He is my little fish! :)

Stitches!!!!

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

We celebrated by camping up in Idyllwild for the weekend with our friends Jan, Ljiljana, and Dominic. It had been quite a while since we'd gone tent camping and it was soooo fun. Caleb had an absolute blast! He loved being outdoors the whole time and had so much fun sleeping in the tent. He thought it was a "hort" (fort). :) He chased lizards, hunted for rocks, swam, ran, jumped, ate, and played in the dirt to his heart's content. He loved his froggy chair.

Caleb found a worm in the lake and brought it to the guys to catch some fish. He was so proud to help them out. It must have worked because Uncle Jan caught a fish soon after!

Wouldn't you know it, Caleb spent all weekend camping and ended up busting his chin when we got home. Go figure. He slipped in the shower and got his first big owie. There was lots of blood. Poor baby! We rushed him to Urgent Care and the doctor gave him just one stitch and
some liquid bandaid. He was not happy but it was over pretty quickly. We were in and out of there in half an hour. Not bad for a holiday, huh? He is totally fine now though.

His first stitch! I'm sure it won't be the last! (although I would prefer that it was)
