Yesterday my mom and I took Caleb to the summer kiddie movie and while we were waiting in the lobby he found a pay phone. He picked up the reciever and had an entire conversation with who-knows. This was his side of the phone call:
"Hewwo?"
(pause)
"What you do-wing?"
(pause)
"I'm jumping"
(starts jumping)
(long pause)
"I wike twucks!"
(pause)
"Ok, bye!"
He made it through 3/4 of the movie (Alvin & the Chipmunks 2) before he said, "I'm done. Let's go bye-bye." He is growing up so fast. He is obsessed with "Cars". He even talks about McQueeen, Mater, Doc and "Heriff" in his sleep. He watched the move for the first time last weekend and sat there in awe with his jaw dropped. He screamed, "Mommy! McQueen's on TV!!". So cute! He is such a boy. I love it. :)

It's been a long time...
it has been a long time since i've blogged. i miss it and i feel like i have so much to say yet nothing to say at all. i have a ton of pictures on my camera that i need to upload but still haven't done it. i have the summer off from school so i will have more time to blog now. eventually i will put them on here and pretend that i posted them on time so look for back-dated posts sometime in the future....
i got an A in my microbiology class! yay. i worked hard for that A. i still have to take anatomy & physiology (fall 2010 and spring 2011) and then i can apply for the nursing program. sigh. i think i have a good chance of getting in but it's a really competitive program so it might take me a while to get accepted. i'm HOPING (darn that hope) that it will be put on hold because i'll get pregnant but you know how that goes............. sigh. not that i don't want to become a nurse, because i totally do and i think i would love it but i want another baby and we've been trying for a year and a half and that's no fun. i went to the doctor last month. he sees nothing wrong with me and no obvious reason why i'm not getting pregnant. he wants john to get tested again and i have the stupid cup for him but i just can't seem to want to have him get tested. the fertility stuff is so stressful. even thinking about going back for treatments is stressful. he was fine last time, i'm sure he's fine again. it's just a timing thing for us, i think. or maybe we're not supposed to have another baby or maybe i need to stop trying or pfffffffffftttttttt. i don't know. i'm just sooo soooo soooooooo sooooo thankful and happy that i get to be caleb's mommy and i don't want to take one second with him for granted. my prayers for him were answered and i am forever grateful for that. i love love love being his mom.
caleb is amazing. he is so smart! and so loving and funny and full of energy and i have a ton of stories that i can't think of right now because the dryer buzzer just went off and i have to get to my laundry. lol. (look for some stories in the future back-dated posts i was talking about earlier). he took himself to the potty today and went poop all by himself (he even tried to wipe!). he was so proud. he is a crazy, silly, little BOY now, no trace of baby left at all. i love him so much. i am so so so blessed to be his mommy.

Big Boy Bed
He's such a bog boy now!!
Naptime!
This post is way overdue but Caleb has moved out of his crib and into a big boy bed! He never liked his crib anyway and he's doing great in his twin bed. He started sleeping on the mattress on the floor in January and only rolled off once (lol, he didn't even wake up!). Then in February his Papa-Bear brought him the frame after he made a cool bed rail for it (he would definitely feel it if he rolled out of this one!). The frame is a hand-me-down from way back in John's family. I think it goes back to John's great-grandmother's day! Pretty cool, huh? He wakes up once during the night and yells "MOMMY!!!" and I get up and take him to go potty and then back to bed. It's awesome. Caleb loves his bed. He takes any and all visitors to his room to check it out. Sometimes during the day we'll just lay in it together and read books or just cuddle and talk. He has such a vocabulary. He never stops talking. He gets really frustrated when I don't understand what he says. He has started being pretty demanding and I have to remind him to speak nicely to me and he says, "oooh, sowwy, Mommy" and gives me a kiss. I love it when he says, "Mommy, where are you?" and searches throughout the house. Hello, my house is on the rather small side and you just have to turn the corner to find whatever you're looking for. :) He loves my hair. LOVES, LOVES, LOVES my hair. He grabs it and buries his face in it, puts it in his mouth and sucks on it, and rubs it in his eyes. He is so funny. So weird. Guess I won't be cutting it short any time soon (not like I was going to anyway).
I love my Caleb-Caleb, yes I do!! (a line from a song I sing to him) :)

Happy Birthday to Caleb!
My little guy turned 2 today! John woke Caleb up this morning by singing him the happy birthday song and Caleb opened his eyes and said, "I want cake". He cracks me up! I can't believe how fast time flies. Caleb is everything and more that I've always wanted and he makes John and I happier than we've ever been. I can't imagine my life without him and I thank God every day that He made me Caleb's mommy.
He is TWO!!! I can't believe it. I love him more and more every day. He is thoughtful and loving, smart and funny, silly and crazy, cuddly and independent. I am so proud of who he is and I am so excited to see who he becomes. I just hope time starts to slow down a bit 'cause these last 2 years have FLOWN BY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CALEB!! MOMMY LOVES YOU SOOOO, SOOOO MUCH!

"Time Me Out"
The other day Caleb and I were spending the day with my dad and Aunty Gladys. I was trying to put him in his carseat and he was fighting it with all his might.
Frustrated, I said, "Caleb, do you want to go in time out?"
He replied, "Ok.... Time Me Out."
What do you say to that? He's not even TWO yet!!
I pushed his hips into the seat and buckled him in. My dad got a huge kick out of it.
Out of the mouths of babes!!!!

Makin' graham cracker hearts
i am the world's worst blogger! i haven't blogged in forever. my sis-in-law took this pic yesterday so i'm taking 2 mins to put it on the blog. next week is finals week and i am rockin' my chemistry class! i have an A+ right now with 2 more tests and a lab practical next week. i can't wait til it's over!
Caleb is the best!!!!! he can count to 20, he knows his basic shapes, he recognizes several letters (A, B, K, S & R are his favorites) and helps me sing the alphabet. he is so smart. i love him so much and can't wait to get back to being with him full time. next semester i'm taking a microbio class and although it's a really hard class it won't be as intense as the last 5 weeks. maybe i'll be able to blog more too!

It's 2010!
happy new year, everyone! i've been so bad about posting on my blog lately. there's just no time lately! we've been so busy. i miss it though. here's a quick wrap-up of what we've been up to....
Christmas was great this year. Caleb loved the tree and took every opportunity he had to grab an ornament off of it and hurl it across the room (thank goodness for shatterproof ornaments!). we spent Christmas eve at my grandma's house eating a HUGE spread of homecooked food. she really outdid herself! it was a lot of fun. Chrismas day was spent between home, papa/grammy's house and papa/nema's house. Caleb was such a good boy all year that Santa brought him a ton of presents. it was so much fun watching him rip open the gifts. he is so not a baby anymore. he is such a big boy.
as a matter of fact, he is such a big boy now that he doesn't need diapers anymore! his last diaper day was Christmas day. a friend recommended the 3-day-potty-training method so i gave it a try. it says that 22 months is the perfect age to potty train so i figured that since i had some time between semesters i would try it. it was a brutal 3 days but it worked! he is doing so good. he even wakes up dry almost every morning (he usually will wake up once in the middle of the night and i put him on the potty). he still has accidents at times but that's to be expected, he just learned after all. we're still working on pooping in the potty every time but this morning he came running in the room yelling "POTTY! POTTY!". we ran to the bathroom and i said "pee or poop?" he said "POOP!" and poop it was. a lot of it --- in the potty!!! i am so proud of him. it amazes me that he is out of diapers.
as for me, i got an A in my psych class. yay! now i'm taking a short term chemistry class on M-TH for 4.5 hours a day. my brain is WORKED by the end of the day (class gets out at noon). my mom watches Caleb on mondays (mom has mondays off) and my dad has him on tues-thurs. i miss him so much when i'm gone. i can't wait to see him when i get home. i just keep telling myself that it's only for a few weeks. next semester won't require so much time away from my boy.
that's all for now... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
