Caleb was invited to a birthday party on Valentine's Day at Imagine Studios for one of his classmates. We have been there on our own a few times to paint pottery but had never been there for a party. Caleb was pretty pumped! We learned that the birthday girl really likes tigers so she had all her guests paint a tiger on canvas.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They first were asked to paint the canvas blue and then dry it.</div>

The instructor then game around and drew the outline of a tiger on their canvas using sidewalk chalk. How smart is that! I'd always wondered how the kids that I had seen in pics from this place were all able to paint out the exact same picture. She also came around and helped smooth out some of their edges and added a little bit of white accent on their tigers.<br />

After they dried their pictures they drew out the outline of the face and stripes following a picture she had drawn on a white board. They first drew it out using chalk and then went over it with a sharpie and last filled it in with paint.</div>

When they were finished the instructor came around and outlined some of the edges and added whiskers if their tiger didn't have any. She did however make sure to stay true to what each kid had painted she just helped clean them up a little bit.<br />

One of the things that I really enjoy about being a stay at home mom is the opportunity to get to go to Caleb's class parties. His home room mom has done such a great job with the parties they have had this year and between her and Caleb's teacher they have really been a lot of fun for the kids and super organized.</div>

Here the kids are participating in an experiment with an energy stick. They learned if they were all touching they created a circuit which would cause the energy stick to light up. A few of them got to take turns letting go of their classmate's hand and see that the light would go off when the circuit was broken.<br />

The kids were able to rotate around to different stations during the party and complete a some crafts, play games and have their picture taken in a homemade photo booth. I was in charge of manning the card station. We put one of the pictures the kids had taken on their card.<br />

I love a good snow day where everything is completely covered, school is closed, roads are yucky, David has to stay home and where everything just seems to come to a stand still for a little while. I love how snow days just make you want to be under a big blanket all cozy and warm, how they make you snuggle with your loved ones a little more, how they cause you to do things as a family, how they make you want to bake and make soup and how they just cause you to rest. I love them even more now that I'm a stay at home mom and don't have to worry about whether or not I can get to work and I don't have feel guilty if I choose to not go into work.<br />
<br />
When we were going through the One Year Chronological Bible study by Iva May I loved what she pointed out in Job about how God speaks through inclement weather. Iva writes in this study that God offers two main points: <br />
<br />
1. "God uses inclement weather conditions to command man's attention by revealing man's helplessness" "Inclement weather reveals man's helplessness as it halts work efforts; man can do nothing to change the weather."<br />
<br />
<em>"For He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth': likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength. He seals the hand of every man, that all men may know His work: (Job 37:6-7)".</em><br />
<br />
2. "God uses weather conditions to command man's attention by revealing the greatness of God."<br />
<br />
<em>"He comes from the north as golden splendor; with God is awesome majesty. As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him; He is excellent in power, in judgment and abundant justice; He does not oppress. Therefore men fear Him; He shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart" (Job 37:22-23)</em><br />
<br />
Iva had us read Job 35:1-37:24, 38 and asked "What does the Lord communicate about Himself to Job through re-directing Job's attention to His creation?"<br />
<br />
Definitely makes me think about his now every time we have a snow day.<br />
<br />
<br />
So how did we spend our snow days.........<br />
<br />

The boys and David played in the snow and went sledding (I'll admit I didn't get out this time)</div>

<br />
I really enjoy reading and have recently decided that I would like to start making some time to read more and finally start whittling down my ever growing list of books to read. I've typically been more into reading fiction but the problem with that is that if I find a good fiction book that I really like I can't put it down and will neglect everything around me (ie kids, husband, laundry, housework, making dinner, etc) until I have finished the book. Recently I've decided to read some other genre of books and with the help of friends suggesting books it hasn't been hard to find some great ones to choose from.<br />
<br />
I've typically been the type of person that would read one book in it's entirety before starting another one and thought people were crazy if they had more than one book going at a time. Much to my surprise I've become one of those crazy people and I think I like it. It's been nice to race through a fiction book that I really like, pick up another book that I need to read and digest on for a little while read something else that can easily be digested in car line or when there are various distractions going on or perhaps just reading some magazine articles that could potentially turn into topics we use for Mom App. There are a few books that I finally need to finish and move on with but I think this having multiple books going at one time is kind of working for me. Whenever I want to read I can just pick up the book that fits my mood at that time or the area I'm most interested in at the moment. I'm trying to keep it to only three books at one time as it can get a little confusing sometimes as to what might be going on in each book and this also helps me make sure I finish a book.<br />
<br />
I still really love a good drama or mystery fiction book but I've really enjoyed exploring some other books at the moment. They have caused me to think, reflect on what I believe, explore the bible more and even encourage or point out something I could be doing better or differently in my life. It's also been funny how typically whatever I'm reading has been exactly what I've needed to hear at that moment in my life or has been something I've been able to share with someone else as it fit into group discussion times at bible studies or conversations with friends.<br />
<br />
So here is what I have recently finished reading:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beliefs-Collide-Carolyn-Custis-James/dp/0310250145/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424890337&sr=8-2&keywords=When+Faith+and+Beliefs+Collide">When Life and Beliefs Collide by Carolyn Custis James</a>. <br />
This book was recommended to me by a friend and I'll admit took me a little bit to get through (I started it last year) because I took my time with it and just needed to let some things simmer while I read through it. This it definitely one that I will be purchasing my own copy of as I borrowed it. I can definitely see myself turning back to it from time to time as a resource. It was such a thought provoking book on women and theology and such a reminder of how much God loves us as women and how we can be used by Him. I’ll never read the story of Mary and Martha the same way again. It really made me thing of our role as women in God's kingdom and as one of his recruits to help share His message with others. Don't ask me about this book unless you have a few minutes as it's kind of my pound your fist in a good way type book right now.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Women-Word-Study-Bible-Hearts/dp/1433541769/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424890778&sr=8-1&keywords=women+of+the+word">Women of the Word by Jen Wilkin</a><br />
Don't let the title fool you. This is definitely not a book just for Women. In fact I kind of hate that it has the word "Women" in the title as it leads you to think it's a book for women and perhaps might cause a man not to read it when they would benefit from it just as much. This book was a gift from a friend and was an easy quick read. It looks at the different ways people read/study the bible and Jen's thoughts on how you can develop a concise plan for studying scripture. She really challenges and encourages you to read scripture and determine first what you believe it to say before turning to find out how someone else interprets the scripture (via asking someone else, reading commentaries, reading the notes in your bible, etc).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hands-Free-Mama--Do-Perfection/dp/0310338131/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424891271&sr=8-1&keywords=Hands+free+Mama">Hands Free Mama by Rachel Macy Stafford</a><br />
I'll admit I read this one a little slower than I probably should have and actually started it last year. It's an easy read but was one that I just chose to pick up every now and then when I only had a couple of minutes to read. In some ways I'm glad that I chose this approach as it gave me constant reminders to put aside my phone, my agenda, my to do list and focus on things that really mattered at the moment such as my husband and boys. I have, more than I'd like to admit, really gotten tied down to my phone and checking Instagram, Email and Facebook frequently throughout that day and not giving full attention to my family. I can also be bad about my to do list dictating my day and allowing it to cause me to get angry with those around me if they disrupt that self imposed schedule. I think that's another reason why I have found myself trying to read more and do something I like to do and not be so tide down to what I think has to get done and making sure that the house is spotless 24/7 and causing a lot of overdue stress on me and my family (this is a work in progress). Don't get me wrong there are still things around the house that need to get done but it's ok to make a mess every now and then and just have fun with my family. <br />
<br />
<strong>So what's on tap next to read?????</strong><br />
<br />
I've started reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=and%20the%20angels%20were%20silent&sprefix=and+the+an%2Caps">And the Angels Were Silent by Max Lucado</a> as I thought this would be great leading up to Easter. I'm pretty sure I read this several years back but can't really remember.<br />
<br />
I plan to start <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Keep-Shut-What-When-Nothing/dp/0310339642/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424891868&sr=8-1&keywords=keep+it+shut">Keep it Shut by Karen Ehman</a> because sister who couldn't use some help with that and I'm finishing up <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Say-Goodbye-Survival-Mode-Strategies/dp/1400206464/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424892148&sr=8-1&keywords=say+goodbye+to+survival+mode">Say Goodbye to Survival Mode by Crystal Paine</a>. Crystal is <br />
the founder of MoneySavingMom.com which is a blog I started following shorty after Caleb was born. <br />
<br />
I really need to finish up <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Best-Yes-Decisions-Endless-Demands/dp/1400205859/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424892362&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Best+Yes">The Best Yes by Lysa TerKeurst</a> but I think this one may have to wait a little longer as I'm not sure I want four books going at one time.<br />
<br />
I may also try to squeeze in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Cross-Billy-Graham/dp/1404104585/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424892651&sr=8-1&keywords=Blessings+of+the+Cross">Blessings of the Cross</a> which is an ebook that I received for free for signing up for <a href="http://www.faithgateway.com/free-easter-devotionals/#.VO4kce85Bow">40 days to Easter Devotions from Devotionals Daily at FaithGateway.</a> This is another one that I'd like to read leading up to Easter.<br />
<br />
So, what are you reading or what have you read that you recommend?<br />

We enjoyed a little potato bar, painting and carving pumpkins, roasting pumpkin seeds and just laughing and letting our kids run around crazy together. I don't remember ever making or eating roasted pumpkin seeds so it was fun giving them a try. We made one batch of sugar and cinnamon pumpkin seeds and one batch of salt and pepper seeds.<br />

The kids had fun painting their own pumpkins. I wish I would have taken a pictures of their pumpkins earlier in the night as their creations didn't last long. At one point in the evening the girls went inside and thought the guys were still outside with the kids. The kids evidently decided they wanted to do a little more work on their pumpkins while they were outside by themselves and proceeded to just start squeezing the bottles of paints over their pumpkins until they were just big black pumpkins. Needless to say there was a little bit of a mess to clean up but everything cleaned up easily and they had fun.</div>

Somehow two years have passed and well let's face it all of these things are still just things I'm "envisioning".<br />
<br />
One of the things that I hate I haven't done as much of with Joshua as I did Caleb is little craft projects. I have some fun memories and pictures of Caleb and I working on various projects. I recently found a couple of Halloween craft kits at the Associate Store for $1.00 each and since I can't seem to pass up a "deal" at the Associate Store I bought two of them and the boys and I put them together yesterday.<br />
<br />
Caleb has always enjoyed a good craft project so it was fun to see him in his element. I was neat getting to see Joshua experiment with making something on his own. I helped Joshua with a couple of pieces but I definitely tried to give him the opportunity to put a few pieces on himself and relinquished control of where he glued them. Caleb asked me when we first started "well what if he (Joshua) doesn't do it right".....oh son, you are so your Momma's child. I reassured Caleb it would be ok and off we went to having fun and hopefully making a few memories.<br />

We have heard about this event for a few weeks now and the Kindergartners have been busy earning, and in some cases losing, their Ocean Day tickets that they would need to participate in various activities and games. I'll admit I was starting to wonder if Caleb would actually get to play any games today because I think he was losing his tickets just as quickly as he was earning them (they had to give the teachers back tickets if they were misbehaving). I was able to volunteer at Ocean Day today while Joshua spent the day with his Nana and Papa.<br />

The Kindergartners were equipped with their sack of tickets and were allowed to decide how they wanted to redeem their tickets throughout the morning with the exception that each of them had to keep 3 tickets that they would use for popcorn, a Capri Sun and to watch a movie once all of their other tickets ran out. Each of the three Kindergarten class rooms were set up with various stations. Some of the options included playing in shaving cream, searching for buried treasures in the sand inside a kiddie swimming pool, making a fish, creating an ocean mobile, fishing for candy, etc.<br />

Today was a great day! <br />

After picking Caleb up from school the boys and I headed to Braum's for a little ice cream treat and then some much appreciated time at the park. These two had a blast and are totally in their element outside. They love being able to run around, throw rocks, be loud and all the other things that boys like to do. <br />
<br />
Going to the park will definitely not be for the faint of heart this summer keeping up with these two. Gone are the days of just pushing Joshua around in his stroller while Caleb plays or having him just sit on a blanket and play in one spot. This boy (Joshua) is mobile and is trying to keep up with his big brother with everything he has. <br />
<br />
Caleb was super sweet and took Joshua down the slide a few times and did a great job, with only a little bit of protest, of being as patient as he could to take turns playing in areas he wanted to go while making sure we played in areas that Joshua could also play.<br />

I love this picture of Caleb playing "SWAT team" in the background while Joshua is swinging. This is Caleb's latest imagination play. He did a really good job of staying close by where I could see him while Joshua got to swing on the swings.</div>

They both had a great time playing at the park and desperately wanted to get into the water but mustered up as much contentment as they could with just playing at the edge of the water. We managed to leave with only a little bit of a wet shoe which is an accomplishment as it never fails that I end up caving and Caleb ends up in the water before the trip is over.</div>

So happy for some warmer weather today and am looking forward to many more trips to the park this Spring and Summer.</div>

Sunday night we had our neighbors, The Brantleys, over to eat chili and carve pumpkins. It was perfect weather and we had a great time hanging out together. John and Caleb enjoyed getting to help cut the tops off the pumpkins and scrape out the insides before they decided to go back to playing and running around.</div>

We went to Caleb's first school Fall Festival on Friday! He had a great time getting to pick and choose what games and activities he wanted to spend his tickets on.</div>

We arrived at 4:00pm when it kicked off and decided to get in line for the face painting right as it opened so that we didn't have to wait in line for a long time later on. While Joshua and I saved our spot in line Caleb and David made a little toolbox at the Home Depot booth which was right next to the face painting booth. The timing couldn't have worked out any better, as soon as he finished his building project he was next in line to get his face painted. David and I joked about how he will sit so still to get his face painted but any other time you can't get him to sit this still. He loved how it turned out and didn't want to wash it off that night when it was time for bed.</div>

He had a lot of fun playing on the inflatables, going through some mazes, playing games, winning a cupcake at the cupcake walk, eating ice cream and socializing with his friends. While Caleb played David and I reminisced about the different activities we had at our school carnivals.</div>

I'm happy to report that Caleb got up out of bed as soon as his alarm went off this morning, turned it off, got dressed and then came downstairs without any assistance or coaxing. He was excited and ready to head back to school this morning. Today he decided he wanted me to drop him off and not walk in with him. I obliged but I'll admit I didn't like it and it took me a few minutes to quit wondering this morning whether or not he found his classroom ok. This afternoon Joshua and I went to a couple of stores and it was really weird passing by the school knowing Caleb was in there. I would love to be a fly on the wall and watch him just for a day :-).<br />
<br />
He had his first homework assignment tonight. I let him watch TV for a few minutes when he got home from school and then let him know he needed to do his homework. He didn't give me any fits and he said that he needed a desk like school to do his homework (which is funny because they sit at tables not in desks) and that he wanted to sit in the desk we have upstairs. Thankfully tonight's homework was super easy and took him just a few seconds to complete. He just had to color the border around a worksheet that I'm assuming he will fill out and complete in class tomorrow (at least that was this momma's understanding of the directions).<br />

<u>Joshua:</u><br />
Joshua has recently decided to venture out and crawl up the stairs. He has only done it a couple of times but not enough that we have had to worry about it and put up the gate. Well, this all changed this afternoon. After Caleb got home from school Joshua decided that he likes this stair climbing business and kept trying to climb up them. Looks like the baby gate will be going up at the Winberry house.<br />

It just didn't seem real last night as he tore off the last link of his count down chain, we prayed over him and we read the book that they gave him at Kindergarten registration that we had reached this time in his life. He was so excited last night and as we were putting him to bed he told us that he wished it was morning already.<br />

Last night we put a clock/radio in his room and Daddy set the alarm for 6:20am. Caleb thought it was neat that he had is own alarm clock. He did great getting up this morning but I'm not so sure how fun he is going to think it is when it goes off every morning for the rest of the school year.<br />
<br />
It's not the healthiest of breakfast options but he has been asking for Fruity Pebbles cereal for a while so as a treat he got to get some when we bought food for his lunches and snacks for school and have them this morning for breakfast.<br />

He was a sport and obliged me with all of the first day of school pictures and didn't bat an eye when we left after walking him into his classroom. It was a little sad this morning because he got upset when he found out we were taking him to school, bless his heart he thought he was riding the school bus. <br />

I did great while I was at the school but will admit I did cry briefly after I got home. It was a little weird not having him at home with Joshua and I today and I kept wishing I could see what he was doing all day. His teacher was super sweet and sent out an email part way through the day to the parents to let us know that they were all doing great.<br />
<br />
David came home early from work and we picked him up together and went to Dairy Queen for ice cream to celebrate a great first day of school. <br />

It sounds like he had a great first day. When his teacher brought him to the car she said he had a little something in his backpack that he earned today. He was excited to show us the treat he got to pick out from the treasure chest. We are so glad that he had a great day and are super excited that this school year is off to a great start.Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00954415903457581002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626836277227177625.post-67128468326401193002013-08-12T10:24:00.000-05:002013-08-12T10:24:07.741-05:0011 months old - Joshua<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

11 month update (June 4 - July 4):<br />
<br />
* You are wearing a size 2 diaper<br />
<br />
* You are still taking 2 naps a day, one in the morning and one later in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
* You are typically in bed by 7:30pm. You love your little snuggy blanket and like to cover up your face with it while you sleep. <br />
<br />
* You nurse 3-4 times a day along with eating various solid foods.<br />
<br />
* You are our little social eater and think you need to eat anytime you see someone else around you eating.<br />
<br />
* You have figured out how to use a straw.<br />
<br />
* This month you especially like feeding yourself (ie puffs, cheerios, gold fish, etc)<br />
<br />
* You like playing with your Little People school bus. You know how to open and shut the doors, you will open up the door and put the people in and then close the door.<br />
<br />
* Your first tooth has poked through! We were at the park and I was checking to see what you had put in your mouth and discovered you had a tooth poking through. It's your bottom, middle tooth on the left.<br />

Once again I decided to subject my kiddos to multiple attempts of taking pictures on Mother's Day. I'm blaming our church for some of these (ha) as our church was so sweet and had various areas set up before and after services that families could have their picture taken. They gave each Mom a free 5x7 photo that was ready to be picked up the following Sunday. We didn't see the photo stations set up outside until we had already had our picture taken inside so David was a big sweetie and went home and got our camera between services so that we could take a few photos outside after church.<br />

Hey when you can't get them to join you in taking a serious posed picture you just get crazy and strike whatever pose you feel like.<br />

Caleb decided he wanted to be the photographer for awhile and took a few pictures for us. <br />

It has been the only vacant lot in our neighborhood for a while now and I think all of the people on our street were starting to wonder if anyone was every going to build on it. Caleb has loved watching them build and has kept a close eye on the progress and is always giving us an update on what the workers are doing. Around mid April they started putting the sheetrock up. Caleb enjoyed just sitting on the sidewalk watching them deliver it. They had to take the upstairs window out so that they could use a crane and deliver the sheetrock on the second floor through the window space. I thought it was so cute that he went and got his vest to put on as if he was one of the workers. He sat and watched them on the sidewalk for a while or he would just ride his bike up and down the street keeping an eye on what they were doing. I love this sweet boy and how he just enjoys life and takes time to soak it all in!<br />

Sorry but I had to go back and capture a few pictures of my sweet baby boy's first Easter. I love Easter and am like a little kid when it comes to getting to dye Easter eggs. This year we dyed eggs two different times because Caleb asked if we could pretty early in the month and I decided why not :) I'll admit I was just about as giddy as Caleb was the night before Easter. I told David when I was younger I could hardly go to sleep the night before Easter because I was excited for the Easter Bunny to visit now it's because I can't wait to see the excitement on the boys faces when they wake up and see what the Easter Bunny left. :)</div>

It was so fun watching Caleb look for eggs and shake each one to see if it had something inside. We also enjoyed getting to watch Joshua dive into his first Easter basket.</div>

We attempted to take a few family pictures but Joshua was not having it that morning and to get both boys at this stage to look at the camera and smile at the same time is nearly impossible so you just have to go with it.</div>

In case you are doing the math no Joshua is not 7 months old he is actually 8 months (almost 9) and yes this momma is super behind in her blog posts. Every month I have great intentions of getting Joshua's monthly update out on time and yet every month I'm behind. Maybe one day I will do a better job of blogging on a regular basis but until then here's to catching up......(February 4-March 4)<br />
<br />
* Mommy decided to try her hand at making some home made baby food and fixed a batch of sweet potato baby food.<br />
<br />
* Some foods that we have introduced to you this month include: rice cereal (you have already been eating oatmeal cereal), squash, sweet potatoes, carrots and avocados<br />
<br />
* You are starting to sit up by yourself without assistance. You are still a little wobbly but are getting better.<br />
<br />
* You are finally starting to sleep through the night. You still have some nights where you wake up once. You go to bed between 7:00-7:30pm.<br />
<br />
* You wear a size 2 diaper <br />
<br />
* You are beginning to reach out for things you want<br />
<br />
* You are babbling more and I don't care what anyone else says I think your first word is "mama". You have said it more than once so I'm counting that as your first word.<br />
<br />
* You love anything that you can put in your mouth. One of your favorite toys right now is a little baby rubber ducky that Grandma gave you. It's the perfect size for you to hold and put in your mouth. You also like banging and chewing on your stacking cups.<br />

Today was Caleb's first soccer game and I am so proud of how he hustled and tried his best. This is our first year of organized sports so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. He has only had one practice (his second practice was rained out) and hasn't really had that much exposure to soccer so I wasn't really sure how he would do today. He did great (at least in this Momma's opinion)! He jumped right in and wasn't afraid at all to get into the mess of things and try to get to the ball. He started getting a little tired during the second half of the game but he still paid attention to his coaches and did everything they asked him to. At the end of the game they handed out game day stars (aka stickers they put on a poster) and he received a star for "Effort" (the other stars they can receive are for Defense, Offense, Sportsmanship or Christlikeness). <br />
<br />
He is playing on a coed team (4 girls, 4 boys) with Upward Sports through First Baptist Rogers. He had a lot of fun today and I think drank close to a half gallon of water. Apparently drinking water during practice and at the game is quite the novelty. He was afraid he wouldn't have enough water for today's game so he asked me to bring a second container. I guess it's a good thing because at some point during the game today he came over to the stands to get a refill as his first thermos was empty.<br />
<br />
I'm so glad he had such a good time today and can't wait to watch him play again next Saturday. Go Red Bears!<br />

Where has 6 months gone! It's so hard to believe that you turned 6 months old on February 4! You are growing so fast and learning how to do more and more each day. Here is a little information about you at 6 months old (January 4-February 4):</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* You are now sleeping in your crib and are no longer sleeping in the pack and play in Mommy and Daddy's room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* You have discovered your tongue and are like a little lizard in the way you keep sticking your tongue out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* You have started playing in your exersaucer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* On January 1 you rolled over for the first time (tummy to back). You are still not rolling over very much but the Dr. says not to worry since you have at least done it a couple of times. He says that since you have done it you know how but you apparently are just choosing not to. You have still not rolled over from your back to your belly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* On January 24 you slept through the night for the first time. You went to bed between 7:00-7:30pm and slept until 6:00am. You are still not doing this consistantly but we are definitely getting closer. You typically go to bed between 7:00-7:30pm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* You have figured out how to get your foot up to your mouth and have even put your toes in your mouth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* You wear size 2 diapers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* You are still nursing vs. drinking formula.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* On February 2 we gave you your first solid food. You had oatmeal cereal! You seemed to really like it and kept wanting more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* You are still not a fan of tummy time and get really upset if you are on your tummy for more than a couple of minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Caleb still thinks you are pretty special and love you lots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Once again I'm playing catch up and trying to get a few things recorded before you turn 6 months old in a few days. Here is a little information about you at 5 months:<br />
<br />
* Your big brother is still super crazy about you. He calls you Joshua, Joshy, Munch Munch, Munchy, Precious Baby and Cush Cush. I don't know where he came up with all of these names.<br />
<br />
* We took you took the Dr. on December 10 for an awful sounding cough and he prescribed you your first prescription, an oral steroid, that you had to take twice a day for 5 days. You were a little trooper and took your medicine without any issues.<br />
<br />
* You have the sweetest little smile and when you smile your whole face and eyes light up.<br />
<br />
* You started wearing size 2 diapers the last week of December.<br />
<br />
* You have found your toes<br />
<br />
* You are apparently already a mulitasker. One night while you were nursing I looked down to discover that you were nursing and sucking your thumb at the same time. I'm not really sure how that is even possible but you were making it work.<br />
<br />
* On January 1 you rolled over from your tummy to your back for the first time. You don't do it very often, as you hate being on your tummy and usually throw a fit, but you definitely know how. You have still not rolled over from your back to your tummy.<br />
<br />
* You are still nursing and have not had any formula. You have only had a bottle 2 or 3 times.<br />
<br />
* You are learning how to grab a hold of anything that comes within reach. and you put everything in your mouth.<br />
<br />
* You still really enjoy bath time and LOVE being held.<br />
<br />
* You are still not sleeping through the night and wake up 2-3 times, if not more, at night.<br />
<br />

I had debated back and forth for a while if I was really interested in hosting a house guest for the whole month of December but after some peer pressure from blogs and Pinterest I finally decided to cave so on December 1 our little friend Scooty came to stay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went up to Caleb's room that afternoon and there sitting on the bed was Scooty along with a book telling us all about him. Caleb didn't know exactly what to think at first and was wondering how he got on his bed and immediately started asking me if I put him there but he later decided that I didn't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Caleb named him all by himself. I'm not sure where the name "Scooty" came from but when we asked Caleb what we should name him that is what he came up with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Caleb loved his new elf friend and enjoyed waking up each morning to find out what silly things he had done while we were sleeping. Caleb would come into our room every morning and immediately would let us know whether or not he had found Scooty. He would always say "that silly Scooty" or "mom you won't believe what Scooty is doing". One of his favorite mornings was the very first morning after he arrived and Caleb found him in the kitchen eating one of the sugar cookies we had made. He got the biggest kick out of it.</div>

I'll admit I really enjoyed having Scooty around just as much as Caleb did and was a little sad to see him leave on Christmas Eve. On the morning of Christmas Eve we found Scooty holding baby Jesus in our nativity scene with the following letter for Caleb:<br />
