Happy Thanksgiving! It has been a few weeks since the last posting, and in that time Caleb has gone from a baby with a full head of hair to a baby with "male pattern baldness" and 3 to 4 inch bangs that extend below his eyes if not brushed to the side. In the last few weeks, Caleb has discovered the fun things he can do with his feet (prior to now they just seemed to weigh him down). He loves to touch his toes and kick whatever is in reach. He is also becoming much more aware of his environment. His eyes are constantly searching for something to grab. He is so close to rolling over from back to front, but hasn't quite put all the steps together. I can't believe how fast time is moving; Caleb will be 6 months old just before Christmas.

It is impossible not to love a little boy with a such a cute grin. 

Caleb sporting his "bilateral comb-over" hair style (parted down the middle to cover the ever increasing baldness on the sides). Hopefully he will have some hair left for Christmas.

Caleb likes to grab pretty much anything he can get his hands on, and if at all possible likes to stick it in his mouth.

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. 

"I am so tired. Will you please take me to bed!" 

Thanks to the Minnesota weather, Caleb needed some extra gear to stay warm and cozy. 

When mom and dad aren't looking, I like to play in the laundry basket. 

"Hi Grandma. I can't wait to see you in a few weeks!"

This week has been another fun one. I went to vote for my first time and watched TV all night to see the results of the presidential election. I am laughing really hard now. I love it when people bury their faces in my tummy and make funny sounds. I also laugh at myself in the mirror and I am really learning that my hands belong to me. I am so excited to have a new cousin, Eli Greenway, and I want to pay special tribute to his mommy for knitting me the really neat baby blue sweater that I am sporting in my pictures this week.

What can I say, I am a cutie.  

I have really discovered my hands lately and I think they taste great...sometimes I am able to stuff both of them in my mouth. I always have the other one available in case one falls out. 

Hey, what are you guys doing over there...I really like having your full attention. 

Looks like my vote really meant something!!!  

Caleb was a hit on Halloween. Don't let the pacifier trick you, this is NOT a cowardly lion.
