Meredith's Photo Shoot


Last weekend, we took Meredith to get her pictures taken....the photographer is a friend of a friend, and she did a great job!

Meredith was 12 days old at the time.

Play-Doh!




Aunt Heidi bought Caleb a play-doh set for his birthday.
And, this rainy morning was the perfect time to get it out and go to town.

I wasn't sure what to expect...and was a bit nervous that Caleb might try to throw the play-doh, maybe even eat the play-doh, or have no interest in it at all.

But, it was a successful endeavor. I had Caleb pick out three colors to play with (didn't want to get too ambitious just yet). He picked "bown", "puple", and "orange". We had a really fun time...we cut the play-doh, rolled the play-doh, made shapes, and smashed the play-doh. Caleb (and Mommy!) really enjoyed it....and, it took up a good chunk of the morning.

He kept asking me to roll the play-doh into a ball, so he could smash it...

Happy 2nd Birthday, Caleb!

Our "little" boy is growing up!

We celebrated his 2nd birthday today and I personally am not quite sure where all the time has gone!

We celebrated this afternoon with our friends Jack, Coralyn, Ella, Matt, Maddie and Aubrey.

Waiting for friends to arrive...he was so excited!


Theme - Elmo!


"Happy Birthday to you..."


He only took abut 5 licks of icing before deciding he was done...he is not a huge fan of sweets, and definitely did not like that there was frosting all over him!


Tonight, my parents, and Heidi came out to celebrate.

In his "Thomas the choo-choo train" gear....


He thought the Thomas cake was pretty cool...although, he was frustrated that the train didn't actually move along the frosting tracks. =)


Blowing out the candle!


Caleb continues to amaze us every day and we are so very thankful that the Lord has given him to us.

We love you Caleb!

Thomas!

This past weekend, Grandma and Grandpa McCarty took Caleb to see "Thomas the choo-choo train"! The Illinois Railway Museum is currently hosting our good buddy the tank engine and for a small fee, Thomas fans can spend a Day Out with Thomas!

Posing with Grandpa, and Engine #1!


All aboard!


"Gamma" and "Gampa" bought him this VERY adorable hat! He loves to wear it!



Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for taking Caleb on this very special outing!

Happy Birthday, Papa!



Happy Birthday to our wonderful Dad and Grandpa Johnson! We love and miss you! Thanks for being a fantastic dad and "papa". Have a great birthday!
