My little inchworm...

Happy Thursday! What a week it's been! First of all, last week was unbelievably long and wonderful. I had the whole week off just to spend extra time with my little man. He got to see a lot of his Grandma and GG (my Gram) and he travelled a TON! Plus, our van got fixed, we went swimmin', and had a failed camping trip. Delicious, no?

Anyway, he's really making an effort to get to his knees now. He'll sit and rock for a long time on his hands and knees, but when he wants to move, he just does his little army crawl. Man, is that kid cute! So today is the first time that I've seen him try to combine the two - he'll army crawl, then get up on his knees, then army crawl, and so on. Ugh, he's sooooo adorable!

Also, something fun and wonderful - and potentially a danger in the future - is how much he loves those dogs. Mainly, the part that could become a worry is how much he loves it when Nonny barks at him. Or at anyone, really. Nonny and Auggie "fight" all the time, and he'll just watch and scream with laughter. And when they run at him and jump over him, he's in hysterics. In a good way. So I guess at some point, we'll have to teach him that when OTHER dogs bark, it doesn't mean they want to be friends.

He got moved up to the mobile nursery. He was supposed to go at seven months or mobility, whichever came earlier. Well, seven months came and went. Total mobility came and went. But his teacher didn't want to lose him. I actually saw her sweep Caleb up in her arms in front of the director one time so that the director wouldn't know he was mobile. Niiiice. Finally, they're moving him up - and it's breaking a lot of hearts. His wonderful teacher is really having a hard time with it. But it's not like every teacher in the place doesn't go visit him EVERY DAY, so she'll still see him. I'll miss her, though...

We got really great video of him playing in the dog's water. (Ahem, Jonathan?) We also have a ton of adorable pictures of him on Grandpa Garmane's shoulders with bubbles. We really need to get the website updated so you can see how much he's grown! (And by we, again, I mean my better half - the techno-wizard Jonny Fashbaugh!) He's into absolutely everything. I swear, I'm going to put a swiffer duster on his tummy, he picks up so much dust and hair in the kitchen!

Okay, Nonny is getting a little agitated at the fact that her barking only spurs him into greater attempts to get to her. I better jam...
