Happy Friday!

Last night, Caleb learned to walk backwards! Okay, actually, I don’t know that he LEARNED it last night, but it was sure the first time I’d seen it ~ and he loved it! We were doing a “dinner on the fly,” meaning that I didn’t have him in his highchair while he was eating. He would walk toward me with his little baby bird mouth open, then as soon as he got a bite, he’d walk backward while he ate it. Then walk forward for another bite, then walk backward and eat. He was totally cracking up! I don’t know why I never thought of walking backwards as a form of entertainment!

He’s so much fun! I know I put that in every post, but it just keeps getting to be more fun! He’s developing the “knowledge of good and evil,” meaning that when he does something he knows he’s not supposed to do, he’ll keep an eye on mom and dad’s reaction. It’s hilarious! So when he’s crawling to the place where we keep the Xbox plugged in, knowing it’s off limits, he turns around every few seconds to see what our reaction will be. It’s adorable!

The other fun thing is that he LOVES to use us as a jungle gym! If you lay on the ground with him, he’ll be crawling all over you for so long that your body will ache from his joyful body slams and knees in the throat and whatnot. I’ve never been so happy to be abused…
