I'm back.

Thanks for all the encouraging posts and words. And thanks just as much for all the silence, lmao! It's not pretty when you lose your lid and sometimes it's just nice to pretend it's still there until it returns. I've got to say, after my little public purge I slept like a rock! Finally.

Kaleb continues to grow and develop like a dandelion.

He's fiesty and loving, perfecting his sloppery, two-tooth-crunching kiss (he tries to fit your entire face in his mouth while the sweet-talks you, stares you down and pulls your hair). We may have to refine his courting moves after puberty...

He's become a very strong at his standing, often hanging onto the side of crib for an entire episode of Franklin or Comfy Couch. He's quite the little opportunist for getting into position, adeptly manipulating the nearest person into setting him up. I think we have a future climber of every THING.

He's also a rockstar. Quite an array of music charms his ear and he can often be seen bobbing his little head in time to either a noisy toy or a commercial jingle while he plays. The music lady maintains #1 Visitor Position. He loves to sing along and shake his noise-makers while bouncing and rocking out on the nearest knee.

He's still thinking about crawling. The card table is his fall-back manoeuvre but he's caught on to the grab and pull move. He's charted every inch of that crib.
