Baby Blankets

They say you can never have too many baby blankets, and it is true. However-- there are only a certain few that ever become really special. Caleb is so very loved and has had several baby blankets made for him. (Which is a good thing, since it may take me till he graduates high school before I can finish one for him).

This is a picture of the blanket made for him by Grandma Knickerbocker. She is very talented-- I'm so impressed!

So Someday, When He's Famous...

My cousin Derrick is a fabulously talented musician and I'm trying to do my part by spreading the word. Check out his website by clicking HERE.

Also, take a look at the "web element" at the bottom of the page-- it'll give you a chance to preview his music for free.

Picture Perfect

Caleb had a photo shoot a few weeks ago and here is one of my favorite shots. He is so cute! I can hardly stand it.

Danica took the pictures (which are all amazing!) and if you are in the Philly area, you should definitely check her out--she is so talented and very reasonably priced. Check out her website by clicking here.

First Kiss

Lillian and Caleb are quickly advancing their relationship. While I am glad he has found a good, sweet, beautiful girl-- I think they are a little young to be this committed. I think I'll have to have a talk with Lillian's mother :) I'll also have to teach Caleb the proper way to respond to a girl's advances... he looks a little shocked here.

Flower Show

My sister-in-law Amanda, her friend Jackie, and I went to the flower show this week. I didn't know what to expect, but I was amazed at how incredible the displays were! Here are a few of my favorites.

So you might not be able to tell here, but these are people dancing.

Little boy fishing

Just a pretty flower

That's what my yard looks like too :)

The water was spraying from the instruments and flowing out of the piano. It was pretty cool!

Too Cute

So the other day I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off (a common occurrence in my life) when I needed to finish getting ready (a not so common occurrence in my life). Caleb was being "needy" as Peter likes to say, so I grabbed whatever I could find next to me to keep him pre-occupied for a few minutes. When I came back out, I saw this.
So not only is he smart enough to start grabbing and holding things-- he's smart enough to go for the chocolate! He's going to have to watch out though, he may loose his figure.

Of course, as a new mom, I am ridiculously proud of him. He's pretty much getting into Harvard at this point. That's all there is to it.

Happy Anniversary!

Last night Peter and I celebrated our second anniversary. We were very wild and went out to eat. By ourselves. My mother was kind enough to watch Caleb (or I was kind enough to let her, I don't think we stayed out long enough for her) and Pete and I went out to the Cheesecake Factory. It was great to have some time just to talk about nothing-- with Pete in medical school it seems like we are always discussing something, usually something stressful.



During our conversation last night we talked about how much has changed in the past year. In March of 2007, we had just moved to Greentree. We thought we were going to be going to school in Florida, Pete hadn't signed up with the Navy yet and we had NO idea that Caleb was on his way.



We of course started to think, what will the next year bring? Pete will be scheduling his medical school rotations, I will either be student teaching or preparing to student teach, Caleb will be a whole year old! What other changes will the change in calendar bring? We're of course, not sure, but we are excited to see it happen.
