My little walker/Mini-vacation summary

Caleb has quickly bored with crawling and has moved on to trying to walk.
It is the most adorable event of the day.
He'll pull himself up using the coffee table legs, bang the coaster on the table top a couple of times (when did I stop caring about the care of my furniture?), then turn my way. He'll get the biggest look of happy determination on his little face, and he'll take about five steps before he falls to the floor.
I know it's only a matter of time before he's taking 10 steps, then 20 steps.

Over the weekend, we took a trip to Amarillo and Borger. Daniel and I haven't been back to Frank Phillips College since the semester Daniel graduated, way back in the spring of 2002. We took a walk around campus, and introduced Caleb to the baseball field where Daniel pitched many a baseball game. Caleb even threw a couple of pitches.



OK, so maybe he just stood there with the baseball in his hands.

We went to the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, and found it very interesting. Caleb did, too.

A change

Caleb is almost 8 months old and it seems that he learns something new everyday.
It seems a short time ago that he was born. Now, he's sitting up and eating baby food. He fills the time in the evenings by army crawling across the floor in pursuit of Cali.
Yesterday, he pulled himself up into a standing position.
I know he will be walking and talking soon. I am predicting that this little boy will ask a lot of questions. He has this standard "inquisitive" expression that just says, "Please explain this to me." It often appears when he's trying a new food.
As much fun as he's had exploring our house in Rhome, he's about to have a new home to explore.
We're moving to a little house in the country in a few weeks. A friend asked us if we would like to move to their land in Boyd in order to watch over things for them. It's an adventure, and we are so excited.
Plus, it will help us save up some money so we can finally buy our own house.
So, think of us as we go through the wonderful process of packing (fun) and moving and unpacking (more fun). Pray that our new digs will bring wonderful memories, and a jump start at finding, or creating, our dream house.
