Happy new year to you all! Well, we’ve obviously been a bit out of touch for a few months; it’s amazing how quickly time flies. Caleb is 18 months now and truly a little boy. No more baby! Our personal lives have been keeping us moving, but we’re booking a lot of exciting weddings this year and looking forward to a new season! For now, we’re just including a personal slideshow of Caleb over the past 8 months but we’ll soon be updating you with new work from our fantastic photographers. Please stay tuned!

We have been slacking on posting pictures so here are a few from over the past month or two. We won’t say much more except that Caleb is becoming such a wonderful, smart, and fun little boy! We think these photos speak for themselves.

Caleb is eight months old now! He’s been crawling, gabbing (albeit mostly in gibberish) and waving “hello” for a few weeks now. He just started pulling himself up on things, and recently discovered the joy of playing with the cord to our mini blinds.
Mmmmmmm. That tastes good.
Waving ‘Hello’… well, not exactly. He’s trying to snag the camera.
He’s definitely determined.
Bouncing and shaking his arms. (I think he became a little frustrated with the mini blind cord.)
Yay! He’s pretty happy that he snagged the cord.
…and then the next day… It seems he didn’t get enough of the blinds and window the day prior.
Hi Caleb!
Who would have thought that mini blinds could be so entertaining?
We thought this was a pretty cute shot.
…and this one too.
But especially this one. Caleb and Nadine are best buds. He climbs all over her and steals her favorite spot by the window and she just smiles and gives him lots of kisses.

Caleb passed the half-year mark 10 days ago and still hasn’t tired of having his picture taken. Enjoy!
Mmmmmmm. Sweet potatoes.
Who needs a pacifier when you can suck on your lower lip?
How about this side?
Caleb is proud that he can sit up by himself!
…petting his toy lamb.
Talking…well, babbling at this point.
A cute smile.
Back to sucking on the lower lip.
Getting bored of the camera?
Hmmm. Most definitely.
Cutie-pie.
A big smile!
A happy Caleb in his wee activity center.
Yes ladies, the shirt says, “Heart Breaker.”
…a photographer at heart.

We’re a little behind in posting this, but just before Christmas, Caleb was treated to his first meal of solid food! We got him some organic rice cereal and mixed it with a bit of milk, and he was hooked after the first taste. Here are a few photos of the event:
Caleb waits patiently. It’s his first time in a highchair too.
First bite!
Hmmm, it looks like most of it didn’t stay in his mouth.
Caleb thinks about it for a minute. It seems he’s still a bit small for the highchair too.
Second bite! This time a bit more stays in his mouth.
Yeah! He loves it!
Our happy boy.
He smiles a lot!
I think I’ll see what the highchair tastes like…
Mmmmmmm, highchair…
Our cute baby — check out those cheeks and eyelashes!
He’s a pro at eating now.
Still happy!
I’m going to eat my finger now.
…and back to the food. His eyes look like he’s pretty satiated.
Good boy!
He’s started to tilt his head back as the spoon approaches.
Interesting how grabbing the cup and pulling it out of Megan’s hands can create a pretty cool Rorschach, eh? Kind of looks like the US upside down….Caleb is eyeing the Caribbean.
Nadine was sitting next to the highchair like a dedicated pup. Either that or she was trying to get a tan in the window light.
All done!

Today was a big day for Caleb! I gave him his bath and then put him on his play gym while I went to clean up the bathroom. I came back about 1 minute later and he wasn’t there. I had a moment of panic and realized he had rolled under the swing! So I picked him up and put him on one side of the room and he started to roll! He made it all the way to the other wall and so we did the same excercise 2 more times before he was ready for something else. Here is an excerpt of one of his many rolls. He’s just too cute!

We took Caleb on a small adventure up the coast to Hearst Castle on Friday. We were celebrating my birthday but enjoyed taking Caleb out on one of his first major outings much more. He’s 10 weeks old today and still growing at an amazing clip! We’re trying to soak up as much of this time when he is still a baby as possible. Here are a few shots from our little adventure:
This is no joke. That’s San Simeon for you. I suppose that it doesn’t matter that the sign was on a deli and it was lunchtime…
…
Interesting architecture at the Visitor’s Center.
…
Caleb is happy to be hanging out in the Baby Bjorn.
…
Caleb isn’t too sure what to make of the bus ride up to the castle.
…
Except that it makes him sleepy…
…
And squished up a bit . He likes it when Megan holds him though.
…
Just your everyday balcony looking over the Pacific Ocean.
Hmmmmm.
…
The view from the pool.
…
But why would you look away from the pool? How cool is that?
Caleb hiding from the sun under a blanket. He slept in his carrier for the first part of the tour.
…
What’s a grand pool without an elevated pool and waterfall that flows out around a statue?
…
The castle is quite beautiful, both architecturally as well as from all of the lush landscaping.
…
Sweet. Guard dog fountains?
…
German comic caricatures (so we were told) on a window grate.
Yes, that’s the ceiling in one of the guest houses.
Megan’s awesome shot of the castle reflected in the lily pool.
…
These two aren’t related or anything.
…
On our way back home on Highway 1, we were treated to an amazing yet eerie sunset.
…
Back at home, Caleb needed some quality time with his bouncy chair.
…
…and then some on his mat.
…
What’s that over there?
…
Caleb smiling big!
