So much has happened

Since I am so far behind AGAIN, I almost threw in the towel and gave up on the blog. BUT then I thought, maybe just maybe someone still reads my blog, and who am I to deny them that small pleasure! So lets begin with Caleb's first airplane ride! I was ALMOST that mom and took his picture with the flight attendant, but I didn't. I did take many pictures in Arizona! It had been 3 years since we had all gotten together. This is my nana and all her grand kids and great grand kids

It was fun spending time with them again.  Here is a pic of ALL of us!

Nana and Caleb!

Matt was the only one missing. We had a great time. Lots of pool time, nights spent on the upper balcony watching the sunsets and fireworks.  The stars are AMAZING there.  Caleb did great on the plane. I was so nervous! on the way there he was fussy for about 10 minutes then fell asleep for over 2 hours! he woke up a happy boy.  On the way home he fell asleep right away but only slept for 45 minutes. Luckily we had a 13 year old boy sitting next to us and he played with Caleb the whole plane ride!

I took Caleb to Babies R Us to get his pictures taken.  He was 11 months here. He was such a ham! as soon as the lady got the camera he was all smiles! I just can't believe how cute he is!

On July 20th Caleb had his tear ducts unclogged.  It was a simple procedure, but I was a mess! They had to put him under and take a needle looking thing and stick it in the bottom tear duct in both eyes. The procedure took less than 10 minutes. Caleb woke up and was screaming! he was kicking his feet and his arms were going crazy. He was so scared when he came to. Matt and I went back and it took us a while to calm him down.  His eyes were so swollen.

Then his eyes turned black! The poor baby had black eyes for at least a week! I had to go to the grocery store one day and I am surprised I didn't get CPS called on me! The looks I got from people made me feel like a bad mom! These people would just stare at him then give me a dirty look! His eyes are so much better now!

Matt took the 3rd off and we had a family fun day! we went to the zoo and to Owen's beach. Caleb loved the animals. And the grass at the beach. We had such a good day. I love my little family.

Guess who turned one! I still can't believe he is one! That was one fast year.  I had so much fun planning his party! We had it at Gramma Susie's house, cuz our home is way to small with just us 3 and a dog! I found balloons with Caleb's name on them! It was a lot of fun.  He had so much cake, well mostly frosting! I had to put him in the sink to hose him off! He had a sugar high for awhile!

Well I am pretty much all caught up, for now...
