Caleb, Mommy's little angel
This is a long overdue blog entry...so sorry! I can not believe we are already into February. Wow...Caleb is already 16 months old. Yesterday, Josh commented on how fast Caleb is growing up and how he doesn't want Caleb to grow bigger and older. The cliche, kids grow so fast, is fairly accurate as all of you seasoned parents and grandparents out there already know. A lot has happened since our last entry. So here is an abbreviated update. Caleb has a great passion for books (we must have read over 40 books together today), trucks and anything with wheels, wrestling his stuffed animals and Dada, exploring outside, and playing chase. He is quite the little man. I know we are slightly biased, but he is such a gift. He brings so much joy to those he is around. Even the nursery helpers comment on what a special boy he is. I only wish our out of town family could be around him more to experience his sweet spirit. He is started to say more words and sounds, especially those mentioned in his books. We think that once he starts really talking, watch out. He is going to have some vocabulary for as much as we read to him. Here are some fun pictures from the last few months.
Caleb reading one of his favorite books, My Big Truck Book. He will seriously look at his books by himself for 20 minutes at a time. He LOVES books!
Caleb loves to be outside with Dada. This is his train teeter-totter that makes the train sound...choo, choo. 
A few weeks ago we went up to Keystone, CO to stay in a friends condo. Caleb was not sure what to make of all the snow. We have not had snow banks taller than him in Denver. Does he look like a little mountain man to you?
The Schmidt curl. Josh and Jason both had it on the left side too. I am hoping this means he will get Dada's curls! 
This is a 4 generation picture taken when Grandpa Charlie Schmidt was out around Thanksgiving. The family resemblance is striking, don't you think?
Mommy wasn't present for this one. This is what happens when Aunt Stacey and Uncle Jason get involved. JK. Again, Caleb's train now seating the birthday boy, Josh, and company. I am guessing this may be a photo we share with Caleb's class when asked to bring in an embarrassing photo someday.
Pure sweetness. This was Christmas Eve at our home. Caleb was more interested in the truck ornaments from Grandma than the other big gifts. Go figure, he knows what he likes. Simple.
