Big Boy Caleb

This weekend marked a big event in the life of Caleb Reid Howell. Caleb got his carseat turned around to face the front of the car. He LOVES it so much. He can see what Mommy & Daddy see and we can see him too.

Unc Unc came over on Sunday afternoon to hang out with Caleb. He put Caleb in a box and carried him around like a little package.

They have so much fun playing any time Barrett comes over.

Cute Baby Caleb

I had to share a few pictures of my sweet baby boy from last night.
When we got home from school/work Caleb was asleep in the back seat of the car.
Notice .... 1) Caleb has pulled both shoes off 2) the sunshade is falling off the window.

So angelic when he sleeps

Caleb, Lexi, & I went on a walk with the wagon.
When we got home Caleb wanted to walk Lexi on her leash.

Then Caleb got bored and let the leash go.

Fun Weekend (Away)

This past weekend was a lot of fun. My big sister (Jennifer) came into town and with our little sister (Jessica) we had a Sisters Weekend. We spent Saturday getting mani/pedis and shopping. It was a day full of fun and bonding. We spent the night out on the town and stayed at a local hotel (to be away from all the boys). It was a lot of fun. Question .... how do you get 3 women together for a weekend and end up with NO pictures?? Crazy, but true.

While I was gone on Saturday, Braden enjoyed the outdoors with Caleb and kept me updated on the workings of the Howell Boys while I was out.

Braden took Caleb to our Church's Family Day at the Park where they have a petting zoo along with llamas. Here is Caleb enjoying the animals.

After an afternoon at the park Caleb needed a snack

Then Caleb and Daddy played "hide & seek"

Can you find Caleb?

Later in the afternoon Caleb spent some time with Nana.

She got to show him off to one of her good friends who was in from out of town.

Two Friends with their Beautiful Grandsons

While Caleb was playing with Nana, Papa helped Braden install the swing Caleb got for his birthday. When Caleb got home, he got to try it out. He LOVED it.

When it was time for bed Caleb put on his pajamas and played with some toys.

Then he started to get sleepy

Sunday morning before Church Braden put Caleb in his bouncy seat while he showered.

Do YOU think our 1 year old is too big for his infant bouncy seat?

What else can you do with a 1 Year Old when you are trying to shower and get ready?

After Church I met up with my favorite boys for lunch. Caleb was being silly wearing Nana's sunglasses.

Last, but certainly not least, I had to share this photo.

This is a great example of what it is like to have a toddler in the house. I opened the refrigerator to take out my lunch for work. I turned around and Caleb was standing IN the frig and was throwing the bottled water on the floor.

He is SUCH a big helper.

Easter Weekend 2010

The Howell Trio spent the Easter Holiday Weekend in Pearland visiting my family. It was a packed house with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jen, Aunt Jes, Uncle Matt, Daddy, Caleb, Me, and 6 dogs. We had a great weekend enjoying the spring weather and eating lots and lots of Easter candy.

Caleb allowed Matt to play with some of his toys

Braden & Matt went to Main Event on Saturday while the girls took Caleb shopping.

Braden won Caleb this wonderful ball & bat.

He also won a whoopy cushion (not pictured)

Caleb's Easter Outfit

Stud Muffin in his white patent loafers

Is it a bad thing that Caleb's Easter outfit cost more than mine??

Caleb & Mommy

Before Easter lunch Uncle Matt, Caleb & Aunt Jessica played some catch with the bouncy ball.

We are not supposed to throw balls in the house, but they had fun breaking the rules.

I love his little smile

Caleb helped Daddy set the dining room table in preparation for Easter lunch

Who Stole My Bread??

Braden and I ordered some Cheesecake Factory for dinner one night last week. I turned my head and Caleb stole my wheat bread. But, he enjoyed it so much, that I let him keep it.

2 Future ZTAs are Born

Two of my dearest sorority sisters from college had baby girls recently. It is hard to believe that almost 10 yrs ago we started college, became Zetas, and became friends. Now we are all married and having babies. I have been looking forward to Caleb getting some new friends for quite a while. I am happy to report the Mommas & babies are home and doing well.

Congratulations Robin & Alicia!!
