Christmas 2007

Caleb had a wonderful first Christmas. Santa brought him so many fun new toys. Grammie and Pops bought him a Radio Flyer Pony and many floor toys to play with.Mommy and Daddy bought him a Leap Frog Activity Table a Tickle Me Elmo and a few other great things.

Caleb's Papa bought him a fun riding/push car. He loves to sit on and push with his feet.

This is Caleb's Chrsitmas outfit. He looked like a little newspaper boy. He was to darn cute in his little hat.

First Hair Cut

Caleb sat in his daddy's lap while Aunt Tiffanie cut his hair. She cut only the top and the sides. Mommy wanted to keep his curls in the back. Caleb did really well sitting still, he didn't even cry. He is such a big boy.

Christmas Pictures Coming Soon!

Pulling up

Caleb is learning how to pull himself up now. Mommy and Daddy bought him this new toy to help him. He is a little timid to take steps but that is sure to come.

Here I goDaddy is helping .

Yea, I did it!

Santa

Caleb had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Va with family and friends.

Caleb met Santa for the first time. He enjoyed sitting on his lap and playing with his beard.

Halloween

Tonight was Caleb's first Halloween. Caleb enjoyed getting dressed up in his turtle costume. Daddy carved a pumpkin and mommy handed out candy. Since there weren't many trick or treaters, mommy and daddy took Caleb for a walk around the neighborhood. By the end of the night Caleb was exhausted and was ready to get his costume off. Caleb hopes that Grayson and Dylan had fun dressing up and being silly in their costumes.

Ok, I know it's been to long. Caleb is 9 months old now. I can't believe how fast time is flying. On Friday, Caleb went for his Well Baby appt. He weighed in at 22 pounds and 8 ounce. He is 29 and 3/4 inches tall. His doctor says he is doing great but is surprised that he isn't crawling yet. She suggested that Caleb start eating table food and drinking from a sippy cup. We started all of that today at lunch. He does great holding his cup but would rather chew on it than drink out of it. The foods he is trying to eat are called Gerber Graduates. It's jarred fruits, veggies, and meat sticks. They are cut into small pieces and are very soft. Caleb mushes them with his gums and teeth, that is when he isn't gagging on them.

Month of July

The month of July has been a busy month for our little guy. He has learned and experienced so many new things. Caleb learned how to roll from his back to his stomach while we were on vacation for the Fourth.

Caleb went to his first annual Myrtle Beach vacation. Not only did he enjoy the water and sand, he swam with the sharks at the aquarium.

When we got home from our family vacation, Caleb began learning how to sit up when mommy would place him on his butt on the floor. He's doing much better now than he was in this picture.

A few weeks ago mommy and daddy went to Babies R Us and bought him his very own highchair. He loves to sit in it and eat his fruit and veggies and play with toys on the tray.

This past weekend Caleb learned how to get his toes in his mouth. He also started using a seat in the bathtub instead of his baby tub.

Marino Family

Hey everyone,

So, this is my first time writing. As you all know, Lucas and I live in South Carolina with our son Caleb. Caleb is now six months old and is getting bigger everyday. I hope I will be able to keep this up to keep everyone update on the life and times of the Marino family. We are leaving this Friday for Va. Lucas is going out to sea so Caleb and I will be there until he gets back in October. Hope to see everyone soon. Take Care.
