first beach trip!

well, we survived our first beach trip! it definitely was not our typical beach trip but we had a good time and beautiful weather! Caleb ate all the sand he could handle, hated the ocean, kinda liked the outdoor pool and really, really loved the heated indoor pool! this was the first beach trip Dan and i didn't come home looking like lobsters! here are a few pics! enjoy!

the 26th!

26 is an important number at the hammer household!

june 26th is dan's birthday
april 26th is our wedding anniversary
august 26th is Cal's birthday (also in labor for 26 hours! whew!)

anywho... i took some pictures to celebrate our 2nd anniversary and Cal's 8 month birthday! hope you like, they were quite the challenge!

enjoy!

Baby Cal has the blues!

or at least some rhythmic moves!



sorry for the sideways video!

6 months!

Where has the time gone?!?! Sweet Cal is already 6 months!

He is always moving, but loves to cuddle!

He is starting to wave and just loves Lola!

He has a natural mohawk and an adorable mini-dimple inside a dimple!

He is such a bundle of engery and the love of my life!

We love you!

monkey see, monkey do

i taught him something....

boys are born men...

sometimes the ONLY thing that makes Caleb happy is having a remote in his hand! guess some things never change :) i figured this out at around 4 this morning! ahhh!

that is all... new pictures coming soon! including his first daddy-made haircut!

mmmm....food!

Caleb has been eating food for about a month now! Loved the rice cereal and now loves pears, sweet potatoes, and bananas (his favorite!). As soon as he takes a bite, he is opening his mouth for more! Daddy and I sing "Yummy, Yummy, I've got sweet potatoes in my tummy!" when he eats and he laughs and laughs! Here is my sweet baby eating rice cereal for the first time. Notice, not much made it in....
