Oops.

Ok, so I did it again. My entries have been scarce, but so has my spare time. You are a man on the move, Baby Caelan! You are "commando crawling" all over the place and very demanding for assistance with walking. You would like to by-pass crawling all together but I'm forcing you to keep trying. At just under 8 months old, you pulled yourself up to a standing position in your crib the other day ALL BY YOURSELF! I'm going to be in trouble soon; about to find out just how un-baby-proofed our house is. Yikes.

It is early February and the mid-winter blues are just starting to set in. This is usually the time of year when I want to curl up under a blanket and not come out until April. You do look awfully cute in your little snow-suit, though. Worrying about keeping you warm has helped me to forget how cold I am this winter, so that is a nice change! (Normally I avoid going out in the cold at all cost and practically run anywhere I have to go when outside in the winter because I so passionately despise being cold.) We also have a trip scheduled to visit Nana and Poppy in NC in two weeks, so that thought is keeping me warm as well. I'm also getting super excited for our trip to Hilton Head in July and find myself day-dreaming about biking around the Island with you in tow and enjoying the warm salty ocean breeze. *Sigh*

Ok... Nap time is just about over so I better take my last couple of moments here to eat something. One of my goals in the next month or so is to learn how to post video to this, if possible. I think it would be nice for you to be able to *see* all of these milestones that I write about. You are so freaking adorable right now and I can't possibly put it into words. :)
