A-E-I-O-U

Caleb loves letters. Caleb especially loves vowels.

So when Caleb gets in the bath, this is what he does...immediately.

The other day, he actually took A-E-I-O-U to bed with him. At first, I thought maybe it wasn't such a hot idea. I mean, after all, they get wet all the time, they might be slimy. But then...

He gives me this smile, and it can be pretty hard to take the slimy vowels away.

Seth, age 4 years, singing Brown Bear, Brown Bear

This was his first experience with a Mac Book, where you can watch yourself as

you record a movie.

The hip circles give him a little trouble... but don't you wish you had this kind of energy?

Just a normal Sunday night...

WWF in the recliner...

And he's going down...

and comes right back for more...

Steve feeding Seth a bottle...

And surprise...

Caleb...

making mischief...

by putting a DVD in the fish tank.

He offered to climb in and get it...

How did you spend your Sunday night?

We're Makin' Cookies

That is what Steve and Seth sing on Saturday mornings when they partake in their new father-son tradition.

"We're Ma-kin' Coo-kies!"

A few Saturday's ago, Steve decided that he was going to make cookies from scratch with Seth. Their first attempt was oatmeal raisin.

Seth looks like the cooking equivalent of the mad scientist in this next picture...

He really loves that mixer!

The next Saturday, they made Thumbprint cookies. When Steve told me he was going to make these, I had never eaten one in my life. So I was a bit skeptical.

I am no longer skeptical. Yum-my. They are a shortbread type cookie with raspberry preserves in the middle.

They made peanut butter cookies a few Saturday's ago, but I didn't get any pictures. I am glad they have this fun new tradition to share together!

Dear Tristen

Dear Tristen,

Let's "take it to the next level" tonight, as Uncle Steve likes to say. You weigh almost 11 lbs now and have a double chin, so I bet we can go a 4 hour stretch tonight without having to eat.

What ya say?

Love,

Aunt Courtney
