3 Teeth, Pulling up, Clapping and Crawling like Crazy!

WOW! What a crazy few weeks it has been since I posted last. In the last two weeks alone, Caleb has had two more teeth come through, he pulled himself up to standing for the first time when he had just turned 7 months old (about two weeks ago), he just began clapping for the first time too, and he is crawling around like a champ now! Whew...it is hard to keep up with the little guy! This is such an exciting time in our family! So here are a TON of pictures of everything that has been going on.

So here is the first picture we took the day after his 2nd tooth popped through (you can see it there on the left), and just this past Sunday, tooth #3 came through (it was his top right front tooth).

No more toothless grins anymore! :)

Now onto the pulling up. This picture was taken about a month ago when Caleb first started trying to pull up on things (like his bumbo chair here).

And here he was about two weeks ago, this was the very first time he pulled himself up to standing on his book basket (we quickly ran to get the camera...luckily, he hadn't learned how to get down yet, so he was standing there for a little while! Ha ha!)

Here's the first video we got of him pulling himself up on his leapfrog table. It takes him a little while to do it, so be sure to watch until the end! Now when he does it (for instance we were playing on it last night) he will pull right up and stay standing by himself for like 15 minutes at a time. I wonder when he will try to let go! :)

So basically anything Caleb can pull himself up on, he will try to do so. Yesterday at a playdate he was trying to pull up on another baby! I stopped him of course...but totally funny! Here he pulled himself up on the bumbo for real this time.

On the car seat...

In the crib...(which we have now lowered by the way!)

Trying the coffee table one day...

Mastering it the next!

Another time on the book basket...

And he can't reach the top of the chairs or the couch yet by himself, but I'm sure he will soon! Here we stood him up and he was showing us how well he stands by himself. He is becoming a climbing machine. I guess that is our future having a boy huh?

Ok, so now onto the clapping. We haven't gotten it on video yet, so we had to take a few pictures to get the effect. I think now we are going to work on teaching him to wave "bye-bye"!

And finally here are some cute shots of Caleb just hanging out one day. Grammy and Pops got him the "Prepster" hat and the sneakers; we were just playing around one day trying them on and thought he looked adorable.

Here's his first time in the umbrella stroller that Grandma got him!

I almost forgot, here's one last video to end this post of another time Caleb was crawling recently, for those of you who have asked to see more of that. Enjoy!
