Two More Rounds of Photos

Here are two new albus. The first album is from our three days in Charleston, including the trip to Fort Sumter. The second album is from Wrightsville Beach and a little excursion to Wilmington.

April Vacation

We have started our trek down to South Carolina. On the way we spent a night in Connecticut and are now in Rocky Mount, NC. Yesterday on our way here we stopped in Washington DC and took these photos
April Vacation I


Kaleb was a trooper and despite being in the car for about 10 hours he handled it relatively well. Part of this was helped along by the new portable DVD player we bought last week. Despite our reservations about Kaleb watching so much television, it seems to be a necessary evil for these long trips.

Today we will be driving the rest of the way to Charleston, which is about four and a half hours away from here. Then we get to settle in for a couple of days.

First Day at the Theatre

We ponied up a bunch of money and paid for three seats to the Thomas & Friends Live Show at the Citi Performing Arts Center formerly known the Wang Center. It was Kaleb's first time at the theatre and it went very well. He didn't seem to follow everything that went on, but at the same time he didn't once request to go home. We were both very proud of him.

He has been such a big boy lately, from the constant talking to the running around and stubborness. Yesterday we left him at Brendan's house and one of the first things he asked upon getting there was, "Where are the kitties?" This is weird because it had been nearly a year since he was last at his apartment. Sometimes his memory really freaks me out.

Time to watch The Office.

Big Night for the Little Man

After learning a couple days ago that Kaleb could lift his leg up over the crib rail we decided to move him towards the direction of a big boy bed. So tonight we took his mattress out of his crib and put it on the floor. He was pretty overwhlmed by the newness, but went right to sleep. Now we need to see what happens when he wakes up in the middle of the night. His door is shut so we aren't to worried about him leaving the room, my guess is that he will stay right in bed until we come check on him.

Two Kaleb Moments

We woke up this morning and Kaleb asked for the iPhone. Now he has been using the iPhone in some capacity for at least six months now. He started by using some fun kid apps that played animal sounds, and then figured out how to slide and unlock. This morning he put together the following actions: Hit home button, slid to unlock, swiped to the third home screen, tapped the new "Wheels on the Bus" app, tapped the bunny to make it jump, dragged the hat up to reveal the bunny, hit the next screen arrow and swiped the bus to make it go, navigated to the wipers screen and swiped back and forth to make the wipers clean the window of rain. Its amazing how easy to use a computer device can be when it only requires a couple simple touch gestures.

The other moment was during my shower. Usually in the morning Kaleb randomly wanders around the upstairs unattended while I take a shower, Jennifer says I am brave, perhaps I am just over-confident in Kaleb. Most days he stays in the bathroom and other days I holler for him and eventually clamor around dripping wet and in just a towel to find him quietly playing away in a different room. There are the occasional freak outs like when he was standing on top of the headboard of the guest bedroom bed looking out the window. Today was one of the days he stayed in the bathroom. I heard him playing with toys and the next thing I know there is a magnetic fishing rod sticking through the shower curtain with a starfish hanging off it. Two minutes later and the rod sticks through again with a crab. Crazy kid. Then he insisted on splashing in the puddle left over from my shower.
