Caleb @ 2 years old

Our two year old Caleb brings our family so much joy. He is a happy boy and makes us all smile. He is super friendly, polite, and not at all shy. He will repeat a lot of what we say and is talking well for his age. Caleb loves reading, music, dancing and riding his trike/bike. His favorite movies are Cars, the Lorax, and Monsters University. He has been into Lighting McQueen for a long time now. He also likes Thomas trains, Diego, and Word World.

Our little Caleb did not get his first hair cut until he was about 18 months old. Mom was afraid his beautiful curls would never come back, but they did. He has the best hair in the family.

Quite often Caleb will do the opposite of what Mom asks and his grandparents say that's what I get for challenging the boundries with them too. He is at an age we really need to watch him because he can be doing something dangerous or naughty pretty quickly if we aren't watching. He made it to the ER once, for falling off the play set in our backyard and got 3 stitches in the back of his head. He also fell while running at the Science Center and had to get his forehead glued and steri-stripped after his little sunglasses cut his forehead. We also may have some marker on walls and carpets after not watching close enough.

Caleb likes talking to anyone on the phone-- including his relatives and gram. He also loves babies and always is looking in people's strollers and wanting to see and hold babies.  Caleb likes to paint and loves water whether it's the beach, pool, or bath tub.

Brendan and Caleb play a lot and they usually get along. Caleb has memorized a lot of his favorite books and he finishes the sentences from memory when we read. He also knows a lot of his letters and numbers already.

I love when people ask Caleb his name, he will respond with his full name, Caleb Andrew Camp. He will be going to pre-school next fall and we have started working on potty training but are not pushing it. He can do it, just not 100% of the time yet.

Caleb has a sweet tooth too. He loves anything sugary and will come running for sweets if offered. We don't give them a lot, but it is funny when he ignores me then I say galleta and he comes booking into the kitchen. He and his brother know some Spanish and use it when we communicate.

Caleb is a lighter sleeper and a bit of a night owl. He can be a challenge to get to bed but once he's asleep usually sleeps through the night. He also is still taking naps for a couple hours each afternoon and it pretty good about going down.

Our neighbors think Caleb is so cute. He and Emma across the street are around the same age and look like they could be related. He is really cute with her and the other kids in the neighborhood, always giving hugs-- he is a great hugger and cuddler. He is a social boy and very friendly to people he meets. Every day when we pick up Brendan at school he lets the crossing guard know, "He's going to pick up his brother."

Caleb constantly melts my heart and is the most precious little boy. He makes all of us so happy and is a joy to have around. We are very lucky to watch such an amazing kid grow up!
