September 12

We are so glad to be home.

It was really fun seeing our Iowa family, but there is nothing like a 2-hour nap in your own bed. (Not that I did that today...)

While I napped, my boys played. It really wasn't a fair trade-off for Chris, since he did all of the driving yesterday, but if he was willing to play with Caleb so that I could nap, I wasn't going to ask twice.

Here's some of the fun they had:

Chris was blowing kisses on Caleb's belly, while Caleb held onto an empty mouthwash bottle.

(I know. We should buy the kid some real toys. But if Baby wants trash, Baby gets trash.)

Caleb is really into nose-honking right now.

After the wedding in Iowa, Caleb was passed from relative to relative. Each time he got passed, he promptly reached up, grabbed the new nose, and waited patiently. Each time, we had to explain that he was waiting for that person to make a honking noise.

He did this at least 5 times in a row.

He must be a pretty winning baby, because every person willingly made a nice honking sound.
