March 10

I'm going to give you fair warning now:

I am about to post way too many pictures for today. If that will annoy you, you can go play on Facebook or something.

Caleb and I were playing on the couch this afternoon, and he was so funny and cooperative that I just kept taking pictures. (By the way, I often thank him for being so cooperative, and he tries to say it back. It sounds like "top-a-tif", and I love it.)

He started our photo shoot with some deep thinking.

But the deep thinking turned into face-squishing, which cracked me up!

Then, since March IS hat month, after all, Caleb turned my super-cute new scarf (Thanks, Grace!) into a hat.

He loves to play with this scarf, especially because it has fringe. And sparkly sequins. And it's kind of see-through, so he can cover his head with it and run around without bumping into things. (Sorry, I didn't get a photo of that. I was too busy laughing.)

How cute is he? Whenever he wears this shirt (a gift from my Aunt Deb), he pets the doggie's face and says, "Doggie. Soft. Scarf."

What a funny little man!

Now that he's in the bigger-kid classrooms at church and MOPS, Caleb has started learning songs about Jesus. Lately, when we pray before a meal or at bedtime, he'll ask for a "Jesus Song". We've started singing "Jesus Loves Me" a lot, and Caleb sometimes tries to sing, too. At this point, he can only muster, "Yes, Jesus! Yes, Jesus! Yes, Jesus!", but it melts my heart. Today I realized that as much as it melts my heart, it must make God even happier to hear a sweet little baby singing those words.

Also today, we were singing "Jesus Loves Me" in the car. I got to the line where "they are weak, but He is strong." In my rearview mirror, I saw Caleb's little arms shoot straight up in the air as he shouted, "Muscles!" And then I died laughing. The end.
