A busy January - Part I

As Landon has gotten a bit older (2 months last Saturday) and some of the novelty of having a little brother has worn off for Caleb, I feel like our lives have gotten even busier and more hectic than they were a month ago.  January has been and will continue to be a very busy month for us:  Jimmy's sister April got married last weekend in San Diego, Jimmy's birthday is today but he is home in Lodi working, and then this coming weekend my brother Joey is getting married in Temecula.  I feel like there are several more things going on that my brain is just too tired to remember right now...  :S 

Auntie April and Uncle Ben's Wedding in San Diego:

Jimmy, Caleb and I were all in the wedding, with Caleb supposedly helping Cole (Ben's nephew) pull the wagon with Tessa and Stella (Ben's niece) inside.  This was Caleb's first time at a wedding, and other than than being awake from 6:30am until 8:30pm with NO NAP, he had a lot of fun running around at the reception and dancing with everyone. 

Getting dressed for the wedding.  Yes, he is in the hotel lobby.

Caleb sees mommy up front...  He didn't exactly stick to the plan of helping Cole pull the wagon either... he wandered off to the opposite side of everyone else.

Doesn't he look handsome??

The week in Newport Coast:
Between the two weddings my mom and I are spending the week in Newport near my brothers.  We haven't really done anything big, just hanging out and it has been nice to get to see my brothers, Dana, Deacon, and Lindsey more this week, too!

Hangin' out by the pool at Uncle Joey and Aunt Aly's hotel - Our one-hour window of free time on Friday before wedding rehearsal and Caleb arriving the next day

Deacon (or 'Deek', as Caleb calls him) is learning to give kisses

Kisses for brother!

The fun big bath tub at our hotel, and bubbles!

'Mowing' our hotel room after our bath

Touchdown!!!

Cute little sleepy-poo

This was the closest I could come to getting a smile from Caleb - he was so into watching the other (older) kids playing with the chess set that he hardly made any expressions, just taking it all in!

We also stumbled up the hotel's arcade room.  Its great that at this age, Caleb was totally content just pushing buttons and sitting on the games...  he doesn't realize that the machines do more, so it didn't cost me a dime! :)

We can see the green from one hole of a golf course from our hotel balcony, so Caleb has just learned what golf carts are.  When we saw this extra-long one that belongs to the hotel Caleb had to jump on, push buttons, and explore.  Again, just taking it all in, so he wasn't giving any smiles

Cheap thrills:  We took a ride on the Balboa Island Ferry today.  Tons of boats docked, airplanes taking off overhead, and a helicopter up above to look at, as well as some seals barking in the background
