Caleb is Three!
Posted by Jeri on July 30, 2010
Well, we ought to be partied out by now. We just celebrated Caleb’s 3rd birthday on July 22, 2010, which followed Elizabeth’s 1st in June and Hannah’s 5th earlier this month.
It seems like just yesterday I was at a wedding on my due date with everyone watching me as if I were a ticking time bomb. Thankfully, he waited to erupt the next day – and even had the courtesy to give me a few hours of sleep after the reception before I went into labor. I don’t think I’ll ever forget Trevor and Sarah’s wedding and the little blessing that arrived less than a full day later.
Caleb has brought an unbelievable amount of energy to our home over the last three years. He has one of those magnetic personalities and seems to draw people to him. We are so thankful for him – orneriness and all! His sisters adore him.
Spaghetti is always a fun meal at our house.
I especially adore Caleb’s loving nature. He’s so cuddly, but loves to wrestle and be tickled. I love when he comes in the kitchen and says, “That sure smells like some good dinner, Mom.” Always nice to have someone appreciate your cooking. 
He was more than happy to lick the bowl for the chocolate icing I made for his birthday cake.
A chocolaty mess!
He is usually running around, jumping off things, and playing with his sisters (and its hard to catch him in a photo!), but he also loves to be read to, do puzzles, and watch Dora.
We invited a few friends over for lunch and cake to celebrate his third birthday with us. I didn’t realize until the party got started that he was the only boy! Apparently we just don’t know too many little boys. (I’m praying that’ll make him an amazing husband someday.)
Happy 3rd Birthday, Caleb!
Happy Birthday, Big Boy Caleb!
