March 2005

Finally we moved on from a film camera to a digital camera in 2005. I remember dragging my feet not wanting to go with digital for some reason but I'm glad I finally switched. So much easier to deal with digital photos!

We'll start with video from March 3, 2005 with Matt and Kaleb playing.

 Kaleb was so excited to suck on this nectarine pit.

One weekend Matt's brother John was in town and he slept on the bed in Kaleb's room so we put Kaleb in the hallway in our room so that he wouldn't bother John.

This is at Sunday dinner at my grandparents house. It had been a long time since we needed a high chair at Sunday dinner until Kaleb came along.

As soon as Kaleb would hear the shower turn on he would run in and open the curtain and stand there trying to get his hand in the water. He would always be pretty wet after from getting splashed on but he loved it. As he got older he would try to climb into the tub fully clothed to join in on your shower.

I remember this night very well because right after this picture was taken Kaleb knocked over a bowl of really hot egg drop soup onto his lap and was screaming. We were with friends at one of the restaurants where they cook in front of you and as soon as they lit the onion pyramid on fire or anything else on fire Kaleb started crying.

After church we decided to take some pictures. I always loved dressing Kaleb up for church. I was in the young women's in our ward and we had a small group of girls but they were awesome. I loved my calling. Matt was the financial clerk and then ward clerk the whole time we were in that ward.

He was always so happy!

He loved eating and here he stuffed a full peanut butter cracker sandwich in his mouth.

Matt's parents were in town and we went up to the This is the Place Heritage Park to look around.

Kaleb loved eating spaghetti noodles and slurping them up.

As he became more mobile he would get into everything. He loved pushing the buttons on electronics and getting into the drawers in the kitchen.

He was also the only child we put toilet locks on for. Ashton and Olivia also went through a phase where they would try to play in the toilet but Kaleb was obsessed with it and just in case we forgot to close the door to the bathroom we put locks on them to make sure he couldn't get into them. Seeing the toilet paper unraveled makes me laugh because Olivia still does that right now.

I always heard people say with their first they were so good about getting pictures taken and with each kid it was less and less. I told myself I wouldn't do that and would make sure to get pictures taken with all my kids. With Kaleb we went every 3 months for the first year and then 6 months and yearly after that. With Ashton we went every 6 months for the first 2 years and then we weren't so good about it since Kaleb started getting pictures taken at school and it was one more thing to do. Poor Olivia, I took her newborns and then we have her pictures from our family photo sessions at 8 months and just over a year but nothing just for her. But I make up for it by taking lots of pictures even if they aren't taken in a studio! So I guess I ended up following the trend like many other parents!

Here are some of Kaleb's 9 month pictures.
