Dear Caleb,

Photobucket

Eight months. Has it really been 8 whole months? Will I say this every month? Will time always fly this fast?

Photobucket

You've decided to begin exploring the world by way of army-crawl. Which is a near constant reminder of my carelessness at keeping fuzz off the floor.

Photobucket

Watching you discover the world brings so much joy to my heart.

Photobucket

Your smile. Your dimple. Your amazingly blonde hair. It makes my heart flutter. The Lord is so good to me.

Photobucket

Your ear-piercing squeal. It makes me crazy. Soon enough, it'll be replaced with "MAMA!" Until then, I'll learn to enjoy the screams.

Sweet Caleb Turner Chancler.
Nugget, as your sister has dubbed you.
Won't you please stay 8 months old just a little longer?

So sweet! Everyone says that each stage is the best but really, I can't imagine stages beating this one- the smell of baby head, the little smiles, the inability to be totally destructive or disrespectful. What's not to love?! I'm loving 9 months!

If your passports never make it back and you have to live with us indefinitely, I'll go ahead and say when y'all are sad about it, my sympathy will be a lie. Can't wait to see that Nugget in person!

He is so precious! And, your pics are great! Thanks for helping to "keep us up" on him! If you enjoy this stage so much--you will enjoy each stage.

I just realized he is wearing the onesie we gave him! How fun!

Thanks for reminding me to not miss a thing. I get in a rut of survival and need to be reminded of how fast the 1st year goes. :)
