New Washing Machine...not that we need it!

Not that we need it (HA HA)...but finally after 3 years of off-and-on leaking, we broke down and bought a new washing machine! Hooray! With these three there's really no hope of getting all the clothes clean, but at least now we can barely keep up with the flow of dirty clothes to put on something clean in the morning.

Caleb has really taken to feeding himself. His favorite foods are the ones that he can squish through his fingers, rub into his hair, and drop on the kitchen floor. He loves strawberries and spaghetti (is it coincidence that they both stain everything?).

We are all thankful for our newly remodeled kitchen, but I think that Caleb enjoys it most! After he creates a minefield across the kitchen floor of slimey bananas, berries, and other assorted unrecognizable food stuffs, he can't wait for his cleanup. We pick him up out of his booster seat and he lunges for the sink (it is difficult to remove his messy clothes and diaper with all of his eager efforts to kick his way there). Basically it is a baby hot tub. He loves to splash and play in it. Usually at least one, if not both of his brothers get in on it. They love Caleb and water, so bathtime can get pretty crowded . . . and wet. The silver lining is that the floor gets mopped almost every night.
