Caleb the Firefighter

Caleb went on a field trip to a fire station a few weeks ago with his preschool. Prior to heading out, all the kids got to dress up as a firefighter. We then talked about some safety tips, calling 911, and "stop, drop, and roll."

At the fire station, the kids got their very own fire hat, they got to climb in a fire truck, and even hold the water hose as it sprayed water!

They got to see a real firefighter dressed up and ready to fight a fire.

And finally they got to try on a real fireman's jacket. They all had a great time!

Caleb's Room

Caleb's room has been a work-in-progress for some time now because we couldn't find a Cars border that we liked. In the end we painted a road instead, but I like the way it turned out. I love the red, black and white combo. We'll see what if we can find some peel and stick cars to put on the road. My mom did the bed skirt, quilt, and valence over the window for Caleb's birthday.

Comparing

I love comparing my two boys' stats. Carter had his 6 month check-up today. He was 20 1/2 lbs. (90th percentile) and 27 inches (68th percentile). Caleb was almost 18 lbs (50th percentile) and 26 inches tall (30th percentile). Carter definitely favors me with his paler skin and blue eyes. Caleb favors his dad with tanner skin and brown eyes. Carter looks like he'll have a bigger build (from me) and Caleb will probably be on the smaller end like his dad. Carter also had his first two teeth pop in within the last 3 days. Caleb didn't have his first tooth until he was 9 months old.
