Caleb likes the pool., originally uploaded by alyson_olander.

Two years old, can you believe it? For his birthday we had a little gathering at my mom's community pool with lunch and cupcakes and swimming. That afternoon, unfortunately, he got quite sick - we think it was a tummy bug that has been making the rounds of our household.

On Monday he had his 2 year doctor's appointment; he is 32 lbs and 38 inches tall - I don't grown 'em small, you know. Also on Monday he started at his new daycare which he will be at for 2 days/week until mid-August, when he will switch to full time. He seems to really love it there. He's such a social creature, he thrives with other kids around. I am very grateful for that. On Monday & Tuesday when I picked him up, they were in the middle of singing time and it took him a good few minutes to even notice that I was there.

When he is looking for us he yells "Oh, Moooooooooooooommy!", "Oh, Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddy!" until he finds whomever he is looking for, and then pronounces "Oh, Mommy." or "Oh, Daddy." with a little sigh. "Oh" is his shortened version of "Hello", but even knowing that, it is still the cutest thing EVER.
