Its been a long while... and I'll probably miss some key/cute things that have happened, but I'll do my best...
First a scary one... the Monday before we went to PA, I took the boys to this neat Kid's Beach (Seaside Lagoon) in Redondo Beach with some friends.
Unfortunately, while there, we had a heart-stopping experience when I looked up from settling Aidan in the sand, to see Caleb tripping in the knee deep water. He choked on several mouthfuls before I got to him (he was too panicked to regain his footing). He was okay, but quite shaken, as was I... For the rest of the day, he didn't want much to do with the water. And has been talking about the incident repeatedly ever since. "I fall in the water"... We remind him that he was just like Captain Feathersword in his video, and that mommy was right there, and that he was okay... I think reinventing the memory has started to help... And yesterday, he actually went swimming with Uncle Andy and loved it... So that was a huge relief...

He had a lot of fun there and still asks for them almost daily, even for Chewy.
A few new things he started saying... "See you Later", "How you doing?" (sounding a lot like Joey from friends) (and when you respond and ask him how he's doing, he says "doing good".) One fave new word is "interesting". And he has started randomly breaking into the "if you're happy and you know it" song...
He LOVED being the center of attention for his birthday! He adored being sung to, and still sings the happy birthday song to himself now and then. He loved opening presents, eating cupcakes, etc... what a party animal!
Grandma Joy took him to see a bunch of Harley Motorcycles, which excited him to no end, and last night, he got to sit on several motorcycles at Andy's house.
