sippy cup and other big boy stuff

caleb has had quite the start to 2008. not only have we moved, but he now drinks from a sippy cup (mommy's personal favorite), likes the idea of using a spoon himself (he doesn't actually get anything in his mouth, but it's a start), waves bye-bye, can indicate more and mine ("muh, muh"), and no ("ne, ne, ne"). caleb also enjoys climbing...anything. right now, i take a few of the cushions off of the couch and he crawls all over them for awhile before he moves onto climbing onto the couch. he can reach where the cushions are missing. still no walking on his own, but he can. once he realizes that you have freed your hand from his, he takes 2 steps, and then sits down...funny little guy. we're just waiting for caleb to decide he wants to do it by himself. in the meantime, his favorite game will remain running after jack while pushing his lion. it's good clean fun for everyone, except jack.
