Button, button, who's got the button?

It's time for another photo dump!

Caleb is really into buttons these days, so whether we're at the zoo or any of the wonderful children's museums here in Boston, he gravitates towards the buttons (even if the associated exhibit is broken). He played with the one at the zoo for fifteen minutes (that was one of the broken ones). I was starting to lose my sanity.

And he's started climbing. Fortunately he is only into going up, not down. We're hoping that translates into not crawling (and falling) out of the crib any time soon. Several times I walked out of the room only to return and find Caleb in unexpected places. (Please note that I was ready to catch him in both of these pictures.)

There are a lot of awesome parks near our house. Caleb loves them (especially the water). His love of playgrounds has survived in spite of a run-in with a crazy four-year-old girl who tried to squeeze him to death before I could get to him. We saw her at the park again a week later from 20 feet away and Caleb completely froze and clung to my leg in terror. 

Aaron humored me and let me dress him and Caleb in matchy-matchy clothes. (The sacrifice of dignity counted as one of my birthday presents.)

We went to the Museum of Science and visited the little space pod. Caleb's shadow is standing at attention!

Went on a date night to Ben & Jerry's and World War Z courtesy of Valerie! I always hope seeing a good old fashioned zombie apocalypse movie will jump start my emergency preparedness efforts.

I found a stowaway, (or should I say MANY stowaways?!?) in my Amazon box. There was a webbed pouch that contained a live spider and her egg sac. Sick. They gave me 10% off what was in the box, but frankly, I think that did not fully compensate for the emotional trauma.

And here's a bonus picture with no explanation.
