Determination

For Christmas Caleb received a set of "nesting" balls from his Uncle Chris and Aunt Sue. They stack, they rattle, and they are multi-colored. They are everything a five-month-old boy could ever want.

Now that Caleb is sitting up fairly well he is eager to test the waters by reaching out and grabbing toys around him.

I am amazed at how often he is successful in grabbing said toys. But I guess that shows just how badly Caleb wants them in his mouth.

Sometimes he tips over while reaching for these toys. Once again, his strength is remarkable. He can catch himself and sit himself back upright.

His eyes are on the prize. This kid is forming opinions quickly and he knows what he wants.

And when he doesn't get what he wants there's a price to pay.
