Father's Day Project

For Jarred's first Father's Day, I wanted to do something unique-you only have your 1st Father's Day once, so I wanted to make it memorable for both Jarred and I.  For Caleb's gift to Daddy, I got some washable paint and some canvases and well, stripped Caleb down to his diaper and just let him have fun with the paint.  I thought Caleb would get really into it like he does with splashing the water at bath time.  Not the case, but he was still very curious about the paint and made a masterpiece for his Daddy.  I also made one canvas with his footprints on it; we tried the hand prints, but Caleb kept trying to grab which doesn't make for a print at all, more of a glob.  Oh well, it was fun and one of our friends, Sarah, helped out with the pictures and trying to foot print Caleb.  Definitely needed the extra hands or I would have had to strip down to a bathing suit to participate!  A strange site indeed for the front lawn.

A side note, but a big note-Caleb started crawling that afternoon after painting!  Maybe he was sick of his Mommy making him do crazy things and just wanted to get where "he wanted to go."  It was so fun watching Caleb crawl for the first time though.  Of course, as some suspected he would, Caleb first started crawling after Penny and her toy!  Caleb is certainly a happier boy now that he can move and get places.  We have to watch him like a hawk though because we are not all "baby-proofed" yet.  We were hoping to sell the house before we had to baby proof and start fresh with a baby proofed house to start.  Keep praying our house sells this month-we are getting worried and having to research other options.
