Que Lindo

Que Lindo. That's Caleb's new Spanish nickname. It means "how cute." Several Spanish members at church come up to him and say that. It took a while to understnd what they were saying, so we finally asked someone and he exlained what it means. Ever since then, we've been able to overhear total strangers say it as they pass by and glance at Caleb. He still gets a lot of attention and may people will use the phrase as they pass by. Today, we were out to lunch with some good friends from church and one them had a visitor and she also said "que lindo" when she was talking to Caleb. So we decided that that just might have to be his new nickname.

This afternoon, after Mom and Caleb took a long nap, we took a drive around town before heading to the church building for a worship service and fellowship meal. One of our stops was at Baptist Hospital where Caleb was born. The hospital has a duck pond in front of the building and I like to head over there whenever we have old bread to feed the ducks and the Ibis. So we stopped by today. The birds are very used to people and will crowd around my very tightly in large numbers. So Mom and Caleb stayed on a bench away from all the commotion. After all of my bread was gone, a couple of birds wandered over to Mom and Caleb to see if they had anything to offer. Caleb was watching those birds very intently.

After we returned home from church this evening, I had the opportunity to change Caleb's diaper. Since it was close to bath time, I didn't put any clothes back on him. It was close to bath time, so Mom considered an early bath, but he was pretty wired up, so Mom decided to spend a few minutes playing with him before the bedtime routine. We brought a quilt into the living room for him to lay on as well as one of his rattles. This quilt is part of the decorations in the nursery. Since you aren't supposed to put babies in a
crib with any kind of blanket, it seems rather frivolous. So we started using it tonight as a floor quilt. Caleb had a fun time rolling around on the ground wrestling with his crocodile
rattle before getting a bath and finally going to bed.
