He's Got Skillz!

Today was the first full fledged college football Saturday that I've been able to enjoy from the comfort of my own home. As you can see from this first picture, Caleb was overwhelmed by the excitement and channeled his energy into this nap in which he was dead to the world.

When he did finally wake up, we enjoyed hanging out and working on Caleb's football skills. Back in July when we went to the first UM football practice of the year, one of the sponsors was giving away miniature nerf footballs which can be seen in the picture from that day. In honor of college football season, we gave him the football to play with. As with everything else, it was usually in or near his mouth, but did take the occasional break from chewing on the football to show off his mad football skills. He's got solid hands and he only fumbled a few times. We had a fun afternoon, but I'm looking forward to the day when he and I can wathch football together and I have the opportunity to teach about the game in some father/son bonding time.
