8 years of Caleb

It's amazing how quickly eight years can go by. Caleb is growing up into a wonderful young man. He loves school and is still pretty smart for his age. He's a good friend and always wants to help (at least at school -- at home is a different story).

My little boy has a heart for Jesus and sometimes asks his friends if they know who He is. Caleb has also invited friends to iGnite at church so they can learn more about God.

About a year ago, we introduced Caleb to Star Wars and he's been a fanatic ever since. His favorite thing to do is build Star Wars ships and make lightsabers. He's actually quite talented when it comes to building things and artistic stuff.

My favorite thing about Caleb is his cute smile and his snuggles. He's never too old to give his mom a hug. Also, he LOVES to be tickled. So it's fun to get him giggling. I can't wait to see what another year holds for my dear, sweet boy.

It's kind of fun to see how Caleb has changed over the years -- so here's a glimpse of him at every age:
