Lumberjack Training

Everyone knows that one must begin training early if he wishes to become a lumberjack.  Our boy has shown a striking resemblance to a lumberjack, so we have decided to begin his tutelage now. 
The most important quality that distinguishes lumberjacks from lumberjack-wannabes is, of course, size.  He with the most height and width is the most likely to succeed in his battle with the towering trees.  To that end, we have begun supplementing our regular bottle feedings with a few solids.  While Caleb wasn't exactly sure what we were trying to do to him at first, he is now a future foodie and enjoys sweet potatoes and avocados. 

"What's happening to me?!"

"I guess that's not so bad..."

Before too long, a tall stack of pancakes dripping with maple syrup will be no match for this boy.
The second crucial aspect of lumberjack training is strength.  We have begun a strict regimen consisting of baby weight training and core strengthening.  When Caleb's not eating, he can be found working out at the jungle gym, lifting weights in his exersaucer, or practicing his tummy time.  All of his hard work is already paying off - he can already roll over by himself and stand (with us supporting him to keep his balance).

Soon, Caleb will be able to scale tall trees, wield a heavy ax, and traverse floating, spinning lumber with his eyes closed.  
The final, but equally important, component of successful lumberjack training is lots and lots of sleep.  Much to my great satisfaction, Caleb will now sleep 11 to 12 hours at night, with 2 to 3 naps during the day. 

Napping in Elvis costume and/or in Daddy's lap are optional. 
At this rate, our boy is well on his way to beginning his career as a lumberjack.  I guess we better start stocking up on flannel shirts.
