Caleb's 4th birthday

"Mum.....Dad....is it my birthday today?" Caleb had snuck into our bed a few minutes earlier and was waiting for the chance to ask us. "Yes it is...." "WOOHOO!" Straight from there Caleb ran down the hallway to Grandma's room were we brought in his pressies and he started ripping them open one by one.
Caleb had a big pile of pressies to get through and the smile on his face was permanently beaming.

His big present from Grandma was a cricket set and Caleb was keen to give it a test run at the park as soon as he could. So, after a quick breakfast we headed down to Glebe Park.


The picture of concentration as Caleb did his best to blast the ball out of the park. There were a couple of freshies as he swung and missed but he soon got his eye in and hit the ball all over.

He still needs to work on keeping his eye on the ball....

Just as determined with the ball in hand, Caleb enjoyed bowling at full pace to try get grandma, mum and dad out.


To round off his love for the game, Caleb did a great Boucher impersonation and played wicket keeper. All he needs to do is learn some sledging now!

Some of the Baumgartner cricket team.

Caleb's big pressie from us was a scooter and during the drinks break in the cricket, he zoomed around the park on his new wheels.


Later in the afternoon, Caleb had his cousins, Uncle Simon, Pat, V and Levi over for some birthday cake and some fun around the house. A full day of birthday fun!
