Almost 10 months

New overalls

We love Cal's new overalls so he's worn them a lot this week. (and those are currently the only shorts that fit him)

Standing

Calvin's latest things are standing, clapping and waving. The other day when I finished reading a book Calvin started clapping. I felt like I must have read really well. And when we were watching the end of Rudy last night Calvin was half falling asleep in my lap and everyone on TV was cheering really loud and Calvin started clapping too. Funny boy.

Musical talents

9 months

New toy

Brandon brought home a ball for Calvin and he couldn't get enough of it. I've never seen him so excited about a toy.

Chubby cheeks

Birthday Surprise

For Heather's birthday we went to a surprise breakfast. It was really fun to see her reaction, I was proud of us for being good liars.

I think Calvin looks really good in my hat.

Computer Time

Day in the life of Cal

Playing with toys...
wandering around looking for mischief...
spying some paper!...
really excited Mom is letting him play with the paper... trying to eat the apple...then Mom takes away the paper...that's okay, because there's something better...kleenex!!...
Mom puts him back on the floor with his toys.

Hippo rides

Calvin loves us slowly pushing him back and forth on his hippo. I'm not sure why it's entertaining, but whatever works.

8 months

New hat, swingin & eatin

The foggy picture is the humidifier, he loves it.

Waving

We made some videos to send to Brandon when he was out of town and this one was pretty cute because it looks like he is waving at the camera. Really he is just trying to grab the camera cord.

Funny boy

These pictures are when Calvin needed a diaper change right before we were leaving someplace, so this is what he was wearing for a few minutes:

Calvin gets pretty excited about pulling himself onto things, ie: the couch, the crib, the entertainment center, me, you get the idea.
