Camera practice

Calvin loves playing with the webcam. Brandon and I gave him tips on making faces for pictures and here are some samples (sorry some are blurry) :

Merry Christmas again

This was awhile ago, but worth sharing. Since Calvin's first Santa experience was kind of lame, my uncle dresses up as an awesome Santa and made a special appearance when we went to their house for some post-Christmas visiting. It started out rough, but after a little time and some candy, Calvin was laughing by the end. I think this is quite the stare from Calvin:

New outfit

This is an outfit Calvin got for Christmas, which I love. Calvin doesn't share the same feelings, however. He threw a fit for 20 minutes after I put it on him. He kept pulling on the sleeves trying to get it off. I tried to explain to him that he was wearing a shirt like daddy. I don't know if it helped. Hopefully he'll do better next time, because I didn't get enough pictures. This might be seen on his cousin in the near future.

Christmas morning

The basketball hoop was a hit, at times a little distracting to the presents he was trying to open that were always "guck" (stuck) or other words, they were taped.


here he is sucking on the bottle (still in the package) that came with his doll:Then he fed the baby the bottle:Then it was his turn again:Calvin saying "ho,ho,ho!"Merry Christmas!

Gingerbread Day

See if you can tell which ones Calvin created all by himself:

more corners

Here's a couple more pictures of Calvin in time out that were pretty funny. Can you tell Calvin just got out of his high chair?In the next one Calvin was babbling and bouncing up and down while in time out. Brandon quietly ran to get the camera hoping to catch his cuteness in action without being noticed. We thought we were being pretty sneaky, but as soon as Calvin heard the camera "click" the picture, without turning around, he yelled, "cheese!" Apparently he knew what was going on.

Zoo day

It's hard to say which animal was Calvin's favorite. Brandon and I loved seeing the baby animals, especially the baby elephant. Calvin seemed most excited that the baby elephant was playing with a ball.

Little athlete

This is Calvin enjoying the bowl of Kix we picked up off the floor after he dumped the box on the carpet. This is Calvin playing baseball.


I would say we should get him a bat that is easier to hold onto, but he can be so violent with his toys I don't know if it's a good idea. He injured a nursery leader on Sunday when he chucked a fat wooden puzzle piece into his face. All that throwing practice might not have been a good idea.
Here's some basketball:
