Swings!!!


Cal went on the swings for the 1st time today and he loved it!  What a big boy he is.  Look at him clicking his feet...he was so excited!  He loves being at the park and watching all the other kids playing.

Buddy Sits Up!!!!!

Very belated update






Well it has been a very exciting few months for our little man.  He is getting so big and learning and changing every day.  He turns 7 months old today which is truly unbelievable!  He is eating all kinds of fruit and veggies.  He rolls in both directions and manages to move and scoot in any direction he wants.  And yesterday he sat up for the very 1st time!!!  We also enjoyed a beautiful Mother's Day together.  Daddy pampered me with all kinds of relaxing gifts and Calvin gave me the most incredible locket so I can keep him with me all the time.
When Calvin had his 6 month check up we learned that he is very tall and lanky....clearly this was obvious considering he does not have an baby rolls and is in 12 month pajamas : )  Most importantly he is very healthy and doing great!
This year is just whizzing by and we are enjoying every moment.  Watching our son grow is the most rewarding thing we have ever experienced.  We welcome EVERYONE to come visit and spend some time with us this summer.  Seattle is so gorgeous this time of year and Calvin would love some extra kisses and playtime with all his loved ones.

Calvin and The Bunny


Here is the proud little man with the Easter Bunny.  The Bunny didn't have very much to say but Calvin sure was a good boy!  And he looked very cute in his "fancy" outfit from his Auntie Heidi.  Happy Easter everyone!  We miss you all!

Fun day with friends






The whole family had a great day over at the Wilson's.  We finally got to meet Johanna who was born just 1 month after Cal.  It was so fun to see the dad's with their kids.  They have all come such a long way together having known each other for 16 years!  Amazing.  Our kids are going to be buddies for a very long time!

Shout out to all my Irish peeps!!!

Cal is sporting his Fighting Irish gear today....but he will always be a Coug at heart : )

Happy St. Patty's Day!





Buddy is showing his Irish pride by sporting his super cute outfit and hat from Grandma  But his favorite part is his Notre Dame socks from his Uncle Bobby!  So far we have had a great day walking at the beach and relaxing at home.  Now we are going to cook Corned Beef and Cabbage for daddy....thanks for the recipe Uncle Bob!

Special times with Mama and Dad



Calvin and Mama have started taking long walks on the beach here in Edmonds.  It was so gorgeous out this past Friday!  We can't wait for  more beautiful days so we can soak in the sunshine!  On Saturday Calvin and Daddy got to cuddle up and relax for a few hours.  We had breakfast and watched some cartoons.  Fun!!!

ROLLING OVER!!!

After many tries Calvin finally rolled over today!  He went from back to tummy and we are so proud of him.  And once he got started he couldn't stop.  He rolled over about 10 times.  And Grandma even got to see it on her web chat!  It is so amazing to see him achieve different milestones.  It all seems to be happening so fast.  I can not even imagine that he will be walking and talking before we can blink an eye. 
 

Hard work!
















So we have been working on rolling over for weeks.  A few nights ago Calvin was getting SO close.  But no matter how hard he tried....and tried and tried...he could not manage to get over that darn arm.  His technique was to put his legs straight up n the air and trow them to the side.  He worked for so long that he finally just conked out mid roll.

GG got Cal a new walker!





Great Grandma got Calvin his very 1st walker and he LOVES it!  There are 2 bears on it that he just thinks are the greatest things he has ever seen.  They are best friends for sure.   I am sure he will be scooting around the house before we know it!

Snoring...turn up your sound!

We could not resist!  He is just WAY to cute.

Buddy eating pears....sort of

Here's buddy trying to figure out this whole eating thing...as you will see it didn't go all that well.  But rest assured we have gotten A LOT better at it since then : )

Eatin' like a big boy!!!!






Here are some pics from Cal's 1st few meals.  We started with fruit and he really likes apples!!!!  It's just that darn spoon that's so hard to get used to.  At first he just kept jamming his fingers in is mouth which made things a bit complicated.  But we are sure getting the hang of things now!
