Chocolate

I decided to share my fudgesicle with Cal after his dinner, and I think we found his new favorite food. He was on a pretty good sugar-high for about 15 minutes after, but he loved it.

Feet Obsession

This is the position in which I usually find Cal- with his feet up by his face. It doesn't matter where he is: floor, carseat/stroller, crib, bouncy seat, my lap, etc. I heard sucking noises the other day and thought he had found some fingers, but he was happily slurping on his big toe. When we go to the store and he's sitting in his carseat in the front of the cart, his favorite thing is when I "eat" his little feet. Anything to keep shopping enjoyable.

Mango!

Yesterday Calvin tried mango for the first time and loved it. Perhaps too much. I put it in his mesh feeder (his first time using it), but his mouth is just too small for him to really get everything, so everytime I took it away to push more mango to the end where he could get it, he had a complete breakdown. I think for our next mango experience we'll have to take a different approach, as well as cover Cal in a plastic bag- he managed to get mango juice everywhere, including his feet.

Hat

It's starting to be chilly in the mornings now, so I decided Cal needed a hat before we went to play ball with Mitch. I found the one that Grandma Shafer made for him. It fit perfectly and I thought he looked pretty cute in it. Thank you Grandma Shafer!

Grandma & Great-Grandma Bryan Visit

We were so lucky yo have Eric's mom & grandma come visit last week. While they were here we rode on the Heber Creeper (above: at the train station)...

...riding the train...

...and at the rest stop at Vivian Park. Cal loved it all, except the train whistle.

We also went to the gardens at Thanksgiving Point, which were beautiful. Thank you for coming, and come again soon!

4 Months

Well, Calvin has made it to his four month birthday. He had his doctor appointment this morning, and here are his stats: length is 26 inches (75th percentile), and weight is 12 lbs 7 oz (3rd percentile). So he's pretty much just a tall, skinny little boy (though I think he looks just perfect).

Peas!

Eric and I decided to give Cal some real food last night, so peas it was. He's not so great at sitting up in his chair yet, so he ended up leaning way over.

So we transferred him to his carseat. He wanted to help Dad with the spoon.

Eric needed to make sure Cal had a proper example of how to open his mouth.

Then if Dad slowed down, Cal had to let him know that was unacceptable and that he needed to speed things up. Overall I think it was a good experience- I figure if Cal likes the peas, he's sure to like pretty much anything else we give him.

Silver Lake

On Saturday we decided to drive up American Fork Canyon and visit Silver Lake. It was beautiful scenery and beautiful weather.

On our way back home we stopped by Sundance to walk around and get some dinner. A perfect day with my boys.
