Birthday Number One!

 We celebrated Calvin's first birthday with presents and cake- he wasn't sure what to do with the whole cake, so I cut him a slice and he handled it much better.
 His big present was a carseat.
 He loved all of the puzzles and books from family.
Calvin loves the water, whether it's the pool, sprinklers, bath, spigot or even Mitch's water bowl.

Calvin loves being able to crawl around and discover things.  He has just started zooming his cars around on the wood floor.  He enjoys sharing his cars and snacks with Mitch the dog, who in turn shares his dog food with Cal.  Calvin has discovered that dirt and mud and weeds and even dead beetles don't taste too bad.  He'll put anything and everything in his mouth that he finds outside on the grass.  When he's not talking Cal likes to cluck his tongue, and if he's in a good mood he'll yell at the top of his lungs while crawling as fast as he can across the floor. 

Happy Birthday Calvin!  It's been a fun-filled first year together.
