3 Months

Calvin made it to 3 months! His big accomplishment for the day was rolling over for the first time. He loves to fold himself in half and put his toes in his mouth, and play peek-a-boo. He even laughed for the first time this past week. Next on the checklist: napping longer than 45 minutes. We love you Cal!

Eric

Eric is officially a lineman! While Cal and I were in California, he finished his hot hours- yay! He has worked so hard for the past few years toward this goal, so we are incredibly proud of him. We appreciate how hard he works and what a wonderful husband & daddy he is (I especially enjoyed coming home from a trip to a spotless house with not one but two boquets of flowers waitingg for me). We love you!!

California

Cal and I were able to visit Grandma & Grandpa Shafer in California for a couple of weeks. William (above), Jenny & Ben, and Jacob, John & Kristen were also there for Calvin to meet for the first time. It was wonderful to see everyone!

While we were there, Calvin started reaching and grabbing toys (YAY!), so Grandma Shafer bought him a play gym which he loves.

Grandpa Shafer babysat one evening so we could go to a play. It was rough.

All Calvin wanted to do was play, eat, and sleep with Grandma.

Other highlights: the goldfish, farmers markets, putting siding on the shed, and Cal's first cold & plane ride.

It was so much fun we hope to visit again in a few months!

2 Months

Cal made it to his two month birthday! Eric dressed him in a onesie from Aunt Jenny in New York- thank you, though I'm not sure he'll be able to fit in it again!

In honor of Cal making it to two months, he got to go to the doctor and get his immunizations. He was a champ though- he only fussed for about an hour later that afternoon and decided to nap for the rest of it. The doctor said he's a small little guy- 10 pounds 1 ounce, 22 3/4 inches, but to mee it feels like he's grown a ton over the last several weeks. We'll have to see what we can do to chunk him up before the next doctor's visit.

Calvin

One of Calvin's favorite thing to do is blow bubbles...

...while kicking in his bouncy chair. He'll sit and do that for sometimes 20 minutes at a time. I think I love it as much as he does.

Crib

This past weekend Calvin was blessed at church, so Grandma & Grandpa Shafer were able to come visit and bring Cal's crib! It is beautiful- thank you Grandpa!

Thumb Sucking

During our daily tummy time, Cal seems more interested in licking his hand rather than lifting his head, but today it paid off- he found his thumb! Needless to say, all point of tummy time after that was lost.
