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.

New Chair

I left Cal alone to roll around on the floor for awhile, and after a few minutes it got really quiet, so I went to check on him and found him just laying on his belly sucking his thumb.
We received Cal's new chair in the mail yesterday, and he seems to like it! He sits up in it pretty well already, but for only a limited amount of time. Hopefully within the next few weeks he'll get better so we can start him on some solids!

Rolling Over




Some pictures of Cal rolling over. He can go both ways- back to belly and belly to back. He is getting better at it every day, but only really likes to do it if he's completely naked.

Fun Times


Calvin has discovered his lower lip and is it ever tasty! He loves breezes at the park, taking walks through the neighbors' sprinklers, drooling, scooting on his back, humming, playing with Mom in front of the mirror, putting his vibrating bird toy against his face, splashing in the bath, wrestling with his giraffe, and books. He received a new book from G & G Shafer in the mail last week, and everytime we finished and I put it down he immediately started crying. So we read it over and over and over. And over. We are now having to read every book at least twice. It's a great way to pass the time and quickly memorize board books.
