Week 36 and 37

Busy, busy at our house again.  These blog posts are taking back seat to grand-opening!  In my defense, I did actually have a post drafted for week 36, but the pictures I wanted are on Travis' computer and I've been in bed before he's gotten home every night except two for the past three weeks...soon, I'll get up baptism pics.

Here is what Calvin is up to:
- A new tooth -- he has his second one on the bottom and it was not accompanied by the rash, so next week we will try corn again.

- A cold -- poor little boy was so stuffed up.  He wanted to sleep well, but couldn't breathe with his pacifier in, so he was up a lot...like the longest he slept for seven days was three hours in a row.  Couldn't this have waited until Mom and Dad weren't running around like crazy opening a new store?  Oh well, he was at least napping like a champ (4-5 hours a day), so he wasn't crabby.

- pulling up -- we're convinced Calvin is going to be our "wild child." And true to that, he decided the best place to pull up for the first time would be the bath tub!  He did it once in there and since has done it a couple of times in the living room.  He doesn't have a lot of things that are the perfect height for him, but now that he's figuring out, I'm sure he'll try other objects!  Caleb used our coffee table, but that has long since been moved out of the living room.

- He's sure getting faster at crawling and has even started to crawl around the yard.  He prefers to be on his blanket when outside, but will do it some.  He will crawl from the living room to come find us if we are in a different room.  He's not very quiet and often giggles as he heads for Caleb's room.

- He hasn't started cruising around yet, in fact he doesn't move his legs at all and more of just leans and stretches if he wants to get to something else when standing.

- Playing peek-a-boo.  I've never seen a baby love to play this so much!  If he's upset in the car, I hand him a blanket and he starts it up and giggles come quickly.

And look, he can even reach in and grab the toys!

So proud of himself!  He pulled up all by himself.

Loves wrapping paper!

Such a happy guy. 

Absolute favorite toy right now

His shirt says "my mom's cool."  Wonder if he'll feel that way in 13 years...

World's best teether!

Sad his big brother shut the gate in his face. 

I'll try to post the actual baptism pictures next week...if I ever get to see Travis again!  Or maybe I'll make him leave his computer behind if he has to head to the store after dinner.
