- stealth mode strep throat. No fever, no weird behavior, just a disgusting rash that overtook his body very quickly. He tried really hard to share this one with his brother, but somehow Caleb escaped. They both got two new toothbrushes out of the deal since Calvin kept sneaking Caleb's into his mouth
- lots of new words. He babbles all the time and most of it is not English, but he does say quite a few actual words (ok, maybe context is still needed to understand him, but these are the ones he's consistent with how they sound): ball, night-night, mom, dad, all done, bye, hi, book, more or milk (I can't really tell which he's saying, but he means he wants more milk)
- use of sing language!!! He's signing more, please, and help. Please is his favorite because he thinks he can use that to get whatever he wants.
- throwing random things into the hamper. Last month, he would throw anything away that I told him wasn't food, well now that we lock the trash can, he's taken to throwing anything and everything in the hamper. This month the list included: clean clothes as I was folding them, pistachio shells, Caleb's slippers, Caleb's snow boots, pistachio shells, bathtub toys, and I'm sure other things I can't remember
- climbing....he can now get only the kitchen chairs without any help. I've found him up there finishing up Caleb's left over breakfast on more than one occasion.
Calvin's biggest interests each day revolve around his big brother. He's always trying to do whatever big brother is doing...ride his scooter, play with his legos, climb into his loft bed, etc, etc. He also really likes anything involving throwing a ball, reading, and is starting to show some interest in puzzles. He likes to have a book in his bed and occasionally sits and looks at it before going to bed, but mostly he just lays down and goes right to sleep when put in his bed.
