The "petting zoo." Not sure why they called it that as there were signs all over saying "we bite."


Our little pumpkins.

Calvin's choice - the tiny, tiny pumpkin.

Playing Peek-a-boo with the rattle

I checked on Calvin and Isaac this afternoon after we returned from our errands and this is what I found. Calvin was playing with Isaac hiding the rattle from him and then showing it to him. Isaac just grinned every time the rattle came out and looked at Calvin adoringly while he waited :)

Wow - Good Job Calvin

This is a worksheet that Calvin worked on at school. When I picked him up on Thursday his teacher made a point of mentioning that he did this by himself and also wrote these comments on his paper. We are so proud of you Calvin.

Sitting Up

Isaac is beginning to support himself sitting up. His downfall is trying to eat his toes. We can only keep him sitting up as long as he isn't trying to eat his toes :)
