Childhood Imaginations

Calvin has been doing a fair share of pretending lately. Today it was pretending to be a deer (hence the antlers). He informed us that deer do not eat with a fork, or even their "hands," but with their mouths. We decided to let him pretend and eat his snack out of a bowl, with his mouth, on the floor. He ate every one of those Cheerios and raisins just like this.

Brothers

Hard to believe I have two boys now, and especially hard to believe that Calvin is almost 3!

2 months old

Isaac went for his 2 month checkup last week. He is now 10 lbs, 8 ozs and 22 3/4 inches. He is starting to grasp toys that we hand him, and he is putting his fingers or his whole fist in his mouth.

Calvin

Calvin loves to "try on" everything, try everything, and know everything about everything. We are definitely in the why stage, and not just "why do I have to do ..." but why is that person driving their car? Why is that bird flying away? Why are you eating? Why is Isaac crying? Why do we wash things? Why do the leaves fall off of the trees? It just goes on and on and on.

This is an example of "try on" everything. These were in the beach bag and he had to wear them :)

Paci Protection

Isaac is guarding the paci even in his sleep. He is starting to try to put the paci back in when it falls out. He will root around try to get it back in his mouth, and try to push it back in with his little hands flailing around - sometimes his efforts succeed :)

Laundry Basket Fun

Here are my little guys, Isaac in the laundry basket and Calvin playing with him. I love these moments - they just bring a smile even when the day is crazy.

Camping in NC

Here are some shots of our camping trip this past weekend. We went with some friends Clint knows from the office, The Verdirames. Calvin and William had a grand time playing together.
