Calvin's getting big!

Sorry it has been two weeks since we put up new pics but we have been busy here with Calvin. Since the last pics went up Calvin has had his first bottle, some more visitors, a couple road trips, and walks in the stroller. Meghan got in some time with friends while Greg watched Calvin and nobody seemed to be too traumatized by the experience! He is a real love and a great baby, we are very blessed. Our friends have been by to see us and him several times, and thanks to our friends and families that have been by the house. Greg's parents are visiting now, so we will have more pics up soon, but for now here are some from the last couple of weeks.

Calvin and Dad had some problems getting him changed one afternoon!



He wanted his mom after that one!



The baby swing from Aryeh and Jen which we all love, and he sleeps in regularly while we eat dinner. Thanks guys!

See?!?





Calvin loves to stretch and point!

Calvin enjoying his crib and homemade blankets. The teddy bear one is from Grandma Mientka and the crochet blanket is from our neighbor Karen!





Meghan thinks that Calvin looks great in stripes. Who could argue with that?






Here is Greg and Calvin having his first bottle of Mommy's milk together. He took it well, and is quite an eater. His weight was 8 lb 2 oz at birth, 7 lb 10 oz at 3 days, and up to 8 lb 15 oz at two weeks!







Aunt Bridget and Calvin having some quality time on a friday night!







Here is Ann and Gus when they came to see Calvin recently.

Katie and Lily came to see Calvin one afternoon with Chuck and Saul. The boys went outside to check out the playground and make piles of Gravel. Lily got in on the action later meeting the neighborhood kids and getting in on the playground games.

Calvin after his first bath at home. He really did like it until it was time to get out of the water.

This was dinner one night with fresh Ahi tuna seared, asian cabbage slaw, and garlic mashed potatoes.
Here is dad and Calvin chilling on the play matt that Kiki and Matt gave to us. Thanks guys!

Here is a video from Calvin's birthday in the hospital. It is a little big, so it may take a little while to upload.
