Calvin Loves to Play!

Here are some new pictures to show you how much Calvin has grown by early August. He has learned how to grasp objects and bring them to his mouth. He must taste everything, by the way! I bet he'll master sitting up before we know it (as you'll see below, we're helping him with this for now).
Calvin loves his new bright toys that people have given him. I think his favorite color right now is red. He especially loves the balls that Gee Gee and Pop Pop sent from Seattle. Thanks to everyone for the treats you have given to Calvin! Calvin also got a bunch of stuff from Cousin Joseph, Aunt Sara, and Uncle Alex. Thanks guys, we love the new outfits! Kiki and Matt gave him a bunch of great mobile/reach-for/ hanging toys that keep him busy and entertained as well.

He's our little sunshine.
Calvin likes the song that Grandma sang to Mommy when she was a baby too.

Look at him hold the ball with utmost concentration.

Looks edible, he decides!

One morning, Calvin and Mommy work on sitting up.

Jerry the Giraffe lends Calvin a hand. (Thanks Aunt Katie! Calvin had to pry his very first stuffed animal/toy away from Mommy before he could play with it though).

They are doing it!

Well, Calvin may not be ready for sitting up for real yet, but that is okay with us. He will soon enough, we know, and are in no hurry to have him grow up.
