All about Calvin

Calvin is an amazing baby, with lots of energy and calmness about him all at once. It is so much fun seeing him grow. For all of you who are seeing him grow with us, here are some new pictures:

Sometimes Calvin can be serious...

But a lot of times he is light-hearted. He likes to spend time in his saucer, and reaches out to test the gadgets.

Calvin reaches for his toes, and does a good job sitting up. He gets lots of practice, but isn't ready to do it all by himself yet, so Daddy gives him a hand.

Calvin is very interested in the world around him.


He is amused by familiar faces, and loves to smile at them.

He likes to make everyone smile along with him. And who could resist?!

And then, he gets really excited and shakes his legs around.


In this he's chatting and playing with his musical pack-n-play friends:

A Visit From Leslie

Meghan's Aunt Leslie came to town to visit at the end of August, and got to meet Calvin for the first time. Calvin had a ball during Leslie's visit, and together they went to the Shelburne Museum, Ben & Jerry's factory, and ate yummy food. We all had a great visit from Leslie, and hope she comes again soon!

Calvin really liked our picnic lunch at the museum.

It was a great day for it too, with sunshine and lots of interesting sights!

Calvin wanted some yummy ice cream, but Mommy said he couldn't try any yet, so he stuck with his binki.

He was pretty happy with the arrangement, and soon he forgot about the ice cream because he was having such a good time.

Calvin loves the water

Bath time is one of Calvin's favorite times, especially since he got a new personalized towel from Amy, Kory, and Sam (thank you!).

Rib-bit!

Daddy likes it almost as much as Calvin does. Fortunately for Calvin, it has his name right on it, and it doesn't fit Daddy as well as him (though it looks just as cute).

Late in August, Calvin finally got to stick his feet in some water other than in his nightly bath. We took him to Sandbar Beach for the day last weekend to soak up some late summer sun, and had a great time!



Daddy and Calvin love to play together, wherever they are, and especially at the beach.

The water's warm!



Calvin is wondering if he will float or not.




Better stay with Daddy just in case!
