Calvin is growing up


This recent trip is the first time for Calvin to not sleep in a pack-and-play. We got him a new sleeping bag that was his "special" bed.

Calvin called me to the table at breakfast the other day to show me this. He had formed his waffle pieces into a "C for Calvin". He's learning a lot about letters from his big sis these days.

He was so proud of himself for making that C.

We had movie night and made popcorn in an air popper. Em was shocked that it didn't come out of the microwave bag, sad. Calvin was just so excited to watch it popping.

Our sweet Calvinator is growing up. He seems to really be doing more things, saying things that surprise us, and just acting like a bigger boy. I think sometimes we force him to grow up a little too fast, and have some expectiations on him forgetting is still only 2. This little guy is quite the comedian and is doing a much better job each week at children's church standing in line and following directions. Calvin gives the best hugs and can be so super sweet at times. I love it when he waves, it is darling. He loves to help, when he is in the mood. Calvin, we are so thankful to have you in our life!!!!!!!!

He sure is cute!

What an amazing story you have in how you built your beautiful family. Such gorgeous children!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for commenting on the whole breast feeding debacle ;) Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who ever struggled in nursing a preemie (everyone else only had stories of "it's hard in the beginning but it will get easier"...Um, it never really did for us unfortunately). It's nice to know you're not alone in things! In the end though, we're all just Moms doing the best we can right? I guess we're all too hard on ourselves from time to time.

Hope you have a great weekend!
