since I’m totally busy and a slacker when it comes to timely blog posting, here is a massively large post about the happening with our little family over the last two months.
don’t be surprised that many of our pictures our of Cal :)
Calvin is so happy! He started smiling really well at 8 weeks and we just can’t get enough!
We have been enjoying the beautiful cold weather this year! I love AZ winters so so much. Calvin has been loving tummy time lately. He has been able to lift his head up strong since day one, but it’s getting less wobbly everyday! And as always, Lucy is Cal’s bestest friend
Nick’s cousin Caitlin had her sweet baby girl Oakleigh two weeks before Cal and they love each other! Oakleigh seemed to be more interested in her hands than anything
Tried to take pictures of him in the grass, but he wasn’t having any of it. Sometimes the boy is just grumpy and needs some mommy and grandma love to make things better.
Calvin loves to sit in daddy’s lap while he watches TV, and dad loves to put Cal in crazy mismatched sockies. Mommy loves her new-to-her chair, especially when her boys are in it.
we finally caught some good smiles on camera. this boy gets so distracted by the camera that it’s hard to get him to do anything else but stare wide eyed at it.
Tried again in the grass, but no go. too windy, so we moved inside. love my handsome guy
I just love these two pictures. the one on the right cracks me up. I just want to eat those toes!
so it like, snowed in AZ in Feb…like twice. crazzzy. but it was pretty cool, except for the fact that some lady rear-ended me…us Arizonan’s are useless drivers come rain, snow, fog or hail.
we are juicers! Got ourselves a legit juicer and it has now become “our thing”. super tasty, even though it looks nasty. love getting all my veggies in this way. trying to be healthy!!
When we juice and make breakfast Cal watches baby einsteins (or us) and then usually falls asleep. We call him our “burrito boy” because he loves being wrapped up like a burrito. He seriously will not go to sleep without being wrapped up, and wrapped up properly too! this kid. already so particular. should be a fun toddler :)
My handsome boys
As far as everything else goes, life is good
* I’m still serving in young women’s as the second counselor AND serving with Nick as the 16/17yr old sunday school teachers….I know. two callings. we manage :)
*I have a new job that I absolutely LOVE for many many reasons.
* yes, I love my new job because I HAVE to work. I HATE being away from Calvin. HATE. IT. But you do what you have to do. buck up. and move on. I am grateful for the many wonderful family members who help our little family.
*We started sleep training with Calvin this week and it is going fabulously! Only fussed (not cried) for 20 minutes last night then fell asleep! Here’s to hoping it stays easy!
* I have joined the gym and have been going religiously and working my bleeping butt off! I am determined to lose AT LEAST 30lbs by our family vacay to cali this summer. I’ll show before and after pictures of my process once I get there.
take luck,
