Six Months of Calvin :)

Avocado Boys

Noah

Calvin-this pic of Cal reminded me of one of Noah, so I hunted it down. These pics are of their first taste of avocado.

:)

Cal is doing great sitting up by himself (with a boppy). He can sit a minute or two completely unassisted before slowly toppling over.

Noah loves to wear summer clothes in the winter. I think it's a boy thing.

This firefly is yummy!

This kid is SERIOUSLY cute!

Calvin and his cousin Carter like to take turns trying to poke each other in the eye.

Noah chowin' down at our Valentines Day Party

Calvin and his buddy Elizabeth at the Valentines Day party. When people say that Cal has a lot of hair, I always say "you should see our friend Elizabeth"

Funny Faces :)

Videos!

Some interaction, I love it when Noah 'hugs' Calvin

Noah was just figuring out his whistle...now he is MUCH louder

Cal talkin' and first bites of cereal!

Lots of pics of Cal and a few of Noah...I gotta balance things out!

Noah wanted to check out his cool new underwear. He will probably hate me later for this pic, but it makes me laugh.

Watching the bread machine go.

Go Cowboys!

Calvin tried to eat his iguana

DROOL!

Sleepy Baby....how adorable. These next shots are of Calvin's first experience with solid food (well, semi-solid food). He made some GREAT faces!

Oops! Sorry it's been so long!

What a face!

I think he looks like Noah...if you turn your head sideways, sorry!

Where did this long KID come from?

Watching train videos on the laptop

Sorry this one loaded sideways, but it take too much time to fix it, so just turn your head :) I think he looks freakishly similar to pictures of Ryan that I have seen from around the same age.

Seriously cute kid!!!! If I do say so myself!

Noah would spin this toy, Calvin grabs it and does his best to eat it...

Calvin lookin like his older brother at this age

Look at that chub! I think Calvin looks like Noah in this picture, too!

We have to wrap Noah up in a toga every night after bath to brush his teeth, it cracks me up.

Here is Calvin, cutting those first teeth on Daddy's finger, his favorite chew toy. Calvin now has 2 teeth! His two bottom middle ones are in! He is still drooling like crazy and chewing on everything so I guess more are coming! Cal is rolling over all the time (no more tummy time for him!), and can even sit up by himself....for about 3 seconds. We are thinking about starting solid foods next weekendish! Calvin is doing so great, a little fussier lately, but we blame the teeth. He is also getting up 2-3 times a night again (ugh!!!) which we are trying to discourage. Noah has been waking up 2-3 times a night too, suddenly, he has always been such a great sleeper, it's kind of crazy. So, Ryan and I have been awakened about 5x a night for the last week and a half/ 2 weeks. We look like zombies!

Noah woke up a week and a half ago and announced that he wanted to wear his Thomas underwear, so we are potty training! He is doing great! He is having about one small accident a day (when Mommy pays attention and doesn't keep doing laundry in the basement when Noah starts yelling for her upstairs....). Ryan stumbled on a great way to get him to use the toilet. Noah has decided that his little plastic one is a potty and the regular ones that you and i use are toilets. After he uses the toilet Noah gets to throw some sunflower seeds in and the watch them get flushed down. It's great entertainment, I guess. I am just disgusted by watching him practically put his head in the bowl and the flushing...shudder...but it's working!

Now that Calvin is getting bigger, Noah is playing with him more, which is tons of fun to see! Noah will copy what we say to Calvin, so we're hearing Noah say "Calvin, when did you get so big?" and "Tell us all about it, Calvin" a lot. It's so cute.

I'll try to do better about posting...I've been too tired to take pictures, though....
