January 8th, 2012 2 months already?!

Where does the time go?...I think I'll probably say that a bajillion times over in my lifetime. It never ceases to amaze me at how quickly the minutes turn into hours, the hours into days...

Our Calvin is 2 months old today. And even though he still keeps mom up most of the night (gotta keep up those chubby cheeks somehow!), I adore him.


He started cracking an ever so cute smile on the first of the year. I couldn't catch it on camera until a few days later, but Oooh how it makes me melt!




He still makes has his famous "grunt" noises and is trying ever so hard to turn them into a new form of vocal communication. You should seem him open his mouth wide and try!


He turns his head to my voice and has even turned to find William when he's around him. The most fun is when I'm changing Calvin on the changing table and William is behind him on his bed bouncing around. Calvin cranks his neck back to to find his jumping bean brother and it's so incredibly cute (o:

He's proving to be the "big" little brother at this point. He's gained a whoppin' 7lbs since we left the hospital just two short months ago.
Here's the stats:

Weight for age= just over 14lb & 92nd percentile (William at 2 months= just over 11lb & 43rd percentile)
*I must add that Calvin was only at the 41st percentile at 13 days old...

Length for age= 57.5cm...not sure how that translates to inches... &45th percentile (William at 2 months= 59cm & 62nd percentile)



And this one is purely for Grandpa Greg...Recognize this shirt Grandpa?

Oct. 6th, 2008 We're having a... 20 weeks 5 days

...BOY!!!!! We were very pleased to see a very healthy little baby on the monitor. He clearly let us see that he was a boy despite the fact that he's facing breech right now. All systems intact, his hands have fingers and his feet have toes, and his little heart was beating about 136bpm. He weighs in at approx 14 ounces so he's already almost hit a 1 pound (they said he measured a little bigger than what was expected for my due date). He was moving around quite a bit and kept putting his hands in front of his face while we were trying to get pictures. Curtis said "This little guy doesn't know he's got the wrong family; we're all mellow." We are so thankful that everything measures out fine and that things are progressing well. We get to go in for our 3-D ultrasound Nov. 21st. Happy Birthday Mel (her birthday is today!), you're gonna be Auntie to a nephew!

Sept. 17th, 2011 30 weeks (and 2 days) with #2!

Really? 30 weeks already?! WHERE DID THE TIME GO???!!! He'll be here before we know it! Well, we just keep pluggin' along. Every day his kicks get a little stronger and the belly gets a little bigger-two blessings (you have to count them as that right?!) that remind me he's alive, well and growing. A couple of friends have had their baby's in July and Sept. and it's definitely become more of a reality that I'm next now that they have their little ones (o: We are SO excited and just so very thankful that everything is going so well. It's simply amazing to me how a woman can continue on with life so normally as their body is used as a station of creation by God to form a new human being..."amazing" doesn't even capture it...We serve an incredible God! Here's me and my goofy William, posing with little brother. I got him to take pictures with me by convincing him he could roll his tongue like mom was doing...Guess my boys have a prett...

Jan. 12th, 2012 Potty Training

Image
We've been working with William on potty training. We started seriously thinking about it this past Summer, when he could run around naked outside and watch himself pee (in the grass and not all over the house!). He caught on pretty quickly (to the peeing part that is) and had fun picking different objects to pee on (trees, rocks, leaves...fortunately not the dogs). Then, I decided we weren't gonna push the issue until after brother was born. I'd heard all kinds of people tell me that he would likely just regress, so I figured we'd at least introduce the whole concept and pick back up after Calvin was born. Sportin' the birthday suit while we practiced outside...I'm sure the pool had plenty of pee in it too. We told William that babies like Calvin wore diapers and that he wasn't a baby anymore. I guess this is where big boys wear their diapers...And for some reason I can't find this picture of this one for the life of me (one of William wearing a d...
