Photo Overload

We had some family/6 month photos taken a few weeks ago by our favorite photographer, Adria Ausmus.  It was 104 degrees that day and Calvin did not care for the heat.  This meant very few smiles and 2 very red cheeks. I still find his serious face awfully handsome and I wanted to share them with all 5 of our readers.  Enjoy!

6 Months!

Happy 1/2 Birthday to the most amazing little boy we know!  Mommy and Daddy love you so incredibly much!

• Stats - 15 lbs 14 oz.  Length (tbd at his 6 mo check-up)
• Sleep - We have come a long way is the sleep department over the past week.  Calvin is sleeping through. the. night!  He stirs a few times during the night, but is able to put himself back to sleep. 
• Eat - This is such a sad month for Mamma   Calvin finished up all of mamma's milk last weekend and we have moved on to formula.  He is loving carrots and sweet potatoes and continues to despise cereal.  
• What's New - Where do I begin?!  Calvin is growing, changing, and learning every single day!  Over the past month he has gotten 2 teeth; learned to sit up for 20+ minutes at a time and play; find, insert and remove his paci; and turns toys on and off independently.  Playing in an upright position is so much more fun!  

4/29/13 - He's officially sitting up!

Favorite Toy #1

Favorite Toy #2

Seeing Elmo for the first time. (Please excuse the sweet potatoes all over his shirt!)

Last weekend we were so excited that Nana, Papa and Grandma came to visit!  Calvin hadn't seen them in several months and boy did they spoil him!  Can't blame them, though!

No walking yet, Nana!

Here a a couple of videos from the past week.....

Disclaimer for the Grandmas and Grandpas: He didn't even cry so, go ahead and laugh!

The first 6 months sure have been fun, but Mommy would be just fine if the next 6 months didn't go so quickly!

Happy Birthday, Dada!

The days of just grazing over your birthday are over, Patrick!  You are always telling me, "Today is your special day!" and I don't believe you get to hear that enough from me.  So, yesterday was all about you!  Calvin and I love you so much and we were so excited to celebrate your 33rd Birthday with you!
