Ready, Set, Crawl!

I sat Calvin down on the family room floor yesterday afternoon when we got home.  He immediately got on all 4's and tried desperately to crawl.  I just sat and watched/video taped him for about an hour, knowing and hoping that he was going to crawl at any minute and crawl he did!  Here is a little video clip of his first time crawling!  It may be short, but I am so happy to have recorded it, especially since Daddy was at work.

Later in the evening I looked down to see Calvin crawl over to the ottoman where he proceeded to pull himself up to standing.  Two milestones in one night = one VERY proud Mommy!!  Now, if we could just slow down a little bit, that'd be great! (As I am typing this, Calvin is holding on to the ottoman while walking/stepping to get to his ball.)

So far this evening we've found Calvin chewing on the coasters and eating a magazine.  If you need us this weekend, we'll be busy nailing things to the floor.....errrr baby proofing.

Love,
PAC

8 Months!

The past two to three weeks have been quite crazy for PAC.  Somewhere in all of that craziness this growing boy turned 8 months old!

• Stats - About 17 lbs 6 oz.  Height is unknown, but his torso seems to get an inch longer each week!
• Sleep - Still sleeping through the night and taking 3-4 long naps a day.  
• Eat - We still haven't found a single food this kid won't eat.  He is starting to explore more solid foods and loves to eat a little of whatever Mom and Dad are having.
• What's New -  Calvin is soooo close to crawling!  He can get in and out of the crawling positing with no problem at all.  His hand move and his knees do not!  He LOVES the bath and standing with assistance.  Calvin babbles Ma-mom all day long and has definitely proven to be a momma's boy.  

Here are a few pictures documenting the past month.

Helping Daddy pick out something yummy for dinner.  (They went with the French Dip and Calvin loved it!)

Enjoying some cheese quesadilla after an afternoon in the pool.

He loves his morning walks with Mommy!

 Came out of the bedroom to find this!  I guess he's on the move!  

I will be posting again soon with more pictures and fun stories from our trip to Indiana.

Love,

PAC
