Calvin and Leo

They really like each other (maybe one more than the other...)

Calvin has the best Grandmas. They both love him so much; I just love watching him with them! My mom drives 4 hours every-other Monday to come and spend 6 hours with him. And not only that, she usually ends up cleaning my house and making dinner! I mean WOW, you can't pay somebody to do that! (Well maybe you could, but it certainly isn't in our budget!)
Ted's Mom (the best mother-in-law a girl could ask for!) Watches him every other Monday, and every Wednesday. This past Wednesday she got to watch him from 9am to 11pm (I worked and then we went to Valleyfair- SO MUCH FUN! I know I am ready to go back again already.) Not only does she watch Cal, she watches my other 4 nieces Tues/Thurs and Fridays!
So, to both of my moms: Thank you so much for loving our baby and helping us with all that you do. We love you!

Excercise and Bath time

Calvin recently got to experience the 'excersaucer' and boy does he love it! He blows spit bubbles continuously. Here he made himself a beautiful spit bubble beard!
He spins in circles and talks to each toy as he goes, he is quite fun to watch.
He has also been showing me how smart he is! (I mean, we knew he would be brilliant with parents like us (hehe), but I didn't think he would start so soon!) I can show him how to do something once or twice and he takes over.

After he covered himself in spit we decided to take a bath. He is so cute in the tub, he sits there very content, but serious while I wash him; even though I am singing in a high-pitched voice the whole time! ("We wash your chubby lil thighs, and your big strong arms, and those under-arm pitties!!" and so on...)

He lets out a great big smile as soon as I wrap him up. I can't decide if he likes being wrapped up, or if he is just happy I have quit singing!
