Little Hall of Famer

Calvin is happily working his way into his Daddy's shoes by trying out every sport he can lately. It's been quite entertaining...

Golf
Though Dan is very protective of his golf clubs, he is happy to let Cal test them out. Calvin knows what a golf club is and will retrieve it when prompted. His favorite club already is the driver. He likes to carry it around, bang the head on the bathroom tile, and hold it while getting his diaper changed. These are some pictures of Cal's first golf lesson with his Daddy.

Baseball
I found this baseball bat at a garage sale for a quarter, and Cal carried it around the whole sale...ignore the Red Sox logo, and this video is pretty sweet.


Basketball
We're pretty sure Cal is going to be a point guard someday....he is a ball-hog, he's a little rascal, and he enjoys putting things into containers. This picture looks like he's well on his way.
Cal seems to enjoy passing the ball already. He walks around the house and yard throwing balls and retrieving them over and over again.

Swimming
Our neighborhood pool opened this weekend! I bought this little floating suit for Cal hoping that it works for the summer. He sure enjoyed wearing it around the house...we'll see how it goes over in the pool!

Car Racing
What used to be tentative enjoyment has turned into pure elation. When Dan says, "Let's go for a ride," Calvin immediately goes to his car and sits down. He then whines until Dan takes off. My favorite part is when Cal helps out with the engine noises.


Bird/Dog.... Watching
Cal has quite an ear it seems. He often stops what he is doing to listen to the sounds around him. This happens most often with birds and dogs. He'll freeze for a couple seconds, tilt his head to the side, and then respond with "ish, ish, ish, ish." I'm not sure how that resembles a bark or a tweet, but apparently it does both.


Hair Cutting-if golf counts, so can this.
Calvin got his second (and much-needed) haircut this week! I think that Grandma and Grandpa came into town in the nick of time. We think he is a pretty handsome little man!
