Tummies, Bikes, Trains

Jack's life is all about his tummy right now. He is finally loving his tummy time! He maneuvers to put toys (that Cal giveth and taketh away) into his mouth, looks around at the constant action above, and rolls over onto his side and back. My favorite is when he pushes himself up onto his elbows and just hangs out.
Of course, Mr. PR loves it when direct attention comes his way. He's pretty hard to resist with his smiles, little screeches and drool-covered chin.

Jack has also been learning to fill his tummy with "solid food." The watered-down rice cereal and sweet potatoes can barely be classified as solid, but he seems to be enjoying the new flavors. Most of it ends up getting down to his tummy...I think.

Calvin got a new bike for Christmas/birthday from my mom, "Nana." He LOVES it! He was up in the middle of the night this week, and in his half-awake stupor he was able to mutter two words....first, "bike." Second, "dada." Yeah.

Calvin started out by pushing the bike around the house with our help. He said "Na-nee," push, and bike over and over and over again.


He has since graduated to sitting on the seat while we push...a big step given the seriousness of his "no" when we initially asked him if he wanted to ride.

Calvin has also been pretty obsessed with "choo-choos." This all began with the book, "The Little Engine That Could." We've read the book at least 30 times, and now we are building Lego trains all the time. He asks to see this picture of one of them all the time now.

  2. Jack is such a sweet, huggable little guy. It warmed my heart to be able to cuddle and hold him and kiss those rosey little cheeks! Hanging out with just him and me at the doctor's office was unforgettable. Another blessing....
