Mobility

My little buddy is growing too quickly for my liking.  A couple of days ago I was watching him during tummy time.  He twisted himself through a complete circle, and then another quarter turn.  He even dragged his favorite toy (a burp cloth) with him part of the way.  Then he rolled onto his back.  I was so amazed I wanted to share it here.  Of course he is my little stinker and won't cooperate for pictures.  I tried quite a few times, but he would always start crying and stop moving.  Here are some pictures I did get.

He'll be crawling before I know it. I love this little guy. 

First Dam Time

I'm trying to get in better shape after being pregnant.  I decided that walking is a good place to start.  I thought it would be fun if I could walk to First Dam from my apartment and check out the birds while there.  I can go walking and birding.  I mapped it out and figured out a route that would be about 5 miles total.  On Friday, I convinced Mark to come with me for my first trip all the way to First Dam.  I made waffles for breakfast, and we took the leftovers with us to feed the birds.  We passed a little diner called Herm's Inn that we wanted to go to for lunch (unfortunately, they were closed when we got there). We spent about a half hour feeding the birds and watching their antics.  Then we headed back. It was a little windy and Calvin wasn't happy about that.  Mark bundled him up in his coat and carried him for a while to make him happy.  We took a little detour on the way home and the walk ended up being about 5.75 miles.  I am hoping we'll go again this weekend and that we'll get to check out that diner this time.
