6 Months

My little buddy is 6 months old now. I love thinking back about the birth of my sweetheart.  I would just like to record a few of the things he is up to.  At six months, Calvin can roll over from his front and his back.  He can sit up by himself. He likes to get up on his knees and rock back and forth. He has started experimenting with his facial expressions.  He is very vocal... Especially in sacrament meeting.  He is 18 lbs. 10 oz. He is 26.5 inches tall.  He is generally happy.  He loves his mom and dad a whole lot. He loves his puppy Bianca. He likes to explore his world by rubbing his hands on stuff.  For example, sometimes he will spit up and then rub his hands in it.  I love this little baby so much.  I look forward to watching him grow.

Fun Times Ahead

 

Please excuse the mess.  I just wanted you to see how Calvin can now get himself up on his knees and likes to rock back and forth.  He already scoots backwards on the floor, and can turn himself left and right.  We're pretty excited for him to be learning to crawl. 

May Day

Our family visited Mendon for the 151st annual May Day celebration.  Every year one junior aged girl in the community is selected as May Queen.  They hold a ceremony in which all the young girls in the city braid the five maypoles.  The May Queen is crowned, and everyone sings to her.  It was neat to participate in such an old community tradition.  Two years ago, Mark and I were featured in a little program after the maypole dances.  We did a thirty second polka.  Last year, we did not attend because I was graduating.   We are looking forward to attending next year.
