4 months old!

Today Calvin went in for his 4 month checkup! He weighed 15 pounds and was 27 inches long. He is in the 51st percentile for weight and 98th percentile for height. The doctor called him tall and skinny! So I have to stop calling him a little fatty, although he still has his extremely chubby cheeks, and his little double chin. The doctor was impressed with how well he could lift his head and almost sit up on his own when you give him your fingers. He said he has a very strong neck and back. He also finally started eating rice cereal today, here is a video of him in action.

Calvin's new book!

Calvin got his new book from Gramps today! I was so excited and started to read it to him. When I was done I put him on the floor so he could look at his new book, but Calvin took it to the next step...he started to read it again! He must really love this one Gramps! Thank you!

Excer-saucer!

Calvin loves to play with the excer-saucer!!

Thank you to the Goulds (especially Ryley) for letting us borrow the excer-saucer!

Just Another Day

Calvin had fun playing on the bed this afternoon

Anna and Janae came over and played with Calvin today. This is a picture they took.

Here is a video that I took of Calvin playing with Nick today!

Big Boy

Nick propped Calvin in the corner of the couch! He stood like this forever. He loved it, because he felt like such a big boy! Nick was taking pictures on his phone and I had the camera, so he had some trouble deciding where to look!! So cute!!

This Ones for Gramps

College Football Saturday!

Susan let me sleep in this morning and when I finally got up she went back to bed. So that left Calvin and myself to watch our favorite thing on tv FOOTBALL! (well it was college football but that counts too). We were watching Maryland beat California but Calvin only has an NC State outfit. So here he is very focused on the game.

And here he is looking like his Gramps! enjoying the game.

Calvin's laugh!!!!

So you can't see very well...but it's what you hear that matters! We got the camera after the good laughs were over...but it's still cute!

Sweet Babies!

My good friend Brittany asked me to watch her daughter, Alyse today. It was so fun! She brought over her bouncer and Alyse was nice enough to let Calvin have a turn and in turn he let her play with his toy!

I thought that it was going to be a crazy morning with two babies, but after about half and hour...I had them both sleeping! How sweet are they!

Silly Boy

So Calvin likes to play with things that he can easily get into his mouth...this is his favorite new toy. The funny thing is that he can't use his hands that well and so he loses the toy all the time, sometimes it falls on the ground, other times is gets caught on his wrist like a bracelet, but this time it got stuck on his face!!!! So funny!

Just for fun...

I just think that it is so cute when he raises his little feet up like this...he does it all the time!

Sleepy boy

Calvin always falls asleep in his Dad's arms!

A True Phillips

Aunt Amy brought Calvin an NC State t-shirt!!!
