A visit from the Allens!

Last week my best friend Rachel and her husband Nate came to visit. Rachel and I were roommates freshman year and we used to hang out all the time after that, but last Christmas she moved to Arizona. I was so excited to see her and Nate after such a long time! Calvin was excited to meet her too! Every time she would talk to him or hold him he would smile and laugh! He LOVED her!

It took Rachel and I a while to convince Nate to hold him, but after about four minutes Nate was excited to have a new record of holding a baby before it started to cry! YAY! for Nate!

It was such a nice visit! There was a lot of eating out a staying up playing LEGO Star Wars! It was GREAT! Thanks Rachel and Nate for coming to visit!

Crafts with Rachel!

Rachel and I decided to make the best of our time and be "crafty". We always say how we want to be crafty and do all kinds of cute things, but we never end up doing anything. BUT...last week we finally did some crafts! YAY!

Rachel loves to make things for Calvin, so she found this cute pattern for a nursing cover...which I really needed. It works so much better than just a blanket!

We thought that it was so simple and that it would only take an hour or less, but it took us about three hours to finish! Calvin got tired of waiting...

We also tried to make these applique onesies...it might look good in the picture, but up close it is a total mess! Rachel and I were getting SO frustrated! We made a lot more than just this one...but lets just say that those didn't turn out as well!

Calvin doesn't seem to like our work anymore than we did!

Calvin LOVES his bouncy seat!

Calvin usually likes his bouncy seat, but when my mom put these colorful rings on there...he went CRAZY!

For Aunt Laura!

We try new outfits on Calvin all the time! We put this cute night time outfit on him the other night! Aunt Laura gave it to us at the baby shower! I promise that he was happy while he was wearing it, despite this sad picture! He wears this almost every night! Thanks Laura!

So sad...

Calvin already knows how to get his way! What a pitiful face!

Cal's Two Month Checkup

Today Calvin went to his two month check up. He got three shots and he is not a happy boy! He has been busy growing though, he is 12 1/2 lbs. and 24 inches long.

This is one of the oriole outfits the PaPa brought out with him this month.

Calvin's Blessing

Calvin was blessed this past Sunday. He was sleeping when we got to church, but right before Nick got up he woke up and started crying...and I forgot to pack his pacifier! But even with him crying, Nick did a wonderful job! It was a very happy day!
