2009-03-24T19:35:00.000-07:00

Wow, that's how fast time has gone, it's already the end of March. Not sure if anyone keeps up with this page anymore since I post pictures on facebook these days but for those of you that are here. Here's what Jan-March was like.....Still so in love with the little guy as you can tell. His most recent milestone....he sings the entire National Anthem.

December - 2 years old 29 lbs

2009-01-18T21:33:00.000-08:00

First trip to Disney, he absolutely loved it! We stayed at the POP Century Disney resort, there were huge silhouettes of skates on the side of the hotel which that in itself was the best because he thought it was a hockey hotel. No fear from the big headed characters and Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head were directly out our hotel door so he was simply amazed.

Our 3rd Christmas with Calvin. He loves presents, the thoughts of them, the fact that they were under the tree and all for him; but opening them, not so much! It took us through New Years to open the gifts from Santa. Better than the 2 months it took him from his 2nd birthday. The first gifts he opened was 5 5-minute bedtime books which we had to sit and read through each of them as soon as he opened them. His favorite gifts all involved hockey of course.

August and September

2008-11-01T11:01:00.000-07:00

August and September were great months. So much has happened including my transition to the 2's B room and my birthday party. Mommy and Daddy threw me a fun party at the park and took me to see Disney on Ice.

July 2008

2008-08-25T18:17:00.000-07:00

Calvin did great in his swimming lessons. We had a great time and by the time we left Calvin was able to swim to us under water, way to go CT!!!

Calvin enjoyed vacation in St. Augustine this summer. Push on the bottom picture to see the video. Calvin also enjoyed playing his Kazoo for us on the way there.

Pictures and my text never line up quite right so the below pictures are of me and my New Hampshire family that I love so dearly. You'll see me eating a banana with my Auntie Jen and Uncle Rodney. Walking with Grampy at the World Famous Duck Tours in Boston. Sitting on the stoop with Grammy and Great Grammy Teresa. Having fun with mommy and daddy in the same backyard Daddy grew up in. Pictures of me with my cousins, Payton and Cameron. And a picture of my Uncle Richie and Aunt Michelle on their house stoops in the sticks :-) Love and miss you all!!!

June 27.5 lbs - Growing too fast for Mommy

2008-06-23T17:46:00.000-07:00

Hello all,

Calvin is just growing up way too quickly. He has a vast vocabulary and says complete sentences (i.e. “Daddy, I read book” ) Everyday Derek and I are just amazed at how much he knows. Yesterday as I drove home from work, he pointed out the window clearly saying Dunkin Donuts, and then saying "Mommy coffee", "Calvin muffin" which only means Derek and I drink too much coffee  We are having so much fun with him although I’m still sad at how fast the time has gone……

I spent the Father's Day with Pop pop on a choo-choo train. Wrapping presents for Daddy's Birthday. Me in my cuddle spot under my blanket. Me brushing my teeth in my new Kohl's Doggie towel. Getting my third haircut, this time the lady buzzed me. Eating at the table playing with my drum sticks that Auntie Jen and Uncle Rodney bought for me (thank you by the way).... Hanging out with my cousin, Marisa, doing a puzzle. Went to Butterfly world with Aunt Terry.
And hanging out with Juna and my best buddy, Daddy :-)

April & May

Sorry for the delay but we've had a busy couple of months so I'm updating 2 months in one. Here are some of the things we've been up to lately.

Click on the last picture, it's a video. Hope you enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day

March 24.1 lbs (A YEAR AND 1/2 young already)

2008-04-01T19:08:00.000-07:00

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Calvin loves all his friends but his favorite is Juna! Look how proud he is to sit next to her.

Calvin is ready to join the army as you can see from the pictures above, he's quite the curious boy and will do anything to have a good time. Or he may settle for an office job, he's very comfortable sitting at a desk and working on the computer.

At the end of Feb. we went to Orlando to see Grammy, Grampy, Fun Uncle Rodney, Auntie Jen and his cousins Cameron and Payton, we had so much fun! He loved seeing all the animals and watching the shows. But most of all playing with his cousins...

Last but not least, his Harry Potter impersonation.

February already - 23.5lbs

2008-02-11T17:06:00.000-08:00

He got his first hockey lesson from Daddy.

Calvin loves the blocks Grammy and Grampy bought him, his favorite is dumping them out all over the floor but he's getting good with stacking them to make towers.

Calvin is eating an apple for the first time in mommy's car.He's even learned how to shave this month with Pop-pop.

He's doing great in school. Ms Nina and Leila tell me everyday how much fun he's having. Is already opening all the doors in the house, including the back slider lock bar, he hasn't quite figured out how to slide the door open. His favorite sport right now is basketball, every other word from his mouth is SHOOT!

December - 22 lbs MERRY CHRISTMAS

2008-01-07T20:25:00.001-08:00

Calvin's first hockey stick....

Playing with Daddy's hockey stick, it's a little too big for him but he doesn't care :-)

He wasn't so sure about Santa but enjoyed playing in the snow that JM Family imported from the North Pole.

Check out his muscle shirt, this is what he wore his first day attending the Toddler room, had to look tough :-) He's talking a lot now, repeating "or trying to anyway" to say everything Derek and I say, it's very cute, of course :-) He's walking, running and getting into everything indoors but his favorite is outside picking up rocks. He's crazy about the Wiggles, Elmo, all sports, music and loves books.

November 21.5 lbs

2008-01-07T20:15:00.000-08:00

This is CT winking again.

Thanksgiving was yummy, I loved Grandma's stuffing the best!!!

He got his first haircut this month...

We went to visit my cousins in Tampa, had a great time!!!!

October (21 lbs) – on the move

2007-11-07T19:32:00.000-08:00

Calvin got his first pair of shoes and putting them to the test. He also learned how to wink this month and has been flirting with all the girls at school. He absolutely loves baseball, football and hockey. Not only does he start clapping and raising his hands for touchdowns when he catches a glimpse on TV, even if Derek and I are just talking about it, he starts clapping.
He’s officially given up the bottle and formula. This kid has an appetite like you wouldn’t believe. Halloween was so much fun, he was a muscle man at the Fall Fest at school and a BAD ASS BABY for trick or treating. He loved handing out all the treats to the kids that came to our house as well as trick or treating himself.

This is his winking....

Signing Pop-pop's birthday card.

I love Juna kisses....

hang' in in my tub.

At the beach

This is when the fire truck came to my school..

It's not as easy as it looks...

Halloween

September - my birth month 21 lbs

2007-10-22T09:28:00.000-07:00

I'M ONE!!!!

This month was so exciting. I've been learing so much and I had my first taste of CAKE, YUM!

I'm applying for a job at JM Family for the help desk.

My teachers at day care love to dress me up and play with my hair....

August - 11 months old

2007-10-22T09:10:00.001-07:00

My hobbies are reading, playing with balls and Juna. This month I've been able to point to myself in pictures. And I can also point out my different family members and all my friends at school. When asked "Where's Jeremy", looking at pictures on a wall at day care, Calvin pointed to the real Jeremy playing on the floor. Everyone keeps telling us how smart he is. He also knows his 3 signs eat, more and milk and can point to the TV, clock, light and fan when you ask him...

July - 10 months old and yep we were right 20lbs 6oz.

2007-08-13T18:07:00.000-07:00

I'm 10 months old, yay!!!!!!!!! Even though peas are my favorite snack, mom says I still need to brush my teeth....

I enjoyed my first July 4th over at Chuck and Toby's with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Pop pop.......

June - we're guessing 20lbs

2007-06-24T07:26:00.000-07:00

SO MANY FIRSTS.....

Father’s day….being the most important. Calvin made matching shirts for him and Daddy with his painted hands and feet. We had a great day together celebrating Derek.

This has been a big development month. Calvin had his first vacation to NH, he did awesome on the plane, no tears :-) He added DUCK to his vocabulary, he can get to a sitting position all on his own, in fact he sits up in his crib now waiting patiently for us to get him in the morning. He’s also had his first two bottom teeth emerge, he’s able to pull himself up and he’s learned how to crawl. Our little boy is growing up way too fast!!!

May - 8 months old 19 lbs 2 oz

2007-06-24T07:07:00.000-07:00

I attended a Mother's day picnic with Calvin at day care. He made me a beautiful frame. Nina and Gineska used it to put a cute picture of Calvin in it with a tear jerker poem :-) Here's some photos of him making it for me. Also, Calvin was introduced to the pool and beach this month. Of course he LOVED it :-)

April - 7 months old

2007-06-24T06:51:00.000-07:00

Calvin is learning to talk, he was sounding out a few sounds like ga and mmmmm as he was looking at his bottle. Shortly after came DA DA DA DA and then MA MA a few days later. Although he doesn’t realize he’s what Ma and Da mean, it’s heart melting!!! We took our first little road trip to Lake Ockocheebee, CT loved it. Easter was a blast, he got all his swimming gear from the Easter Bunny. And we’ve started tasting all kinds of good foods; rice & barley cereals and even some cool stuff like squash & sweet potatoes. We also had exciting visitors this month. Auntie Jen, Payton and Grampy came to see me, we had so much fun!!!

March - 6 months old 17lbs 14oz

2007-04-13T18:11:00.000-07:00

What a wonderful month. Calvin was baptised on March 10th. We had lots of visitors; Unlce Rich, Aunt Michelle, Grammy and Grampy were here. Father Tony said that Calvin was the BEST baby ever. He didn't make a peep through the whole ceremony and just smiled as he was blessed. Thank you to all that were able to attend and we're sorry for those that were not able to. We missed you!

He went to his first hockey game, the Bruins vs. the Panthers. Calvin was so cute that we got into the owner’s suite and met Jeremy Jacobs and his wife, it’s nice to know people in high places (Thanks Paula and Jamie). Calvin loved the game and stayed awake cheering his team on the enitre game.

Calvin started eating cereal this month too, of course he loved it and wanted more more more..

He also loves hanging out on his chair, sporting his favorite teams. Baseball has started.......

February - 5 months old 16lbs 4oz

2007-03-04T18:55:00.000-08:00

Calvin has turned into such a little boy, we are seeing his personality more and more. Unfortunately he got his first illness, bronchitis, and had to be on antibiotics but through it all he was smiling and happy. He’s one tough little guy!!! He had his first taste of cereal, he’s not to sure about the whole spoon thing but he’s still eating. He rolled over for the first time and keeps rolling. He’s also found his thumb!!!

January - 15lbs 2oz 25 1/4 inches

2007-02-24T13:01:00.000-08:00

This has been a busy month. Calvin started Day Care on the 10th. He loves his teachers, Nina and Gineska. He has lots of friends and enjoys painting with his feet and doing craft projects. Needless to say he’s wiped out by the time he gets home.
This was for Martin Luther King day at school we painted on a poster board with our feet for the walk of life:

hello from day care

He giggled for the first time on January 7th when Derek and my dad were watching football and shouted out YAY, my mom was holding Calvin and repeating YAY which he started giggling, it was SO cute, we all ran in the room to watch him giggle.

December

2007-02-24T12:34:00.000-08:00

He’s growing up too fast. He’s such a little baby boy now, still enjoys moving around quite a bit and doesn’t want to miss out on anything. He’ll fight to stay awake and then screams when he’s had it. I’m enjoying every moment with him as we only have a couple of weeks left being home together. We’re still trying to do Tummy Time (aka Torture time) but Calvin still hates being on his belly…. His sleep position is still the same as it was 2 months ago. Score..............

MERRY CHRISTMAS CT!!!!

November - 11lbs 12oz 23 1/2 inches

2007-02-24T12:14:00.000-08:00

Things are going great, Calvin is awesome. We’ve been playing the formula game to see which formula will work best for him. He’s a busy little baby too, he enjoys each station within our house for about 15 minutes before you have to move him to another area. He doesn’t enjoy sleeping as much as he used to. He’s up all day long but sleeps through the night so we can’t complain.

Happy Thanksgiving....

October - 9lbs 4oz 20 1/4 inches

2007-02-24T07:31:00.000-08:00

He has changed so much this month from a tiny infant into a cooing baby. He does this cute little thing where he tucks his thumbs in his fists between his index and middle finger. (which is funny because my dad pointed out to me that I do the same thing). Wow! Calvin also sneezes twice in a row when the sun hits his eyes, just like his Daddy :-)

Happy Halloween....

WOW, we can’t believe the day has come!!!!

2007-02-24T07:25:00.000-08:00

Our little boy has entered the world.

We are so blessed!!!!

Nothing compares.....
