our boy turned two the day after Christmas. as mentioned, calvin was sick that week and we actually had to wake him up for his birthday party, but he seemed to have a good time. thanks to all those who celebrated with us!
my mom made calvin his own three layer cake. he ate the top layer for dinnerbecause he woke up right before we sang to him!
joshua sure enjoyed his rainbow chip cupcake
birthday bath with cousins...notice calvin's flopping mohawk!
calvin got to open his new birthday bike when we got home from utah. he's already getting the hang of the pedals and now just needs to work on steering. (i love the bulky helmet and knee and elbow pads, which have actually already come in handy!)this kid has quite the personality.
he loves to:
drive things - calvin loves anything you can drive: helicopters, airplanes, cars, motorcycles, bikes, scooters, and especially trucks - he always asks to drive them when he sees them; he has a book of different trucks and can name most of them (many of which i didn't even know existed); if i let him, he would sit behind the wheel of our car and drive for hours
hold things - our neighbors have a huge lab and calvin always asks if he can hold the puppy when he sees him; the other day he saw some construction workers on a roof in our neighborhood and asked if he could hold them; he loves holding babies and sometimes even asks to hold me
zoom things - he loves to zoom his race cars, train set, and anything that you can pretend is a race car or train
hug and kiss things - calvin loves our vacuum - he went into the closet and gave it a hug and kiss 3 times yesterday; he also kisses random stuff in books that he likes
play sports - everything has a mitt right now: baseball mitt, football mitt, soccer mitt...?
read books - he likes to read to his stuffed animals
jump and run - calvin doesn't walk anywhere unless i'm holding his hand and he has to
animals, especially puppies and monkeys
calvin has decided that he's pretty much done taking naps and he celebrated the other day by taking off all of his clothes AND his diaper during his "rest time." he's learning to count and can go up to 7, except when i ask him to. he's also learning his colors and his favorite is red. calvin is a jabber-box and has a "manly grunt-like voice" that he uses when he says stuff like basketball or big truck. he continues to shadow his daddy whenever russell is home and loves to help with anything.
we sure love this little boy!

What a funny kid. We sure do miss him. I hope that we will get to see him again soon. Tell him his aunt Katy will be waiting for her hugs.
