Party at the playground!

Calder and Sandhya were just the right size to share a swing! It was so much fun!


Family fun on the slide!

Daddy and his mini-me

Calder loves to be just like Daddy!

Sleepy Boy

Sleepy boy in Daddy's arms.

Mommy's Flowers

Mommy wanted me to pose so she could take a picture of her pretty flowers, but I was much more interested in seeing what mulch tastes like!

9 Months Old

Here's Calder enjoying a cracker on his 9 month birthday. His new stats: 22 lbs, 11oz. and 29 inches tall!

First Mother's Day

We celebrated my first Mother's Day today! Calder got me a very special gift -- peridot earrings (his birthstone). I love them!

Little Soccer Star

Calder loves his soccer ball! He enjoys playing catch with Mommy and Daddy, and will even entertain himself by throwing the ball and then chasing after it, over and over again!

Bathtime Fun

Calder loves watching the water flow out of the faucet, and enjoys trying to 'catch' it in his little fingers.

So, perhaps I'm a bit biased, but isn't this just the cutest little bum you've ever seen!?

Reflection

Having fun with the cute little boy inside the dishwasher!

Peas and Carrots!

Calder loved peas and carrots! Unfortunately the excitement lasted for only about 2 meals before he was ready for something new.

Calder and Sam

Calder had lots of fun playing with his friend Sam, who showed him how to walk like a big boy!

Cousins!

Courtney and Lisa with their little babes!

Four Generations

Calder was very excited to have his picture taken with Mommy, Grandma and Great-Grandma!

Playing Nicely

Calder and Reese playing 'nicely' (for a few seconds) with one of Reese's toys. Reese wasn't too happy when Calder sat on her a few minutes later!

Ella's party

Ella, Jacob, Calder and Reese at Ella's birthday party. Believe it or not, this is the best picture I could get of all 4 kids. Ella seems to be the only one paying attention to the camera!

Up he goes!

Climbing his first step at Lisa & Nate's house!

As we predicted, once we returned home, he decided that our steps were not such a challenge after all...and promptly started climbing!

Little Fireman

Calder loves riding around on his little firetruck. But, he needs some help from Mommy or Daddy to actually get anywhere!
