Yard Sale Fun

Calder and Sandhya enjoyed playing outside in the beautiful weather last Saturday during our yard sale.
Cutest bus passenger!

They also enjoyed their first joint wagon ride!

21 Months Old

Without question, Calder's favorite toy right now is this train set. He seriously spends 90% of his

playtime with it. He's actually gotten really good at connecting the tracks as well as fixing the bridge when it falls. He's so busy when he's playing with it that I've found it nearly impossible to get a good picture of him with it. This is the best I could do!

Oh, and at 21 months, Calder is about 34 1/2 inches tall and tips the scales at 33.2 pounds!

Calder's Very Own Slide

A few weeks ago I got a great deal on this climbing cube/slide at a yard sale. We were definitely in need of more yard toys, since I have a feeling we'll be spending a lot of time outside this summer -- Calder is definitely an outdoor kid!

His favorite thing to do is to gather up all of his little cars at the top of the slide. Then he says "Set, Go!" as he sends each little car down the slide. Once all the cars have had a turn, he takes his turn! Then, he repeats the process over and over and over and over...

Happy Mother's Day!

We enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day brunch today, as well as some family photo ops!


After a fun-filled weekend, Calder was pooped out and ready for a long nap. :)

Choo Choo and Neigh Neigh!

We had a great time this weekend with John, Lauren and Madison (Dave's brother and family)! After the rain cleared on Saturday, we headed to a local park where Calder and Madison enjoyed a train ride and a carousel ride!!

Calder and Madison are ready for the ride!

Exploration...

When Calder wakes up in the morning, he is always content to play in his crib until we come in and get him. This is a wonderful thing -- especially on weekends! So, this morning I had a killer headache, and decided to let him play a little longer than usual so I could try and steal a few more zzzz's. To be quite honest, I'm not exactly sure how long he was playing. When I finally went in to get him, it was clear he had decided to use this extra time to do a little exploring...inside his pajamas. He was standing up in his crib with his pajamas halfway unzipped, one half of his diaper undone, completely exposing himself. When I walked in, he pointed 'down there' and proudly said "Mickey Mouse!" (Mickey is on his overnite diapers, and Calder has been crazy about him lately.) I had to smile, even though his sheets, blankets and pj's were completely soaked. Thank god for mattress covers!
