More Singing and Dancing

More songs and dancing from courtney on Vimeo.

We had a great afternoon with friends today! We started with a kids music event at a local coffee house, followed by dinner and ice cream!

Calder, Landon and Sam getting musical with Mr. Don! They had him all to themselves towards the end of his show.

Side Note: This may be my last posting for a while. Our computer goes in the shop tomorrow for a random sparking sound and mysterious smoking. Oh, and it has a very distinct B.O. smell. Who would have thought??

The Choo Choo Dance

This is Calder's Choo Choo Dance. We believe he picked it up by watching a kids 'music video' that came on right after Mickey Mouse Clubhouse the other day. The music video was all about trains, and Calder was digging it! I actually didn't get the camera out in time for the much better performance that he gave moments earlier...but you'll get the idea from this video.

Elefun!

My friend Kelly bought Calder this adorable Elephant game. It has a little fan inside that blows 'butterflies' out of the elephant's trunk, and the idea is to catch the butterflies with your butterfly net. Calder gets so excited when we play! He's not too keen on catching the butterflies himself -- he prefers to wait until Mommy or Daddy have caught some, and then he steals their net. And he also enjoys wearing the nets as hats. :)

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. :)
