Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all of our family and friends! We love and miss you all!

A NEW CAR!

Calder's favorite gift of the day was definitely his new car. He is 100% IN LOVE with it. I don't think he stepped away from it for more than 10 minutes all day (aside from naps and meals!)

Calder turned into a complete chatterbox upon entering the car. He would jabber away in his own little language -- excitedly talking about his new car. I hope to post a video soon, because he had Dave, my mom and I in stitches tonight! He is truly a joy to be around! :)

Christmas Morning

It didn't take Calder long to find his stocking this morning! He pointed right to it and said 'Jor' (Curious George). He must have been a very good boy -- his stocking was the only one that was overflowing!
Calder enjoyed a yummy pancake breakfast!
More Curious George stuff! Can you tell he's a favorite?

Fun at the mall!

On Christmas Eve, my mom and I took Calder to a local mall for a train ride. I think he enjoyed the train ride...but I can't be sure. He was so serious the whole time -- never even cracked a smile!

After the train ride, he definitely enjoyed himself in the soft play area!

Giddyup, froggy!

Holiday Sing-a-long

We had a fun time this weekend at a holiday sing-a-long that featured a popular local kids band. It was a bit much for Calder at first, but he loosened up and started showing off some of his dance moves once we moved to the back of the room.

Still building...

Calder is obsessed with stacking everything. I turned around from unloading groceries to find Calder stacking the yogurt cups! Perhaps we have an architect on our hands?

A day at daycare

Calder just transitioned to a new room at daycare, and he is doing so great! He has already learned that he is supposed to wash his hands when he arrives at school.
Calder and his little friends all ready for lunch. Check out those rosy cheeks!
Showing off another new skill he has picked up at daycare. He gets so excited when he gets to drink out of a 'big boy' cup. He's very proud of himself!

His teachers say he normally eats pretty well, but on this particular day, he refused to eat his lunch. My guess is he doesn't want Mommy to know that he really will eat meat and vegetables! (He certainly won't at home!)
