The 411 on Calvin

So Calvin is growing up so fast I cant even believe it. He is 3 months now and there are a few things we have figured out about our little guy. Here are a few pictures to show what we have learned. Here is Calvin just snoozin away in his car seat. we have found that when Calvi gets tired he starts to get restless and the way to instantly calm him down is put something over his eyes. Anything works blanket, burp-cloth, cloths, really whatever is handy at the time.
It is really amazing how fast he just calms down when his eyes are covered. It really is a wonderful thing we have discover. Next in these pictures you will notice a silly little yellow duck, he loves his Mr. Duck!! It is just a silly duck that when you pull the handle it rattles and i clip it to everything and he just smiles and laughs like crazy at it. Mr. Duck can entertain for hours!!
Here is just an example of how really anything works here he has his pj on his head and he is fast asleep.
We have this little play mat that he loves. Whenever he gets fussy Tyler says send him to the farm, and this is what we he is talking about. there is this little barn with a cow that moves and it plays music (which we both have memorized by now) he LOVES it. He is just laying there in the barn with his Mr. Duck and his eyes covered fast asleep what a life!!!
So there are a few things about our little Calvi, eyes covered, Mr. Duck and the farm barn. And what the heck happened here, where did my little 5 1/2 lb baby go!!! What a little chub we just Love him!!!

A day at the ZOO!!!

Yeah for the zoo. Jill and Kyle called up on Saturday morning and wanted to go to the Idaho Falls zoo. Brooke, Clara, Calvin and I all went on down to meet them. I was impressed. For a zoo in eastern Idaho it was awesome! I would totally go again it was so much fun! here is calvin he just hung out like this the whole time he loved it.
Here is us girls (now i cant say that because Calvin) hangin out in the kids petting zoo section. they had toys and stuff clara liked crawling all over them!
Here is kyle, Jill clara and Brooke all looking at these huge birds we saw so many animals i dont know what they were. There was lots of animals at this zoo, tigers, lions, flamingos, birds, zebras, penguins, otters all kinds of fun stuff. it took us a good 2 hours to go through the whole thing. it was really fun.
This silly little goat kept sticking his tongue out through the gate and he almost licked calvin! It was a great day at the zoo!!

Just Another Day

So it is still a little chilly outside so we have been still hangin out inside for a lot of the time. Calvin has sure turned into a happy little guy it is so fun to just have him lay next to me and we just talk laugh and wiggle! It is so much fun to hang out together, i love every minute of it!
Our newest excitement is this sweet ride! Tylers parents had this bike tailor in their garage so we got it down and hooked it up and Calvin La La LOVES it!! We put him in it the first time and you could not measure the smile on his face it was so big!! We have really only been able to ride it around for 2 days since we got it and we have a great time!
Here is Calvin just hangin out in his car seat in the back yard. I have been working on getting our back patio just the way i want it and it was a nice day and he just sat there talking to me in his cute little baseball cap!
Here we are with tylers mom and bro. We took Calvin for a walk around the neighborhood and he loved it just talking and giggling along the whole way. He has been becoming more vocal the last couple weeks and it makes me so happy, but sad at the same time cause he is growing up so fast!

Calvins Blessing Day!

So today was our little mans big day! he was so cute! he had a cute little tux that his Gma Rainsdon got him and we had to do some taking in! Calvin has been eating so much the last two weeks so he did good to fit in his outfit. everything fit ok accept his suit coat. so he wore the shirt, vest and bow tie.
Here is our little family, Calvin was such a good boy and let everyone hold him.
Here is my family the Rainsdons.
Here is Tylers family the Flints and...
the Stuarts.
Here are a few of our friends that came to the lunch, the Congers and Dustin. We had breakfast for lunch with waffles, pancakes, sausage, fruit, juice! it was great. It was so nice to have everyone there to support our little calvin! thanks to all of you who were able to comedown and spend the weekend with us. And for those who woke up so early to come to our church at 8:30 to be there for the blessing. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family and friends who support and love us! thanks!!!!!
