Big Boy Room

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Calvin is almost 2 years old.  He's growing up quick and will be climbing out of his crib soon.  So, this spring we are clearing out the guest bedroom and turning it into Calvin's big boy room.

The plan started a couple months ago when Jenn and her friend drove out to Salt Lake City, UT, to visit IKEA.  She picked up Calvin's new twin sized bed.  It's a simple design that allows for 2 configurations.  While he's still little, the frame sits such that the mattress lies close to the floor.  But when he gets a little older, the frame can be flipped over, and the mattress lies a few feet above the floor, for a loft effect.  Pretty fun.

This past weekend we painted.  Jenn picked out a blue, orange, and green color scheme that is fun and matches his new bedspread.

After painting we were able to finally set up the new bed.  Calvin seems to like it a lot.  But, we still have to get some curtains up on the window before trying to transition him to the new room.  Then the fun will begin...trying to keep a 2 year old in bed for bed time.

Okay, so the growing little boy isn't the only reason for the move.  We have a new little person coming to share our house soon, and they are going to need a crib.  Say hello to Calvin's little brother or sister, who should be with us in 20 more weeks (mid September).

Sippy Cup Time!

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Calvin's growing up fast. Jenn bought some sippy cups to try out. It didn't take Calvin too long to figure out how to tip it up to get a drink. Jenn also witnessed Calvin stand up using the high chair for support, but then move to another chair that was not right next to the high chair while continuing to stand. Walking is around the corner! We've got a few more photos to put up on the website, too. Hopefully I'll get those posted this week. Enjoy the videos.



Calvin's Weekly Address

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Wow, freedom is awesome!  In the time Mom and Dad set me down in the living room and run to go to the bathroom, I'm in the bathroom doorway trying to figure out what their doing.  I can really get moving!  I used to move too fast for my front arms to keep up, and I'd push my face into the carpet, but I've figured that out.  Mom and Dad say I look like a little gecko without the tail.  Although, sometimes my legs move up into my clothes and then one of the legs in my clothes trails behind me like a tail.  Mom and Dad laugh about it.  And then I start laughing 'cause they're laughing.  We have lots of fun.
