We have been trying to figure out the best way to carry little Calvin around the house since he's starting to demand to be held more. Right now we're attempting to use the bjorn ... the trick is that he doesn't like to face in very much, but doesn't really have the neck strength to face out yet. Oh well - soon enough. We also recently purchased a cool Ergo baby carrier that should start to make life a lot easier once we can use it at 16 weeks.
Calvin LOVES his baths ... he smiles and coos like crazy during them. And I love it because he loves it!
Because little man demands being held, this has become our favorite napping position. He'll grunt and squirm when we lay him down to nap, but he loves napping on our chests. Right now I'm not caring if it's a bad habit - I'm just relieved in the middle of the day to have us both be able to sleep.
Love this pic! Great example of why we swaddle him at night - his hands immediately fly up, often knocking him in the face. Comical, but the downside is that it also wakes him up.
Chubby bunny! Loving that sweet little tummy!
We've started reading to Calvin. He seems to like the colors in the books (at least for a few minutes) and likes to hear us talking to him. It's sweet.
He's a LONG kiddo! Already growing out of anything with feet in the 0-3 month size. He's just too long!
Now that Calvin is 8 weeks old, we can start using our BOB stroller! How wonderful that has been!!! The thing is so much easier to manuver than the Snap-n-go we were using and it even has shocks so no more caring about bumps! It's been super and is getting me out and exercising more too, which is great. My picture of the full stroller turned out blurry, but here is Calvin SMILING (in his sleep) and saying "thanks Nana and Papa! I love my stroller!"
And tummy time! Seriously ... cutest kid EVER.

Great pics of Calvin! Congratulations belatedly to you both. The picture of Calvin sleeping on Matt's chest brought back fond memories of my girls doing the same thing. You wish you could just stop time and hold on to those moments. Congrats to Matt, too, on the teaching gigs. That's really exciting and they sound like classes I'd like to sit in on! -- Tom Lank
Good grief... it looks like Calvin's getting man-boobs!

Thank you so much for sharing all these great pictures! And Heather, you look like your figure is 100% back. :)

Too cute!
With the ergo, did you buy the infant insert? I think that would allow you to use it earlier... and the sleeping on the chest--well, my 3 year old just fell asleep for her nap on my chest. thank goodness I've mastered the transfer to the bed without waking her up... I think I've crossed the bad habit part...
