New things

Things that are new around the Kaemingk house:

1) Calvin the velociraptor chatting with daddy:


2) Sleep!!! We started sleep training Calvin about a week ago. He put up a fight the first night but has been doing great since. This means he goes down to bed awake and then puts himself to sleep, generally after about 5 minutes of motorboating and singing. It also means that he is no longer eating 20 times a night, but just once! This is HUGE.

3) Calvin is now eating his solids in the big boy chair at the table.


4) Boys that play hard need more baths ... so do boys that drool profusely. Baths (and consequently, naked time) have become a part of our nightly routine.


5) Lots and lots of play time! Calvin loves practicing sitting up, standing, and attempting the roll over. His favorite right now is trying to sit up on his own. He's also exploring the exersaucer and johnny jump up. He hasn't figured out how to bounce himself around yet, but he really likes to lay backwards in it and stare at the ceiling lights. Funny boy.


6) Clothes! Thanks to Matt and Beth Shupper for the many many boxes of big boy clothes. We especially love the Whitworth garb!


7) Sickness ... sadly Calvin has his first cold. We're headed to the doctor tomorrow morning to make sure it's on the mend as he has seemed pretty mad about it the last day or so.

It seems like Calvin is up to new things every day! It's a blessing for Matt and I to be able to be home so much with him to watch him grow up!
