Calan, at Avilla valley Barn


So smiley, he loves to be at the table

Calan really loves his door bouncer

Your'e so funny mama!


Daddy and Calan's hands

At the library

I love my purple hippo!


Calan turns 20 weeks old.

Calan is 20 weeks old now and what a busy time we've had!

Calan has started to suck on his bottom lip this week and has been so smiley, I must have taken hundreds of photos! He laughs every time he's tired for some reason, really enjoying peek a boo and kisses on his tummy. He is pulling his little knees up under his tummy when he lies on his playmats and has just noticed the digital photo frame in our bedroom, watching it intently. He has mastered his door bouncer, boinging away with real enthusiasm and he is placing both hands on the table top when he is on our laps, almost as if he is playing the piano! He receieved some great new clothes and toys from his Gran and Grandad, as did mummy, so it was like Christmas!
On Tuesday, my friend Alissa and her son Atticus, (born the day before Calan) came with us to the library, where we had fun selecting new books for our Summer program for lap readers (read 20 books, get a goody bag!).
Friday was parent participation class. Due to his furlough days (I call them family days), Daddy came along too and had a great time. Calan slept through a lot of the class, nursing and napping, as did Atticus, but us parents got lots of good info!
Later that same day we went to the Mission Plaza in SLO, to watch one of the free Summer concerts. Our friends' band, "Cuesta Ridge Mountain Boys", were playing. We met up with lots of other friends and had a really sociable, fun evening. Calan did so well, playing on a blanket, being walked around and nursing/napping to his little hearts content.
Saturday saw us back in SLO for a friends pre-school graduation party, where we had a lot of fun, chatting with parents and watching the older kids splashing about in the pool. Again, Calan did us proud, watching, nursing and napping happily.
On Sunday we met Alissa and Atticus at Avilla Valley Barn, where we wandered around the gift shops, sampled the yummy baking and enjoyed the sunshine and the babes.
A really lovely week, with some great memories and exciting changes in our little guy!
