Test-driving the Kelty backpack!
Oh mum, really...?
At "Boatzart", Baywood's music at the pier.
I sit at the table with mummy and daddy!
Calan, amongst the wildflowers down by the bay. 
Calan, can sit up for short periods now.
Play-dates with our Parent participation buddies. Our wonderful little community.........
We are really enjoying being out and about locally, it's such a baby friendly community! We joined the North Coast Mommies group and met up with lots of other mamas and their little people for coffee today. It was a lot of fun and we were made to feel so welcome. We are going to meet again for breakfast tomorrow, I even baked muffins!
Calan and I had our last coffee morning with our friends from parent participation, sadly some of the mamas are going back to work. Parent participation classes finished for Summer a couple of weeks ago, but Calan and I were invited to come along for a longstanding coffee date on Tuesdays with some of the mamas and we've really enjoyed it. We will keep in contact though and hope to still meet up, through the "Osos girls get crafty!" craft evenings.
Kevin and I took Cal' to the free music on the pier event, at the weekend. The whole community seemed to have turned out and were listening to the music, either out on the bay in Kayaks or in deck chairs by the pier. It was a fun event and Calan did wonderfully with the small crowds.
On Saturday evening we went out to Atascedero Lake with friends for more free music. The weather was lovely and warm and the guys threw a frisbee while the mum's and babes chatted, it was a very family oriented event and a fun night out.
Now at 25 weeks, Calan is sitting up and is getting stronger and more stable with every day. He will reach out with great precision for toys now and transfers them easily from hand to hand. He likes to suck on his toe at diaper change time and has discovered a new love for bath times and being clothing free! He is happy to be out and about, often letting us know that he is ready for an after dinner stroll at nights! His nap schedule went completley to pot after our mini vacation earlier this month (even though we stuck to his routine perfectly while we were away), but we seem to be back on track again now. We are just waiting for Calan to show signs of needing to start solids (ie. an increased and sustained desire to nurse) and we will then start baby rice with him daily. After a lot of research, Kevin and I found a BPA/PVC (phthalate) free high chair and he likes to sit in it at dinner and breakfast times. We found a great website http://thesoftlanding.com/bpafrte.html
which has BPA/PVC free teethers, toys and feeding essentials so we bought a few things and have put all potentially toxic plastic toys out of mouths reach until Calan is old enough to play with them WITHOUT eating them! Better to be safe than sorry right?
We have also introduced Calan to his Kelty backpack, he fell asleep in it both times, so it must be pretty comfortable! We went to see the Seals and Pelicans between Cayucos and Cambria, what a beautiful spot it was for a wee walk.
Yup, I love our little slice of Paradise here in San Luis Obispo county!
