Time Is Flying By

I can't believe our new baby will be here in less than 4 weeks! (The picture above is the latest maternity shot.) I can't tell how much Lila and Calvin are aware of the big change that is about to occur. I'm sure they will love having a new brother or sister. It will be interesting to see how Calvin responds to the task of big brother though. Lila is a pro and I can always count on her to be my helper. She lifts me up when I'm down. Calvin is my comic relief. I wonder what this new baby will bring into the mix. I'm sure we will all figure out a way to manage this big change and enjoy it.

Here are some updates. Lila was a champ at potty training. I knew she would make it easy on me and I'm so very grateful. She is still learning but we are so very proud of her and this big step she has made. Calvin loves using utensils to eat and still loves to eat. He is also working on drinking from a cup without getting it all over the place. 

I don't have a latest picture of Chris but he's been working hard and makin' it look good;) 

He Speaks

Calvin is talking more and more! I can't believe how fast he is growing and changing. I know I probably say that in every post about my kids but it's so true. Calvin has been saying a few words for a while but even without the recognizable words, he is constantly communicating with us. His sounds/grunts are very distinct. I can ask him if he wants to eat and he immediately runs to his chair. He gets super excited and does a little dance when he hears anyone mention going upstairs or heads in the direction. I love watching him grow and develop:) He has also started to use utensils to eat and drink from a cup on his own. It's a work in progress but he enjoys doing it on his own. This is a fun stage and he is such a fun little boy:) Busy, but very fun! Here's a video of him talking.

In case you couldn't pick them out, he said bubble, Lila (his very first word to say), thank you, and dadda in the video. He also says momma and bye bye. He has said other words such as water and night night but they're not as commonly used as the others.
We love our Calvin!
