Milestones:

Calvin is finally sitting up on his own! It's not 100% perfected (he still sometimes topples over to the side), but he's doing so great!

Calvin has also started clapping his hands and dancing! Music will come on from one of his many toys and he starts bobbing to the music--it's the cutest thing!

Calvin is babbling more than ever! We're constantly joking about his friend, "Bob," because his babbling is basically, "bobbobbobbobbobbobbob..."
It's quite adorable :)

I took Calvin to the aquarium for the first time and he loved it! He was amazed by the sharks!

We also started going to Gymboree classes. It’s a fun indoor activity for him to beat this brutal summer heat…that is of course on the days we’re not at the beach! He has grown to love being in the water J

Calvin finally met Uncle Frank for the first time this month!!! He absolutely loved every minute he got to spend with him!!!
