Calvin has twelve teeth! He’s been such a trooper getting so many (six in the last three months) teeth all at once.

Calvin has been doing quite a bit of traveling the last few months. We took a trip to visit cousin Mikie for his birthday in West Palm Beach and had a blast! Calvin and his cousins jumped on trampolines at SkyZone to celebrate! About two months after, we traveled back for the weekend to see Uncle Frank who came down for a wedding. Calvin adores his uncles and cousins and loves spending time with them!

My cousin Bonnie got married at the end of March in New York, so we took a trip for the big event! We had a jam packed schedule the entire trip, and Calvin did great even being sick the whole time. Calvin enjoyed the plane ride, visited with lots of mommy’s side of the family, went sightseeing around Manhattan (even rode the subway!), and had such fun at the wedding reception (he napped through the entire ceremony). Calvin even got to see snow for the first time! By the end of the trip, he was so exhausted he fell asleep before our plane even took off and slept the whole way home.

Our friends Eric and Vanessa got married the next weekend about an hour south of where we live on Nokomis Beach. Tim and I were both part of the bridal party, so we made a long weekend and stayed a few days. The wedding was just picture perfect, and Calvin had such a great time running around and playing on the beach!

Traveling is always fun, but it was certainly nice to finally get home and sleep in our own beds!

Height: 32.75 inches (90^th percentile)

Diaper Size: five

Clothing Size: 24 months & 2T

Eating Schedule: three meals a day with two snacks in between.  Calvin likes just about anything, but some of his current favorites are strawberries, blueberries, ham and cheese puffs.

Milestones: Calvin started walking at 13 months!

Calvin has six teeth, but has at least two coming in (he’s been drooling like crazy!)

Calvin has developed just the cutest little personality. He loves listening to music and dancing! He even has a signature dance move that is shown particularly during Mickey Mouse Clubhouse’s, “Hot Dog Song.” He loves being outside, playing at the park and watching the ducks and sandhill cranes in our backyard. He can open and shut doors, “knock knock,” on the window and wave, “bye bye!”

Calvin and Lexi have really started to become buddies. Lexi will walk up to him when she wants to play and start to playfully growl at him. Calvin knows which toys are hers and he tries to throw them as far as he can. Other times, Calvin is basically chasing after her and she runs him around in circles!

Some other favorite things:
-riding in the race car shopping cart at Publix
-riding in his car and wagon
-running super fast
-slam dunking basketballs and kicking his soccer ball
-Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" and Bruno Mars's "Uptown Funk"
-watching our lawn guy cut the grass
-trucks
-watching planes fly by

Fun at the park!
