Calvin's first sip of wine

He doesn't look too impressed!

In the wine cellar

Trip to Burgundy with the Birds

We headed off to the Burgundy area of France for the week before Easter with Tom and Emerald and their son Cassius, who is 3 months older than Calvin. Luckily for us Calvin is a really relaxed traveller!

16 week check-up

Calvin went in for his last round of immunisations and weighed in at 7.68kg (16.9lbs) and 71cm (28 inches) - my big boy!

A walk in the Heath

We went for a walk in the Heath, and Martin went as "off-road" as we could with the buggy - Calvin loved the bumpy ride!

Matching shirts!

You can't really tell, but the boys are wearing the cutest matching shirts with their names on them....Kristi and I have plans to buy them a matching outfit every year, much to the disgust of our husbands :)

Baby Blue Eyes

Matching PJs for the boys - too cute!

K & M & AJ & C in the Grand Place

Kissing my little man

Chatty baby

Whenever people are around, Calvin is quiet or coos like a normal baby....so I filmed him making his growls so everyone would believe me! It makes me laugh every time - my little nutter :)

A couple of pics of my cutie pie

Hanging out with Mama in the hotel room

Trip Number 9

Kristi and I take a trip every year...I'm sure you have all heard about our (mis)adventures! Someday hopefully the boys will continue the tradition :)

2000 Mexico/New Orleans 2001 New York 2002 Scotland
2003 Spain/Morocco 2004 France/Venice
2005 Istanbul/Bulgaria/Malta 2006 Dublin
2007 Prague/Berlin 2008 Chicago 2009 Brussels

Taxi ride to the Eurostar

Calvin is technically way too young to be in this car seat, but I had no other option of getting to the train station so had to hope the cab driver didn't notice! Luckily Calvin cooperated and did his best big boy impression :)

Bathtime with AJ

The boys loved hanging out with each other - and AJ helped with the lotion!

Pub visit

Since this was Lou's first time to London, we showed him one of our favorite things about living here - pubs! This is a sleepy Calvin cuddling with his daddy.

Strolling Dads

The Metallos came for a visit and Martin and Lou pushed their sons while Kristi and I got a chance to talk (and run after them taking photos!)

Calvin and AJ meet for the first time

Baby Massage

Calvin and I went to Baby Massage at the Highgate Community Centre (all free - gotta love England!) It is supposed to be bonding time between mama and baby, with lots of eye contact - but Calvin was too busy living up to his onesie and checking out the older woman (a 5 month old!) next to him :)

Farmor and Jan

Gudrun (Farmor) and Jan came for a visit. It was Jan's first time in London, so we showed him all the important places like the martini bar (above) and a pub (below).

Tummy Time

Calvin's definitely not impressed.

Play date with Maya

Emma and Maya came over for coffee and a play session, which at 3 months old pretty much just involves lying on a play mat next to each other. At one point they were holding hands...almost certainly by accident, but still so cute!

At Baby Yoga with Scarlett

Courtney, Scarlett, Calvin and I all went to Baby Yoga in Primrose Hill. More dance session for babies than yoga for mommies, but good fun nonetheless. As a size comparison - Scarlett is 8 months old, Calvin 3 months...he's my big boy!

Eloise and Calvin

We got two more cats to keep Bella company, Alfie and Eloise. They all share the same father, so they are actually half-siblings. Eloise is a total rascal and loves to be where the attention is, which is usually centred around Calvin! Alfie still hasn't come out from under the bed....

Wagamama with Courtney

I think I'd like one of those!

12 Week Checkup

At his 12 week check-up, Calvin was 6.86kg and 66cm, which brought him back to the 99.5% in height and 80% in weight. Let's hope he can keep that ratio for awhile!

A giggle for Mama!
