Calvin's regular hangout




Morten and Frederikke came for a visit, so we took them to....wait for it...the martini bar! We ordered afternoon tea and martinis and bumped into some friends there (who asked if we even had a home or just lived at the Egerton ha ha)

Oxford Street with Dad


Martin calls this his "I'm going to get beaten up" outfit, but I think he looks so cute in his little sweater vest!

Christina's Birthday aka Calvin's Lovefest



We went down to the Hoare House for Christina's birthday and Calvin couldn't decide who he loved more, Kristine or Scarlet...Calvin was giggling when Kristine held him, but kept trying to hold Scarlet's hand (ah). Am I crazy or does Scarlet looks a little jealous?! :)

Great Aunt Inga and Great Uncle Bo


Calvin loved meeting his great aunt and uncle - one of their granddaughters is only a day younger than he is, so they knew exactly what to do!

Circus Cal

Calvin is starting to reach for EVERYTHING, and in particular loves my water glass. I think it feels good on his burning gums. This picture makes me laugh - looks like one of those crazy mirrors from the circus!

Yup, it's the Martini Bar again!


Martin's Aunt Inga and Uncle Bo came for a visit, so of course that required a trip to the martini bar. This time we finally got a shot of Calvin with Antonio himself - best bartender in London!

It's the drool bib again

Picnic in the Park

A walk in the Heath on Daddy's shoulder


Calvin's first cap

Monkey sun hat for my little monkey

We're Great Apes Too!


London Zoo with Cousin Anna


Aunt Trine and Cousin Anna came for a visit and we took Calvin for his first trip to the zoo! He slept through a lot of it, but that's him in the buggy in front of the monkeys :)

Drool machine

Get used to seeing that neckerchief - it's the only way we can combat the drool! I'm thinking some teeth will be appearing soon...

Changing table

Calvin is lying on his changing table underneath the gorgeous picture from his Farmor Gudrun - not sure how much longer it is going to be able to hang there though, since he has recently started grabbing everything in sight!

The Playhut


Our local area Camden has a ton of activities for babies, and Calvin and I are busy testing them all to find out which ones are our favorites. So far the Playhut was a big hit - it is literally a giant hut, filled with tons of toys and other children!

Montrachet


The reason Calvin is in his pajamas is because these were taken at 7am! Martin really wanted to see these fields so on our last day there we made an early morning trip (since we were up anyway). Vacations are a little different with a baby :)

With Daddy in the vineyards


You can really see how bald Calvin is getting! All his hair is falling out, especially on one side. It's getting too warm for hats so looks like it's going to be the combover...

Sunny day

Calvin and Cassius hanging out



Calvin learned a lot from his buddy - after France, he "talks" a lot more, can hold his head up, and is grabbing for everything in sight!

Cassius LOVED Martin's glasses


Mom and Dad at the tasting


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!
