The boys

Aiden took his first steps last Thursday, Feb. 19. I went to get him at daycare and when he saw me, he let go and took 4 steps. I asked Ms. Kelly, our babysitter, if he had been doing this a lot and she said that she saw him a few times that day. How exciting! We will be celebrating Aiden's first birthday in less than two weeks, which is really scary, but really exciting. He has been eating a lot of table food and is pretty much off of formula. The next step will be to get rid of the bottle. Ever since he got his tubes put in, he has been sleeping 12+ hours at night and is pretty much down to one nap a day... good for daycare, bad for us! Below is a video of his new walking abilities.

Calvin is now 100% potty trained. He is wearing his "big boy undies" at night and is so proud to tell us when he has to & when he has already gone potty. His vocabulary is growing every day and he loves reading his "No, David" books. Yesterday at the grocery store, he even pushed his own shopping cart, helped put items in the cart, and put them on the belt for the cashier. He loved it!

Friday was picture day at school, and yes, I was the parent who sent my kids to school (yet again) in matching outfits. But, I must say they were ADORABLE!!!! They had jeans, white button-up shirts & ties. Calvin even had new shoes, which he told everyone about. We practiced our picture smile, so we'll see how that works out.


Aiden loves to dance to the "Bad Boys" theme song
