And toddle he does - he fairly zooms around the house. That and his dancing (I wish I could get it on video, but he is a camera hog and as soon as it comes out, he is right over) is quite entertaining for Gary and I, and family that comes for a visit.
I'm going to leave you with a photo of Calder and I a year ago. Of course, Calder was in my belly at the time! In this picture I am 37 weeks pregnant, and looking quite huge, but I get even bigger. I'm posting this picture I guess because I am feeling a little emotional. My baby is not so much a baby anymore!!!

What a beautiful belly, Elizabeth! It just doesn't seem possible that it was a YEAR ago we were both huge like that! And now our kids are walking all over the place. I think spending the first year at home with this is amazing and I wouldn't trade this for the world. Sure the money sucks but then again, money isn't everything, right?
ReplyDeleteThat's so great that calder is standing on his own now! Wow! I love hearing what he's doing because I know it won't be long before Rachel figures out that kind of stuff. She's still just walking everywhere and using the walls or furniture to help herself stand up. She does play a cute game though where she is on her hands and feet and looks through her legs at you. It's adorable!
Anyway, congrats Calder - you are quite the little MAN!!!
Elizabeth, I really enjoy all of your entries in the blog....Your sentiments are so heartfelt, and very emotional too..may I add! I know, I can't believe how fast Calder has grown up..I remember just like it was yesterday when I was at work and heard that you had a beautiful and healthy baby boy. Boy, was I bawling!! You and Gary are very fortunate to be so blessed, and we all love Calder so much...Its great being an Aunt, and to also be able to help out whenever I can, as I can see that being a parent is a very challenging job- both emotionally and physically...and of course is an adjustment. Calder has turned out to be such a loving, kind and such a smart little guy!! I am very much looking forward to his first birthday party- I can't wait!!
