Cal Update

What's new with Cal?  Well, for one he's got this sitting thing totally down.  He's able to balance really well, even on a softer surface like a bed, and catches himself when he starts tilting.



I don't know what the big deal is.  Sitting is easy.

 Cal is now very good at eating off a spoon and continues to try new foods every few days.  So far he's had (in this order) rice cereal, carrots, avocado, bananas and prunes.  Bananas have been the clear favorite.  We couldn't get it in his mouth fast enough, and he was banging the tray for more!  Cal is still Cal though, and loves to make a mess at mealtime.  Here he is after his lunch of prunes:



Get that camera away.  I don't want my fans to see me like this.

 We were actually doing relatively well until Cal decided to stick his hand in his mouth (before he swallowed what was in it), and then proceeded to smear his hand all over his face, the tray, his bib, even his leg.  That was a fun cleanup.

Cal clearly wants to be mobile.  He's very fidgety, and loves to bounce either in the exersaucer or his bouncy seat.

Cal isn't crawling yet, so when he's on the ground, he gets around by spinning on his tummy and pushing backwards.  Since this form of locomotion uses both hands, he's taken to carrying his toys in his mouth.

Most of the time Cal just wants to play, play, play.   He is all about getting his hands on anything and everything, and then it goes right into his mouth.

What do you think I should go for first?  Toy box or toolbox?

 

This toy box looks promising.



Wait, forget that.  I can get this one in my mouth!



Every man should have a remote.

 

Be sure you keep your hands off mine.
