Happy Birthday Cal!

I can't believe our baby is 1 year old today! Time goes by way too fast. We love our little Cal and he is such a joy in our lives. He has such a cute little personality and is a very silly little boy! He certainly knows how to pull faces! He is growing up so fast. He started walking a few weeks ago and is now cruising everywhere. Grayson thinks it's pretty cool that he walks and they are already playing chase. The only word he says is Mama, but that is normally only when he is crying....go figure. But, he is very good at putting his arms in the air when daddy says "touchdown", he waves hi and bye, and his favorite game is peek-a-boo. He has many other awesome talents too!

Church was canceled today because of snow and icy roads, so we got to stay home and celebrate Cal's big day all day! He opened his presents this morning.....and many thanks to his big brother Gray for showing him how it's done.





We planned on having a little get together with some friends and family, but because of the time of year many were out of town and some were not able to make it because of the weather....so we celebrated on our own. But, we had a lot of fun....plus we got to stay in our pajamas ALL DAY!

Grayson was so excited that instead of waiting until after dinner for cupcakes....we sang "Happy Birthday" and had our cupcakes as an appetizer! Cal LOVED them! He ate all of his plus the bottom half of Grayson's (which Gray did not eat because he ate all the frosting off the top and did not want the bottom....but of course wanted another cupcake, which he only ate the top of again!)


Overall, we had a great day! We are so happy that Calvin is a part of our family and we love him so much!

I just wanted to post a few pics from Cal's first year.....what a handsome little boy!

Cal got RSV when he was 3 weeks old and had to stay in the hospital for a week. It was a really scary time, but he pulled through and is now healthier than ever!
