Cal's 4 month Doctor Appointment

These are just a few pictures of Cal in the last few weeks.We had his four month appointment yesterday. He is 17lbs 8oz which is in the 90th percentile. He is 27in long which is in the 96th percentile and his head is 17 1/2in which is in the 94th percentile. He just started wearing 6 to 9 month clothes. I can't believe how fast he is growing and changing! Here are a few videos of Cal in the past few weeks too.

Out to Eat

Last week we finally got to hang out with Matt and Alycia and their son Parker. We had lots of fun eating and watching the Twins game on TV since niether of us have cable so we don't get to see many games. Cal and Parker did great and are already liking each other.

Shakopee Derby Days Parade

Our church was in the Derby Days Parade again this year. The heat index that day was over 100 degrees. We decided it was too hot for Cal so he and I stayed home and Matt went and helped.

Cal Swimming

Cal loves to swim in the lake at Nana and Papa's house. We got him a little floating boat at the Living Hope garage sale and he loves it! He also likes his new swim shirt that keeps him warm in the water.









He also loved going swimming in the lake off the boat with mommy, daddy, his cousins, and his aunt Sarah.

Cal's First Hair Cut

Cal's hair was getting in his eyes so we decided to be brave and cut his hair tonight. Here is a picture of him right before we cut it (He is starting to use those muscles in his legs to stand up). Here is all the hair we cut off. And this is the picture of Cal after the hair cut and shower. He looks so grown up. You can really see how light his hair has gotten now!

Anniversary and Birthday Flight

Matt surprised me with a flight for our anniversary and my birthday. Matt works with a guy who is a pilot and has his own four seater plane and he offered to take us flying. It was a lot of fun and everything was really beautiful from the air. Our pictures don't really do it justice since our camera isn't the best, but it will give you an idea.
We started out at the airport in Glencoe.









First we flew over by Green Isle and I got to show Matt the farm where I grew up from the air.


It is the farm closest to the wing of the plane.They aren't the best pictures, but we don't have much of a zoom on our camera.




Then we flew up the Minnesota River Valley.






Then we flew over Sring Lake where Matt's parents live.








Then we flew over Savage and found our house. Our house is in between the big park and the little pond.





Then we headed up to fly over Lake Minnetonka.It was neat to see all the sailboats on the water.

While we were over Minnetonka Matt poured the champenge he had brought and gave me a pretty new watch for my birthday.













Then we flew over Lake Waconia.

Finally, we got to see a beautiful sunset from the air before we landed.

First time bowling

We took Cal bowling yesterday with Sarah, Mike and their kids. We had lots of fun.
The kids did a great job of bowling without bumpers.












Cal was very patient with being passed around, but did fall asleep in the end.

Tummy Time

One of Cal's favorite things to do is sit in his boppy. You can see with his tummy time he starts out holding him self up really well and as he gets tired he sinks down. And just so you know, he doesn't actually have a unibrow. When he raises his eyebrows, the muscle makes a shadow that looks like a unibrow.Pretty funny!

Fishing with Cael and Cal

We had fun taking my sister Meghan and her husband Dax and my nephew Cael fishing while they were here visiting. Matt and Cael bonded over fishing.















Later while Matt cleaned fish and Dax and Meghan kept fishing Cael and I had some fun on the slides into the lake.



The next morning Cael and I bonded over cartoons with breakfast in bed.
