2nd Place!

Alright, I'll admit it, I think that Calvin is pretty cute. I knew I was biased, so, it was nice to receive the package from Utah Valley Magazine saying that he was 2nd place for "Cutest Cutie Born in 2007" ! Someone else thinks so too! So, he got a mini super soft blanket doohickey, a gift certificate and a discount card to baby places. Plus, he will be in the magazine. Yeah, I know, Utah Valley Magazine - we still think it is fun = ). Thanks to everyone who gave us input on which pictures to send in, I'm sure that your good taste was helpful. I think this one was the favorite. They say that you can look at it electronically at uvmag.com , but I imagine that you will have to wait until May (it is in the May/June issue.)

Now I want to be a baby!

Ever since I made the crib baby ready again it is Calvin's favorite spot! In this case he made himself a comfortable bed inside. I am not sure that we are going to have a happy boy when a new little girl is sleeping in "his" bed.

The Artiste in the boy

Calvin loves to draw and color. Must be inherited from his father - the elder artiste in the family. I just pretend that they didn't kick me out of art school!

How to rip up a bed successfully!

Too bad I didn't video this one! Last week Calvin and his friend Karver climbed into our bed, which was made, and commenced destruction! I think Calvin can definitely take the blame for this one. He showed Karver exactly how cool it is to jump around and mangle a big bed. Karver caught on quickly and soon there were boys rolling and crashing all around the bed. It looked like fun to me!

Calvin and Hobbes - napping

Shaving

Someone wants to be like Dad! By the way, Chris had his shirt off and was shaving in the background, but I didn't think he wanted to be seen = ).

Must be in the genes ...

Can you believe it? Two posts in one week! Yeah, I am pretty shocked myself. I will have to keep the camera out more often. Look at the good stuff that I can capture when it is easy to get to!
To begin with, we need to discuss the child shooting his mini crossbow at the lined up action figures. So gleeful! As far as I know he came up with this scenario all on his own. I watched him happily pull out all components and set this up and I think this was the first time (I'll have to check with Chris later on). Is it the Y-chromosome? Maybe because his Y-chromosome definitely comes from the gun-enthusiastic Lambert side? Who knows? At least he is having fun!
Now, I had to put the sleeping one up because I thought it was cute. Calvin and Chris taking a nap together on separate beds. I am thinking that Chris outgrew that blanket size some time ago, but he still looks pretty comfortable.

Finally, the train pics. Calvin was showing off his train and he helped me to take the lovely bottom picture of the train in motion. I'm glad that Calvin still loves this thing. It is pretty fun.
