It is so entertaining to see a baby begin to exert his/her personality. I've seen it in my little sisters when they were babies, and now in my nieces and nephews, but I guess I forgot how early and how opinionated those little personalities can be!
Calvin is a happy boy-and really mellow when he's feeling good. I've been so intrigued lately by his darling little preferences. For example, I sing lots of songs to him throughout the day, and I've noticed that there is one in particular (the "Ladybug" song) that always seems to entertain/soothe him. He listens and smiles, raises his eyebrows, and coos.
On the other hand, one of my favorite songs is "Baby Mine" from Dumbo, but Cal doesn't seem to like it. I usually have to save it for when he is really sleepy, because if he is alert at all his bottom lip curls under, he frowns and tears start to well up. Talk about the most heart-breaking facial expression. He seems to know the song is sad, even without understanding the words or knowing the story behind it. I guess we'll just stick to bugs for now! Here are a few more of Cal's preferences that we've noticed so far.
Cal loves: to kick (&kick&kick&kick!), mom and dad to sing songs, watching trees, to play and laugh, the vacuum, his rocking chair, outside, to eat (bet you couldn't guess), naps on mom's lap.
Cal despises: changing clothes, the car, his car seat-or anything like unto either, the nose snarfer, "monster hiccups", naps in places besides mom's lap.

What a cute little boy!!! Brandon he looks like he could have a pretty good future near the greens... We need to catch up some time, I don't think Calvin is old enough to replace me as the work out/golf partner just yet....
Love it girl! That little Calvin is the cutest guy! Can't wait to see him again!
He's so cute Angie!! It's amazing how soon those little personalities emerge and it's so much fun to see them explore new things and decide what they like/dislike. How fun!!
ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh Cal is a cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttie! Gosh, I shouldn't be surprised...and I'm not really, but he is so dang cute. I love the post about how his personality is coming out so strong. Boy do I wish I still lived up north! Hopefully around October I'll come for a visit. =) Miss ya!!!
I can't wait to see the handsome little man in person. I hope it's soon! Are you coming up to Greg's fiancee's shower?
