I went out of town for 4 days and when I came back my little monkey had gone from dragging his little body from room to room to doing a proper crawl.  Belly up  and all 4 limbs moving him across the floor.  Man, does he change fast!

Calvin survived my absence and seems none the worse for wear.  In fact I don't think he missed me at all, but then babies don't have a very good sense of time.  He probably thought a left the room for a minute.  My ego was a bit bruised, but it is more important that he not be in emotional distress.  So all in all I'm happy.  Thanks to Grandma for filling in!

and green food sucks.  Calvin has been eating broccoli and seems to like it as long as it is paired with apples.  But the pea and green bean experience was less to his liking.  I have to say I smelled and tasted it before I gave it to him and it was a rousing thumbs down on both counts.  Despite the mint added as a flavor enhancer, I can only describe it as gross.  But then Calvin doesn't have a very developed palette so who knows, maybe he'd like it.

Nope.  He was hungry enough to be a good sport and give it a try but about halfway through more of it was being spit back out than was going in.  He gets an A for effort and I have decided that the nutritional profile of peas do not warrant either of us suffering through that again.

I'm happy to be back with my little family.  We celebrated with a fun bike ride through downtown Austin and tacos on Saturday and Calvin's first trip to the gym's kid's club on Sunday.  I'm not sure Calvin was impressed with either outing.
