Calvin turned 7 months old today, and he gave us an exciting present. He can now crawl. To be honest it is more of a protocrawl/low crawl given that he keeps his belly on the ground. Earlier in the month Amelia and I were taking bets as to whether or not Calvin would crawl or walk first because he didn't seem to be very interested in moving himself around, so imagine our delight when he started sliding himself around on the hard wood floors. The original motion was all arms, but he is now using his legs to move around a little faster and we wouldn't be shocked if he is crawling with his belly off the ground by the end of the week.
Aside from crawling, Cal is still not sleeping through the night, but generally he only wakes up once a night. He often wakes up in the morning and plays with his toys for a while. He coos a happy song and plays with the "Hungry Friends" book or his first preferred wubi, a longhorn with a pacifier attached.
Cal is an eating machine. Amelia has taken to making his meals, so he gets amazing concoctions like peas with corn, pears and spinach. Amelia commented today that he is our all natural child. He arrived with no epidural (unintentionally), he doesn't get/like formula and he prefers his mom's creations to store bought food. He is our little organic granola/hippie child.
For his birthday we had our usual Sunday breakfast of Rudy's breakfast tacos. We went to home depot and bought some mint to replace the potted plants that did not make it through the hundred degree days in August. Later in the day we went swimming and he spent most of his time in the pool flirting with the life guard. He would grin, slap the water and hit her with his blue lasers. She would smile back and the cycle would start all over.
