Craziness and Cal

(my family with my sister-in-law's parents after the baptism)

Sunday was a beautiful day that was action-packed!

My dear friend, Julie, was having a shower in Raleigh at 1:00. At 3:00, my mom and my sister-in-law's mom threw a "Sip 'n See" in honor of their new Granddaughter, Catherine. So far, no problems! My sister-in-law wanted to kill two birds with one stone and figured that since her parents were going to be in town, they should go ahead and baptize Catherine.

Talk about a filled day! We went to church at 10:30. It didn't start until 11:15, but we were going to put Cal in the nursery and wanted to give him some time to get used to it. Plus, we were honored to be asked to be Godparents and I was not about to be late for that!!!! The service was a....lengthy one...we didn't get into our car to leave until 1:00.

If you are following along, my friend's shower was starting at 1:00....in RALEIGH (30 mins away)! Oh, and I had to go home, change clothes, feed Cal, etc, etc....

I made it to the shower and had a great time. I can't wait to meet Julie's little guy: Fenton! Cal is going to love having another little boy around!

After the shower, I hauled it back to Chapel Hill for the Sip 'n See! I made it there at 4:00-- phew!

Eddie called me after the shower and said "You aren't going to believe what your son just did..." We are on high crawl watch over here so I was sure that he was crawling (and that I had missed it!), but instead.... Cal was in his crib (Eddie was watching on the video monitor), and sat himself up-- first time he got himself seated, then proceeded to PULL HIMSELF UP. Once he was standing, he let go and toppled over into the crib. This is his new favorite trick. Needless to say- the crib was lowered last night!(here's Cal's big ol' head in the video monitor. He's supposed to be napping here, but it is so much more fun to scream when sitting up then laying down)

Saturday fun!

We had SUCH a busy weekend. Sunday was incredibly crazy, and Saturday was perfect :). I had an appointment with my friend Saturday morning, so I left when Cal was down for his morning nap. While I was gone, I got a few text message pictures from Eddie of what Cal was up to. He woke up and Eddie got him all dressed (shirt says "Dirt Makes Me Cuter") and they went outside to wash Eddie's car and power wash the house. Eddie dragged the walker outside and put Cal in it in the grass. He loved it! I think he actually liked watching his Dada, but regardless, he was a happy camper!

When I came home, I brought him inside to feed him lunch and play a little. He has a toy that rotates around so that when he was little he could lay on his back and play with it, but it grows with him. Now he can sit in front of it and push the buttons, etc... but it is MUCH more fun to PULL UP and play with it instead! I couldn't believe it! I mainly played on his knees, but he did manage to get to his feet with me right behind him to help him..... who is this kid??

He wasn't really into an afternoon nap so we took a drive and he crashed! The pictures above pretty much summarize the day. I loved every minute of being together!
