Such a big boy!

Call me sentimental, I don't care.  Cal is growing up and is looking more and more like a big boy now, and not a baby.  And it makes my heart hurt a little bit.  I love watching him grow and learn new things.  He just is growing up SO FAST it's scary!

He was given some 2T jammies and I remember looking at them thinking, "these are HUGE!  He won't be in the for a looooong time."  Well, guess what?  He's in them.  They are a little big, but he can wear them just fine.  18 month jammies fit much better, but he can wear the 2Ts and 24 month ones also. 

His littler personality is coming out more and more too, which I just love to witness.  He was carrying around an old calculator today (his new favorite toy!) and talking into it like it was his very own iPhone!  He would hold it like a phone, then push some buttons, and then say, "yeah yeah yeah..."!!!!!  I about died! 

I grabbed my camera to get some quick shots of my little BOY:

 And because push toys are SO much more fun if you carry them... :
 Who me?  (this is the one that really tugs at my heart for some reason....)

He has been running laps through our downstairs while "chatting" with himself while he ran.  I scooped him up to hug him and his little heart was pounding so hard! I think that was quite the workout!  When I asked him if he was ready to go night night, he walked over the the stairs and said: "Night-night, Momma."  I mean- how can that not melt your heart??  We've come a LONNNNNG way from our previous sleep battles....


And finally, we have decided to hire a Realtor to help sell our house.  We did a for sale by owner service for a while and had quite a bit of showings, but it's time to get serious.  I am starting to have some nesting urges (a little early, I know), but there is no where to nest this little baby!  The team we hired are notorious in our area for being "ball busters" and SUPER hard workers.  They have a bunch of connections with doctors at Duke who then have connections with the residents who will be coming in at the end of February/beginning of March.  The Realtors are coming over tomorrow to look at our house and give us a list of tasks to complete.  I don't know why, but I am SO excited about tackling this list!  I wish they were coming today so I could start! Yesterday we had an "ice storm" and I use that term lightly, but the roads were pretty bad, so Eddie stayed home with us.  I took advantage and got a LOT done around the house.  My closet is completely empty of everything but maternity clothes.  Amazing how much bigger it looks!  I took 8 bags to Goodwill this morning. Closets are cleaned out, baby toys that are no longer played with are put away....we just have so much STUFF! 

I'll keep you posted on the hopeful selling of our house.  Oh yeah....and we have not even started to look at where to move...not a clue!  The place where we wanted to build has increased prices (a lot) and we think it's out of our range now...BOOOOO!  Sometimes it is really hard being married to a practical person.  ;)
