Calvin month 4 and 5

Well it has been a long time since I last did this and so many things have been going on. Calvin has started going to daycare and I am back at work. He is beginning to adjust not being at home with mommy and has even started smiling at his teachers.
Lots has happened with Calvin since I last blogged.
Calvin has grown a lot. He has jumped from 3-6 months clothes and is now wearing 6-9 months. Here are his stats from his 4 month checkup.
Here are Calvin's Stats

WeightHeightHead Circ
birth7 lbs 6.8 oz19.25in35.5cm
2 mos11lbs 4oz23.25 in39cm
4 mos16lbs 7oz26in42cm


When I took him to the doctors at five months for a cold he weighed 19lb 6oz, can you believe that!
He is laughing all the time now! and smiles at everyone. He is so happy and laid back. He loves to play in his exersaucer and has just begun to squeal with delight (he did this for the very first time today). He loves playing with his toys too. He is really beginning to interact with them.
He is now eating baby food and boy does he love it! I can never tell when he is full because he will just keep eating and eating. He just loves to eat (but I don't think you can tell hehe).
He is starting to teeth and boy is he drooling. I noticed two bumps on his gums at the beginning of this week and felt a little tooth above the gum yesterday (Friday Aug.31) YAY! He has been a little fussy but it hasn't been too bad.
He has also begun sitting. He can't sit up by himself, but if I put him in a sitting position he will stay in it for a while.
Calvin is just a fun little guy. One thing that he loves to do now is watch Barkly and reach out to touch him and Barkly loves to lick him. I think they are going to be great friends when he gets a little older. Barkly is already protective of him. Not in a growl at people if the get near him way, but if Calvin is crying in his bed he goes in there and lays next it. Barkly has also stopped sleeping in our bed at night and now sleeps in the bed in the room next to Calvin's room (we assume to be close to Cal). Barkly always wants to be near Calvin, it is pretty sweet. I wonder if this will hold true when Calvin is running after him pulling his tail and ears? I guess we will just have to see.
