Friends

On Tuesday, lots of friends came over: Lisa with Hannah and Matthew; Sarah with Atticus;

Jess with Sammy. I tried getting pictures of the toddlers, but they don't stay still long enough. Here is a pic of Ike and Matthew. Matthew is 9 weeks older than Isaac. They are both big boys (Matt is LOOOOONG! and Ike is a football player). Isaac has a 4 month apt on Monday, so I'll let you know what a fatty he is at that time.

Nikki

Nikki Schmidt visited us last weekend and we had a relaxing, fun time. Cal loved her and keeps talking about her. Nikki and I even got lots of girl time (thanks, Eric!). We went shopping on Saturday and went to an Irish bar with a band that night. I was wiped out after she left. No nap and staying up late!

I feel like an awful friend for not taking any picture. So sorry, Nikki! Did you get any?

Potty Time

This week, Cal has gone pee on the toilet twice! He is so excited when he's done and does a little dance. He has told everyone about it and loves that he gets a treat afterward. Yeah, Cal!

Snow, Snow and More Snow

Yes, I realize this snowman is a little weak. But it's the first one Cal has ever been a part of, so I don't think he really noticed. This snowman actually was the cause of a Battle of the Wills between Cal and me. Since I don't have coal, and pepperoni wouldn't stick, we used Peanut M&Ms for the eyes and mouth. Cal wanted to eat them all even after I gave him some. I won the battle. (Don't mess with me, Cal! I will always win!)

We have gotten over 15 inches of snow since last weekend. I'm not sure about the total (anyone else know?), but it's a lot. It's been so fun!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa Steve!

Even though my sucky parents didn't have us say Happy Birthday to Grandpa Steve yesterday, we wanted to. We love you, Grandpa!

More of Cal's Crazies

Last week, Cal was in the bathtub. I said, "Let's brush your teeth, Cal." He said, "I brush my teeth with my pee pee." He bent over a little and moved his penis back and forth making the teeth brushing sound. (Yes, I realize this is slightly inappropriate to post.)

Yesterday, Atticus came over and I was making him hit me in the face. I said, "You're a boxer!" Cal said, "I'm a roboxer." He was thinking of "robot."

On Sunday, I gave the boys a bath. Cal looked down and said, "Isaac has a little pee pee. Cal has a bigger pee pee."

Cal wanted his Aveno Oatmeal Lotion so he asked me for his "food lotion." It took me a while to get what he meant.

Cal and Eric

This is the best I could do...

New Feets (Is that how you spell it?)

Isaac rolled his head all the way back to see the TV! He's definitely a Miller.

Calvin can wink! The picture didn't turn out so great because he kept closing his other eye when the flash went off. He loves to do it, but forgets the name of it. So he says, "I close one eye and open one eye."

This drunken Cal looks exactly like the pictures of Eric when he was young.

Play-dough

Cal and I made homemade play-dough. It didn't turn out so great, but Cal didn't seem to mind. Flour somehow ended up all over his head.

Cal said, "Look, mom! An "A!"

Cal said, "Look! An upside-down "V!"

Cal said, "I'm Santa Clause! Hohoho."

Handsome boy with lots of drool.

Cal was helping me cook. He picked out his own chicken pants, found a bib and wrapped it around his head. Nice.

I said, "Cal, I need to put some lotion on your cheeks because they look dry. Cal said, "They look Aaaawwweeesssoommmeee."

More of Cal

Cal and I were playing in his room. I started doing sit-ups on his bed (not a common thing) and he gave me his silky, turned off the light (pretending) and left, shutting the door behind him. He said, "Mommy, go to sleep. Goodnight."

****************************************************

We were eating oatmeal for breakfast. Cal kept putting huge bites on his spoon and saying, "That's a little bite" and then laughing. He did this a bunch of times. Then he had nothing on his spoon and said, "This is a big bite." I said, "Noooo, that's just a spoon." And he said, "The dish ran away with the spoon."

******************************************************

Cal got a little nerf football from the Millers for V-day. He said, "This is fire. It's hot, mommy. Don't touch it."

Cal the Shape Genius

*Cal told his Sunday school teacher "That door is a big rectangle!"

*I gave Cal a half of a cookie and he said, "This is a semi-circle."

*He put four balls together on the floor and said, "Look! A diamond!"

Surprise for Aunt Becky

Cal woke up really poopy. It was so so stinky. He ran to find Aunt Becky who was still in bed, jumped up on her bed and yelled, "I'm poopy!" Then he did a body slam onto her head.

Matthew 6:24

Cal can say this verse all by himself. "No one can serve two masters."

Superbowl and Valentine cookies

Superbowl Sunday... Oh, well.

Our friend, Colin (whol loves babies) and Ike

Colin, Hannah, Lisa and Matt

Hannah, Sammy and Cal eating lunch.

Sammy and Cal

Some of these pictures are blurry... I'm not sure why. Stupid camera.

The kids and moms came over to decorate cookies today. It was great. Cal decorated a ton and wanted to eat them all. He was out of control. He didn't want to stop and started crying when I said we were done. He couldn't get enough of the icing.

General Mills Pride

*Cal said to me today, as he picked up a small piece of broccoli, "This is the little tiniest broccoli ever."


****************************************
*I was wearing my purple, plaid pajama pants and Cal said, "Those are cool purple pants, mommy."


***********************************************
*He likes to corrolate phrases with people. Today I asked, "Who says, 'Do I?!'" And he said, "Dom." I asked, "Who says, 'Hiya!'?'" He said, "Jess." Then I asked, "Who says, 'Sure, why not!?'" (The correct answer is Grandma Barb.) He responded, "Semi-circle."

*******************************************************
*Cal said that it was "A little bit cold today." I had to tell him that it was a lot cold today.

The Brothas

Big Boy Bed

Cal is in a big bed now! He's done awesome two nights in a row. Naptime was a little crazy, but it usually is lately. I heard him running around so I went in there. He had moved all of his pillows, extra blankets and a couple books that were lying around to one corner (we were smart enough to put all his toys away). What a crazy kid.

He loves it. We got animal sheets (that our friend Jess found).

The Millers

This is the picture that's going in the church directory. I'm pretty excited about it.
(It's a picture of a picture. That's why it's so blurry. We don't have a scanner.)

Weirdo Ike

I just let Ike scream in his bed for 25 min. straight. I finally went up, rocked him, sang to him and put him in his carseat. I haven't heard a peep out of him since...

Happy Birthday, Grandma Sally! From the whole gang.
