11-22-11 Palindrome

Tuesdays date was a palindrome, it is the same written forwards or backwards. It was also the day Calvin turned 3 months and Michael and I had our 3 year anniversary!
It was a great day, and extra nice that Michael could be out of school. We spent the day together as a family. Michael and I had celebrated by going on a date the Saturday before. Thanks to our friends the Lamberts who watched Alden while we went out.
Another random but fun fact is that Calvin's birth day 08-22-11 makes the day we were married when you write it backwards 11-22-08. :)

Almost 3 months

We haven't had anything big lately to write about (which has been nice, things have been fairly laid back.) but I was just realizing that Calvin will be three months on Tuesday! So this is the update on him and on Alden. (Alden is almost 27 months=2yrs and 3 months :)

Calvin is growing up so fast and is such a joy to have around. He gives us lots of smiles which we love. We still need to catch one on camera... they are some of the cutest smiles in my opinion. He still is a good little baby boy, sleeping and eating well. He has slept through the night a few times and usually doesn't wake up too many times in the night which is nice.

Alden is also learning and growing quickly. He loves to help and really is a big help around the house. He helps me cook, clean, do laundry, and especially loves to help with Calvin. When Calvin gets fussy I will sometimes have him give him his pacifier if I can't get to him at the time. When Alden gets the pacifier to stay in Calvin's mouth, he will get excited and often says, " I got it" as he jumps up.

We have been trying to limit Alden's time on the computer, because he would be on it all day if we let him, so we have been reading a lot more books.
He loves it, when people come over he will start handing them books to see if he can get them to read to him. He knows his ABC's even though every now and again he will get some of them mixed up when we ask.. such as W and M or R and K. He also loves counting things but will stumble around 4 and 5 because his four sounds like five so then he will usually skip 5 and go on to 6.
