I couldn't have asked for a better little brother for Olivia. Ever since he was born, Calvin has been quite, happy, patient and mild. He is a great balance to Olivia's feisty independence. They are still learning how to play nicely with each other, but you can always tell how much they love each other.
At one year old, Calvin is 22 pounds (53 percentile) and 30.3 inches tall (64 percentile). And yes, his head is still in the 90th percentile. Big head, big brains, that what we always say. :)
Here are some of my favorite things about Calvin:
When he gets excited or thinks that you're chasing him he will crawl to you, roll on his back and then wait to be tickled or picked up. He looks at you with such giddy anticipation that you just can't help but comply.
He is a BIG nuzzler, and I love it! He just lays his head on your chest and sits there for a few minutes, long enough to soak it all in.
He learned early how to throw a tantrum and is definitely playing the younger sibling card. When Liv takes his toy or does something he doesn't like, boy does he let us know! I am just now learning that all of his cries aren't justified. Sorry Liv.
He can say dada, mama and nana (banana) as well as multiple grunts and screams.
He loves all plugs and will pull out your computer plug so fast you won't realize it until you run out of battery. (Our computers are dinosaurs so that happens fast.)
He has four teeth and is getting a little more hair. I finally cut the mullet that was starting at the back of his head and can I just say, he looks good!
He gets hangry, just like his mama. Don't mess with him when he's hungry. Just get food fast!
Speaking of food, he is a bottomless pit. He is a great eater and will usually down anything you give him.
Although he is definitely getting more opinionated with age, he is still generally our quite, happy, adorable baby boy!
