So excited for them to be best friends!

When I put Tristen on Kalvin's tummy Kalvin laughed and laughed. He thought it was so funny!

Kalvin is the best big brother! He really loves little Tristen. Whenever Tristen’s upset, he’ll run and try to "fix" the cry: give him the pacifire, kiss his nose, and very often he’s nice enough to give Tristen his cherished “blankie”. I can hardly wait to see them grow up being best buds! I’m sure they’ll have their moments (especially when Tristen is old enough to fight back), but for now I’m enjoying their sweet love.

Kalvin keeps very busy! Here he is eating Daddy's yummy pancakes and soaking his burned finger. As Duane says, "Another day, another burn." Poor kid... he's just so curious about things and it's hard to keep him away.


Silence is never a good thing when it comes to Kalvin. When he's playing its sounds of jumping and laughing, but silence=trouble.

Here, he's taken 1/2 a stick of butter and spread it over the piece of bread he left over night while I was in the other room getting Tristen ready for a bath.

The summer in Albany means humidity, rain, and mosquito's. The rain I love (actually in July alone we received as much rain as AZ does all year!), but the humidity is not ideal, and mosquito's are worst of all (though they mostly come out at sunset). We keep this netting on Tristen's bouncer to keep the mosquito's from eating him (except the first time we used it I found 2 mosquito's inside sucking his blood, but most the time it's great).

He actually really likes the netting. It seems to be comforting, is breathable, can eat it, and he can see through it.
