8 months really....

My sweet guys!
his large "noggin" that doesn't fit in this hooded towel

The balloons that provided days of entertainment!



June 2nd you know what that means.... Yep, time for Callan's 8th month post! In true Letterman fashion here are my TOP TEN favorite things about Cal.
10. he is sitting up great now especially if you put toys or food in front of him. He also has two bottom teeth.

9. Did I mention food. He will eat anything no questions asked. The other day he sucked on a pickle very contently for quite awhile without even making a face.

8.When ever he wakes up, he arches his back or will crane his neck looking for his brothers.

7. "Zoom zoom zoom we're going to the moon" (California friends will all know this one courtesy of play group) is his favorite activity, it will calm him no matter what the problem is.

6. His eyes are still his most prominent and gorgeous feature. "Those eyes would be big on a cow" is constantly being joked about at our house.

5. The only sounds that resemble words are "dada dadadada" I am ok that its not "mama mamamama" I know that in the end its me he really wants.

4. The big belly laughs that easily roll out of this boy are priceless.

3. The fact that whenever he sees Kinga (the dog) he starts to scrunch up his nose and squint his eyes in the anticipation of her kisses.

2. He has just discovered the joys of Baby Einstein. Now whenever you walk by the TV he follows it very closely just in case its his show on.

1. Knowing that when I was gone the other night and Cam turned on home movies for the boys to watch, he would cry every time he saw me or heard my voice on the TV....

I am so in love with this little man!

Reverent? What this guy?


We officially need to document that Mackguire got the "Caught Being Reverent" badge at church. I now have a calling in Primary and watch him week after week trying and sometimes NOT trying so hard to recieve one. This particular week he sat the entire time with his arms folded and his lips zipped. I just sat there in total amazement watching this rare moment take place before me. I just prayed that his teachers would recognize this miracle and reward him for it. Sure enough he came back for closing exercises with one around his neck. YIPEE!!

He insisted when we got home that I take a picture. I am pretty sure he knew this may not happen again so we better document it now!
