Cal's Signs

Cal uses sign language every day to communicate the basics such as More, Milk, Bath, Thank you, Please, Eat, All Done, and Night Night. We're working on him saying words with the signs now....Here's a Sunday morning tutorial session we hosted before pancakes.

11 lbs of Love

Cal was weighed again today and came in at a whopping 11 lbs -- up .5 lbs from last week! He's getting so big...outgrowing his newborn clothes. He's starting to smile, goo, and control his limbs more. Last week he met his new friend, Britta Carlson. They liked each other. Check out their "gangsta" hands/poses!
