Sumter County Fair

Calvin has had his fair share of outings for being such a little guy.  He's been to several restaurants, grocery shopping, out to Swan Lake, to church, and just this weekend we took him to the fair!  Yup, it's fair season again!  Talk about sensory overload for the little babe!  There were so many sounds, sites, and smells to take in but he handled it like a champ. 

Paul and I had a good time as well!  This time around we bought deep-fried Oreos and deep-fried Rice Krispie Treats.  I wasn't a fan of the Oreo but I looooooved the Rice Krispie Treat.  I think it was even better than the deep-fried Reeses that we tried last year at the State Fair.

We thoroughly enjoyed walking the midway, perusing the exhibits, and seeing all of the animals.  Calvin is always really good when we take him out but I think he especially liked the fair.


And for those craving more news about the little guy . . . He really likes being swaddled and rocked.  He also loves being outside.  At his appointment last week he weighed 10 lbs 14 oz, and I'm sure he's gained a ton since then.  He likes his bath only every other time and he's losing some of his hair.  He also tricks us into thinking he's responding to or smiling at us when in reality he's just filling his pants.  We love being his parents though and feel lucky that he's fitting into our lives so nicely!

20 days

Calvin will be 3 weeks old tomorrow.  It is hard to believe that 3 weeks have gone by since he was born and it has sure been an interesting 3 weeks so far!  My mom and dad were here, then Paul's mom was here, and we've had numerous visitors and several outings already.  Paul's been back to work so I've had 3 days alone with Calvin and I have a feeling we are going to get along just fine. 

I took this video of Calvin yesterday right after we had some tummy time.  He is so darn cute and tiny I can't believe it. 

 

 And for your amusement here's a picture of him going crazy for his fist:

We love him so much!
