One Month Monkey

Our Baby Cal at one month.
Because we met at the zoo Cal has a zoo themed room. At placement Benji gave this same little huggey monkey(with Velcro hands) to Cassie at the hospital and told her "he can hug you back". We also have one for Steven and Benji has one he sleeps with as well.

Lovely little piggies!

And hes done with the photos :)

Benji and Neighbor friend Anson dressed up as superhero ninjas and road their bikes around our driveway. I LOVE their imaginations!

The girls wanted to join in the bike parade fun too. Summer fun filled days!

Your first holliday

We spent the next 2 days tuckered out


and then for the 4th of July, we packed up for your first road trip to visit some more family.

On your first road trip you met Uncle Casey dads brother, and 3 of his kids Bennet, Maya, and Porter. While we and grammie & Mal stayed at Dad's youngest brothers Uncle Robbie and Aunt Brisa house in Rexburg.





For the 4th of July we took a trip to Rexburgs sights...The Sand Dunes...And Got stuck in the Sand... Thanks Casey for sharing your pictures I kept Cal covered in the car the wind was just too sandy.


Rolled down to sand dunes...

Wiped sand out of every surface of our body's

Bennett



Porter


Stuffed our sandy selves at the BIG JUDS!


Maya and the BIG JUD BURGER!

Sitting in the shade at the Hot Springs...Benji had the great idea to make a fishing pole and hook some fish for after lunch snack.

Aunt Mals fiance Brice came to visit as well.

Upon our arrival home while I was admiring you baby Calvin James in your crib your brother was learning some cool new tricks. Teaching himself how to ride his bike!

Formidable Super Warriors

I loved watching Benji and Nieghboor friend Anson play formidable super worriors together. I just had to get a few shots of them playing.

2 Weeks old-Cal 's first Nature Hike

At two weeks old we were excited to take Cal Outdoors to explore nature together.

We drove up to the Alpine Loop.

Looking for a place to walk Baby Cal in our new Bumbleride stroller, we drove to the Cascade Springs where they have beautiful scenery along this little board walk around the springs. The only problem was the trails were not a long enough hike for Benji.

In one of the pools we counted over 22 trout swimming within our views.

Cal took to nature peacefully and slept the whole way.

I love finding bridges along trails. They are one of my most favorite things to find on a hike.

Cal and I would take Benji to the pool during the summer and watch him swim from the covered picnic shade area. This time we all crashed together on the chair after swimming. Love the Snuggles!

The Binkie decision was a tough one for baby Cal. Some days he would not take one

Other Days he preferred the avent ones Benji had preferred

Then we thought, oh maybe he just love his hands and will be a finger baby...

It wasn't till about a month latter when he finally settled on the hospital kind. Much to our dismay. Those little green silicone binkies called "soothie" can bounce more then tiger himself and you can not attach the cute little ribbon to clip on their shirt...So when they pop out of this mouth they just keep on bouncen.

He likes to have some Serious talks with Nanna

Just another wonderful Day 1 Week old +

Sweet Sleeping Baby! I just want to reach down and kiss those cheeks-
9Days old





AJ Benji's good friend across the street always asks if he can hold Baby Cal. He will be a great Dad some day he loves Babies.




Benji my "Photographer" wanted to take some pics of Mom and Baby





He also inspected Baby Cal during his Tummy Time. 12 Days old




Best Brotherly love!
