Calvin Snacks with Bop-Bop

So Calvin has been very aware of photos and pictures around the house lately, which is pretty fun. The other day, I set him up with a little entourage to provide some company while snacking on some goldfish.

Among other things, I really dig the way he says, "Niiiiiiice."

Calvin and Michaela are in the middle of a trip to Tucson, where Coco and Skipper are very patiently helping us get this "walking" thing down....





Also, there are some photos available for viewing at Snapfish.

Seriously? For a one-year-old?

There is a birthday party in the works. A birthday party! For Calvin! Who is turning one and, as such, will have no memory whatsoever of the festivities. And yet, we march onward, locating a Chicago Park District space, ordering cake, procuring a Wiggleworms teacher to lead a class. It all seems rather ridiculous, on the surface.

And yet... if it will make him as happy as his first Christmas and Hanukkah did, I kind of don't really give a damn if he remembers it or not. (More photos at Snapfish.)
