Our Summer.....so far

School's been out for almost a month and we've had a pretty busy time! I have successfully (almost) completed Callen's baby book up to this point. I still need to write a few items in there and Kristian is supposed to fill in the labor and delivery story since it was rather exciting and he (hopefully) has a slightly better recollection of that than me! I have completed the creation of birth announcements (5 months later) so I can mark that off my list (finally!). But for the other things I have on my list from April, we haven't gotten very far. At least I still have all of July and a wee bit of August before school starts up again. Am I being a little too positive with thinking I can do all that? I'm thinking yes, but I'll try to remain positive about it.

On top of those things we have also bought a house and the great move begins tomorrow. Once we get moved in I will get some pictures and post them for those that don't live close enough to pop by for a visit (don't get too excited, we know I won't get it done anytime over the next 3 months!). I'm thinking the move may be harder on my parents than us since they will not get to see Callen every day. I'm hoping my mother survives. She will probably be coming to see us a lot since I expect there to be grandson withdraws.

Callen is also sitting up by himself and loving it:

He has decided that this makes play time much more fun. But when attention is needed he knows a good flop over and scream will get the job done.

Eating has also become a favorite thing to do:

We have yet to find a food that he doesn't enjoy and the list of foods he's had is getting quite lengthy! He can also pack the food away. We think he hides food in his cheeks like a chipmunk, there is no way his tummy can hold all that eats. By the time he's a year old he's going to need his own pot roast! I better start saving for groceries. We'll be broke once he's a teenager at this rate.

Scooting and crawling are still a little ways off but he does have tummy time down (for short periods):

Tummy time is far from a favorite activity, we call it a work in progress.

That's about the gist of our summer so far. The move will keep us busy and by the time I post again we'll have house pictures, maybe crawling pictures, first plane ride pictures, and more!
