Since Cal is a big boy now, he needed a car seat upgrade. He is still rear-facing but he now has a throne of a seat that even has a cup holder where I hide crackers for him sometimes. He likes that. His buddy Lexie, sitting next to him, also upgraded, and here they are going for a ride together.
Lately Cal has been very interested in pushing this wooden walker around. I thought it might be fun for him to walk on our little pathway out front, but he had other ideas. He decided he wanted to go on the sidewalk, and then continue on walking all the way around the loop through the back alleyway and everything! He smelled flowers, barked at dogs that were barking at him, banged on metal poles, hugged trees, and noticed just about every fun thing along the way. This walk is one of my favorite memories I have with Cal. Just seeing him discover everything as if it were the first time he had ever seen anything like it. So many small details that I normally would walk past thinking that they were uninteresting, Cal sees as beautiful. Oh how wonderful the world can be when you stop and take notice of everything around you.
We found a fun Caribbean festival downtown to go to at Penn's Landing over the weekend and they had men playing steel drums and reggae music playing while we were there. Cal bebopped along to the beat and Matt and I ate jerk chicken and beans with rice. So yummy.
We harvested our cucumbers this week, 6 in all! Just enough to make 5 jars of refrigerator pickles! Cal helped supervise.
Cal's latest trick is playing dead. Sometimes I think he's part dog.
