13 months - A Montage

13 months has been big for Cal in so many ways. Our big guy is changing rapidly and his knowledge of the world around him is exploding. It may be more reasonable for me to write a monthly blog instead of a weekly blog at this point, because we are always on the go. Every so often I will do a more frequent update if something super exciting happens, but for now I've decided to create a list of my favorite Cal things to share with you.

Sometimes we get to meet up with friends at the playground, but Cal isn't so sure how he feels about hugs.

He loves his slides.
