Calvin's stats

Calvin and I went to the doctor the other day for his six month check-up. He weighs 9.2 kilos which is about 20 lbs! He is a big boy but we are thankful for his good health and happy personality. Pictured to the left is Calvin in his car seat facing frontwards for the first time. Calvin often looks dumbfounded and makes us laugh...he is just taking everything in around him and his face is full of wonder at it all!
This is one of his new tricks. He likes to hold his legs with his hands and coo. I, of course, had to get a picture of this. The Thais always say Calvin has "arom dii" which means a good personality...I agree!

Since Calvin turned six months old, I thought it was about time to start feeding him solids. We gave him oat cereal for the first time this past Thursday morning. Pictured here is PJ participating in this milestone day for Calvin. Calvin did not want us to hold the spoon...he's all ready to feed himself! He really enjoys the cereal. I ended up making it homemade. It was very easy. I added wheat germ to some ground up oats, cooked it like oatmeal and mixed it with milk and voila! So far, I have not noticed any reactions or problems with Calvin to the oats, for which I am thankful for.
Calvin has also started sitting up but only for a second or two! Here he is sitting all on his own.
When on his belly, Calvin creeps all over the place and has started showing frustration when he can't reach a toy!
