Calvin is loving (almost) every minute of his life these days. He lives to be outside and really enjoys our new backyard. He is walking (and trying to run!), using a few words, and pointing to everything. He tries to sing along to his favorite song (La la Lemon). He'd rather be collecting leaves than playing with just about any toy he owns. He mostly eats whatever we do but loves cheese, strawberries, watermelon, and cheerios. Calvin loves the dogs but is especially partial to Blue (he tries to say his name!). I love watching Calvin's curiosity grow day.
As for me, I'm finding that mothering a toddler keeps me much busier than mothering a baby did. We go to the library and the park frequently. Grocery shopping has become something I mostly do without Devin (we did it together 95% of the time until now). We meet up for play dates and have started having visitors (with 4 more lined up before the month is over!). There have been residency events I've been able to accompany Devin on--both with and without Calvin. Additionally, we have found renters for our house in Augusta, so I've been back and forth with our realtor on that.
In short, we are keeping busy but loving our lives very much. We count ourselves very lucky to have ended up living in Kannapolis, NC. We're one month in out of many, many more to come!
