Sorry it's taken so long to update--this month has been CRAZY.
Calvin was born November 3rd at 6:20 pm in the American Fork Hospital. He weighed 9 pounds and 1 ounce, and was 20.5 inches long. He was born with a full head of dark hair (with reddish highlights!) that has only gotten thicker and redder as time has gone on.
Fun things about Cal:
-He likes car rides and being bounced in his carrier seat.
-He likes Daddy to make loud, weird, and obnoxious noises, including reinactments of the Vietnam war, emergency sirens, foghorns, indian war chants, and Daddy's impression of Calvin screaming
-He's ticklish, especially on his feet
-He likes Momma and Daddy to pretend to eat him (nomnomnom)
-He hates baths, getting dressed, having his diaper changed, and when his pacifier falls out (he's getting better at holding it in, though!)
-He likes to keep his hands up by his face as much as possible
-He makes some great expressions (pirate, mobster/fahget-about-it, zombie, overdose)
-He calms down for his grandmas WAY faster and easier than he does for his mom and dad, which his parents agree is completely unfair
-People in stores think he's a girl because of his lovely locks
In other news , we have put up our Christmas tree and bought Calvin a little stocking and an ornament, both of which say Baby's First Christmas.
And now, since I know you've been waiting for them, the pictures!
In the hospital, right after delivery.
Still in the hospital, back in our room.
This is his overdose face, and it means he'll be out like a light for the next couple hours.
Hangin' out with Dad
When it's dark and his big, dark eyes are open all the way, he looks like an alien. This effect is slowly fading, however, as his cheeks get rounder and his skin doesn't look so loose.
In his Halloween costume, only a few days late.
