August

We've officially survived the first days back to school here in the Green house. It's been a bit of an adjustment, as always, but so far things have been going well. And on the plus side, I've almost made it to my first three-day weekend already!
With the start of school, we haven't really had time to do anything too exciting lately. Right now we're just trying to keep up with kiddo. He's definitely getting into everything and exploring everything he can around the house. His favorite method of moving is the army crawl, which he's been doing well for the last few weeks.
Here's Callum's ten month picture with Hey Hey. He does normally have clothes on, even though this is month two of taking the pictures without clothes. We just almost forgot the picture and by the time we realized, his outfit was sporting dinner.



Here are some pictures just for his Uncle Andy D. They aren't the best lighting, so we'll work on some more, but at least he has the fun Yellowstone outfit!

Back to School

It's been a fun summer in the Green house, but like most fun things, summer break has officially come to an end. I start back to work tomorrow, and the kids come Wednesday. It's been a fun summer and a blast to get to stay home with Callum. I'm definitely not looking forward to returning to the days of a 5 a.m. alarm.
Callum's preparing for school, too by catching up on some summer reading.
I'm also proud of the way he's been working hard on his words and learning what school is like from Brother and Sister Bear (and he's so smart he can even read upside down!). Too bad he doesn't realize that he's not going to school with Mommy.


Overall we haven't done anything special the last month or so. We just returned from a weekend visiting family in Louisville, and otherwise we've been relaxing and doing little things around the house.
Here's Callum's official 9 month pictures with Hey Hey, just a bit late on the posting :). They were taken on his nine-month birthday though! His check-up went well, too. He's 18 pounds and 27 1/2 inches long and everything else looked great according to the doctor.

We've also realized how uneventful Callum is when trying new things. We started giving him a sippy cup and he instantly picked it up without a problem. So much for the funny moments of watching him figure out what to do with it!
Bath time is still one of his favorite activities.
He's not much of a cuddler, but he does give great hugs!

And just because we think he's the cutest thing still (and we're totally not biased at all!), here are some good shots of him from the past few days.
