Little Bear

It was as I suspected. Callum's bear outfit that I knit him ended up fitting him during the spring. I've found that the sizes of baby clothes, and baby knit patterns are somewhat unpredictable. Most of the clothes that Callum wears now are at least a 6 month size, and he's only 3.5 months old. When he was born he was too little for even the newborn size. So, he's grown into and out of clothes very quickly. Even though it's 80 degrees outside I had to put Callum in this outfit for a few pictures. Maybe he'll have a little brother or sister some day who will fit in the outfit during fall or winter.









Usually Callum seems to hate the camera and will cry as soon as we "hide" behind it. I think he's learning that it's not so bad.

Work and Play

Lately Callum's been fixated with putting his fingers (or fist) into his mouth and sucking and slurping. He's also been grabbing and holding things more. So I thought he might actually hold on to some toys now, so I gave him a teething ring to try out.



He seems to think that it could be fun, if only he can figure out how to get it into his mouth!



Almost in the mouth! Licking it at least.



Ok, so he hasn't quite gotten a hang of holding on to toys yet for a longer period of time.



"Look Ma, no hands!"



Sometimes Callum likes to help out with laundry or dishes by sitting happily in his chair while I work.



But after a while he gets tired of watching me work.



Or he finds his fingers for some tasty sucking.

"Ah'GuBaa"

It's amazing just how fast Callum is growing and developing. He loves to "talk" now. He is practicing all kinds of sounds, nasals being his current favorite.



Play time with Dad before bed!
