A Few Other January Activities

Despite being sick all month, we did have days where it didn't seem as bad as others.  The weather has also been absolutely beautiful and we had a lot of days that we were able to get out and enjoy it.  So, even though we have been sick all month we have been able to do a few fun things mostly to keep Calin happy and sane so he wasn't stuck inside all the time.

Calin loves baths and all his new bath toys he got for Christmas! These are his wind up sharks. 

Entertaining himself on a sick day inside...

We have been enjoying reading "10 Apples Up On Top" and Calin likes to try putting apples on top.
Actually he watches Robby try while he takes bites out of the apples...

More inside entertainment on another January sick day. 

Visiting Robby at work for lunch on a day we were feeling a little better. 

LOTS of racing cars this month to keep ourselves entertained! 

We met up with Dylan and Alisha at the park on Martin Luther King day to feed the ducks and
play on the playground and have a picnic lunch.  It was a fun morning and a beautiful day! 

Loves playing with his new duplos he got for Christmas! 

Also loves his new blocks and loves to build roads, tunnels,  bridges, and garages for his cars! 

Helping mom and dad clean up the leaves (yes in January).  He was loving helping to smash the leaves down! 

On Preston's birthday on January 1st we told Calin to sing Happy Birthday when we got over to their house.  While there, Calin started singing his own little version of Happy Birthday and just kept singing it over and over throughout the night while he was playing.  It was very cute.  For my brother Erich's birthday I thought I'd try to get him to sing it for Erich and surprisingly he did!  So cute! He also sang it for me on my birthday.  Such an awesome little guy! 

He loves jumping on the trampoline and asks every day to go and jump when Robby gets home.  He has especially been enjoying "Ring Around the Rosie" and occasionally "Swing around with Rosie" (a version from his new Truck Nursery Rhyme book from Grandma Mielke that he got for Christmas that he loves and we read and sing and he reads and sings every day) 

On Friday of Martin Luther King weekend we went down to Mesquite for the car show.  Robby and Calin were in heaven.  It was really nice weather and was a great day to be outside checking out cool cars!
