This weekend while visiting Grandpa for his birthday (Happy birthday Dad!) Calvin decided to master clapping his hands. He is obsessive with it now, and had a hard time going to sleep at nap time. He would almost fall asleep, wake up suddenly to sit up and clap his hands, then have trouble going back to sleep. In the middle of clapping hands with Daddy this afternoon he started waving as well! Both Momma and Daddy received a wave, which was fun times for all.
After all this excitement of catching on to new things, we went into the playroom to play with toys. Daddy went in first. I put Calvin down on his feet, and normally would help him to his bottom so he can crawl around, but instead he took off walking towards Daddy (with me still supporting under his arms). This is Grandma's fault for teaching him yesterday when apparently he is learning everything in a period of two days. I am not ready for a grown up walking baby. He just turned nine months old on Saturday. Happy nine months my little boy - it's been the best months of my life!
