New friends

Cal wants to introduce you to his best friend...."the baby in the mirror".  If we're holding him and we happen to walk into the bathroom or down the hallway towards the mirror, he immediately starts hamming it up and kicking his legs.  That's the signal......"TAKE ME TO SEE THE BABY IN THE MIRROR!"  He even tries to bite the baby, bap him with his flailing arms, and suck on the baby's face.  (Does this mean that I should give the parents of Cal's future friends a disclaimer?  Warning: Cal is very lovable and enjoys playing with your child, but he was raised to believe that bapping a baby's face and slobbering/biting on a child's extremities is a "friendly" behavior.) 

Here's another friend....Sock Monkey!  He's rapidly being dwarfed by the baby who once was his size!  Cal's wearing all 2T clothing now, which is a little long in the sleeves and legs, but fits MUCH better around his burgeoning belly. 

Donnie's taken a shine to Cal lately, especially during meals!  Our little food connoisseur enjoys playing with his food now and gets extremely filthy.  You might be asking yourself why I allow him to put his hands in the bowl in the first place.  Well, I usually let him stick his hands in the bowl for two reasons:

1) It's funny to watch him and it's for my enjoyment.

2)  It's important for him to explore new textures.....but mostly reason #1.

Since Donnie is such a clean freak himself (insert sarcastic laugh), he saunters into the kitchen mid-meal and begins cleaning Cal's hands for him. 

ALL CLEAN.....aside from the dog germs!!!

Ollie's always been a fan of Cal and vice versa, but now she's taken it too far.  You know how some owners and their pets sometimes start to resemble each other?  Well....take a look for yourself.  Look at these pudgy pals!

Here are a few videos of Cal during his new favorite activity....BATHTIME!!
