Happy 28 months! ...the Canadian way. I think.

Somehow parents at the park with their kids have this unwritten rule: Chatting about each others kids is totally normal. I'm a new Mom, so I'm still getting used to parents/random strangers striking up conversations.

Today we were playing on the playground, feeding the ducks, and watching the golfers putt when a Canadian dad asked me, "So, how many months is your son?" Um....Months?! I haven't kept track. I literally had to use my fingers to help me get to the answer. Is that a Canadian thing to do? To keep track of toddler months, ay?

Anyway, Happy 28 months, Calvin! We celebrated by feeding the GIANT fish in the lake (because the ducks were already full) and running around the playground in circles (up the stairs-->down the slide-->up the stairs-->down the slide). You loved it.

Baby Cal is not so baby anymore.

Calvin figured out how to climb OUT of his crib and then how to climb back IN his crib. I'm not sure how he climbed back in...Jake thinks we have little gremlins in his room to help him out. It's a theory. But overall, we're impressed!

Today, Jake decided to take the wall on Calvin's crib down and see how he does with his afternoon nap. When we peaked in on him, this is what we found! 

Calvin is growing up! This is a bitter-sweet moment for me. A part of me feels excited that he's progressing well while another part of me feels tears coming on because he's not a baby anymore. 

Where did the time go?
