Growth spurt

Calvin seems to have recently hit a growth spurt. We don't have any exact numbers, but he has recently gained enough height that we need to baby-proof another foot of vertical space in the apartment. He's also gotten good at climbing onto blocks, boxes and low tables. He's less adept at getting down, but here is a successful dismount.










Here are his favorite activities of the moment (with links to videos where available):
1. Dancing. He'll dance to any music or to anything resembling music.
2. Eating. Mandarin oranges are a new favorite and he's fared well on recent restaurant trips.
3. Putting things into other things, taking them out, putting them back in, taking them back out...














4. Talking on the phone (or pretending to).
5. Befriending strangers. He's caught on that when he smiles at people, they'll often smile and wave back. It's very charming.














6. Headbutting. This is a terrible development.
