...Fool me twice, shame on me!
You may recall Cal's "lime video" from when he was just a wee lad of 7 mos.
At 9 mos, he is older and wiser, right??? We thought we'd put him to the test:
Love ya, Cal!
And one more for good measure:
FINE! Fine, fine, fine....one MORE! I can't help it that he's adorable?!?!

Revenge on the Balloon
All in (two) days' work.
Being the stubborn mama that I am (and, let's be honest, hating the thought that I wasted FOUR WHOLE DOLLARS on a balloon), I kept reintroducing the balloon-from-hell...similar reaction each time, but Cal got more and more confident that he could take this thing down.
This morning, Dave whipped out the real camera (oh how I love our 5D MkII) and shot this quick footage. It makes me never want to take another video with the iPhone, though the iPhone is just so darn convenient!
Get it, Cal!

Latest on Cal (and us..who?)
Cal is now 9 mos!
9 mos means that he crawls all over the place, loves to pull up on things, can say "mama" (and actually mean it towards ME) and is overall a happy little guy.
Well, happy until his mother (apparently) tortures him with a balloon! I thought I was being sooo clever yesterday when I bought a "fancy" $4 balloon at the grocery store...thinking I was buying myself some free time while Cal stares at this fascinating object. In the store, he was full of wonder and amazement (so far, so good). We got to the check-out and he pulled the string, making the balloon come down toward him, and all hell broke loose!!! He was terrified!!! Poor little guy. I, still stubbornly thinking I could count on his 30-second memory to pull through and still turn this thing around, still bought the balloon and put it away until the next day (thinking that after he slept, surely he would be once again enamored).
Hmmm....not so:
Nonetheless, I put the offensive object in our bedroom (for now...until I finally give in that my $4 and genius idea were both a bust) and Cal was back to his happy self:
Dave's birthday is tomorrow (!) and we're heading to Napa for the day to do wine-tasting like the "BC" days ("Before Cal" as my friend Daniel says...Cal is staying home with his babysitter). Looking forward to it!
