Callum and Molly had to duke it out to see who got to play in the big box...

Callum loves to pull up on things and cruise along them. Even better if there's an unsuspecting toy around he can use as a step-stool so he can try to scale it...

The trouble is he just. lets. go. And tries to walk away...

In the garden

Grandma pulled out some "vintage" toys for Callum to play with. This wind-up record player is circa 1971...

We have been so busy with Grandma and Grandpa! He went swimming yesterday and today and is definitely a water baby. he loved watching Nathan swimming around, and later playing soccer. Like everything, Callum's convinced that I'm holding him back and if I'd just let go he could join in the fun

Callum and Grandpa in the rocking chair - they rocked for about 15 mintues, humming a little tune together. Cal was really relaxed.

Here he is in the baby-sized rocking chair that used to be Gillian's, then mine, then Nathan's.

Dancing! Grandpa was singing and dancing around the living room and Callum joined in. It was too funny.

Happy Halloween!

Charity bought Callum his Halloween costume last year when we visited her...it's super cute!

We had him sitting on the grass to take pictures and he ate a lot of dirt. Mummy had to pick off all the leaves and dirt for wearing the costume again tonight

Here's Callum enjoying one of his books

Callum's been very busy this week, working at staying up on his hands and knees and crawling under everything he can

Of course the weekend flew by, even though Adam had two days off. The weather cleared up yesterday so we all went for a nice walk and ended up at the pond again, to watch the ducks. There's still colourful leaves on the trees, which is surprising given the amount of rain and high winds we've had lately...like the high winds that blew a branch onto my truck and put a $400 dent into it...

Some of the drakes were fighting and making a lot of quack quacking sounds - Callum thought it was hilarious
