Calvin's first outing included a visit to Grammy Great, Eric's maternal grandmother. Cal and I teamed up with Grammy (Anderson) and met her for lunch. Along with being a special person in her own right, Vera was also Elom's wife. She was pleased to meet her first great grandson, named for her late husband.
Calvin is so adaptable. We have initiated a routine around bed time to provide some stability in his life, but he doesn't seem to mind if we switch things up a little. For example, while staying at Grandma & Grandpa (Caldwell's) house, we bathed him in the kitchen sink instead of in his blue tub. He loved it. And he couldn't take his eyes off of Aunt Jenifer, who lent a helping hand.
We were lucky enough to have a visit from Cherith's brother, Uncle Chris, the day after Calvin was born. However, because they live in Salt Lake City, Aunt Jenifer and Cousin Chloe had to wait a month to meet little Cal. The visit was well worth the wait. 
We had so much fun together, and Chloe ... well, she loves her cousin already. She crawled right over to him with a big hug all prepared.
From his first moments of life, Calvin has had many people excited to meet him. Grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and close friends have come from far and wide to see our little guy. And while they are each precious to us, we were thrilled when my best friend, Julie, brought her son to town before Cal was even one month old.
Calvin hated the first bath that his dad and I gave him. We straddled his blue tub across our kitchen sink and went at it, our little one screaming the whole time. Disheartened, we skipped bath time the next day.
