God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind that I will never die....

This quote stood out to me especially since I got my new calling.  Oh you haven't heard?  I am the new Relief Society President in my ward.  I know what you're thinking.  Yikes!!! right?  I am pretty sure there should be an age requirement for this calling, and I should always be below it because of my maturity level.  Oh well.  This quote is from Calvin and Hobbes, one of the best comic strips ever and my husband's personal favorite. The cartoon Calvin reminds me of Josh a lot actually. Because he is obviously really intelligent-but he likes to be immature, cause mischief, play rough and do things that adults don't normally do. Sound familiar to anyone who knows my husband? Anyway, my sister Charlotte had her baby eight days before Berlin was born, and she named him Calvin. He is a cute little BIG chunk. He's super mellow and always happy unless he's hungry. Here are the cousins together in June.  Auntie Audra is holding them-I cut her head off because I am a way good photographer.

Anyways. these photos below illustrate the personality differences between Calvin and Berlin.  Basically, Calvin is mellow and happy and Berlin has multiple personalities.  Okay, not really, but sometimes it seems that way.  Berlin will provide the captions.  But first, a little synopsis of the photo shoot. Calvin has just woken up from his nap.  I thought it would be fun to take some pictures of Berlin and Calvin side by side.  These pictures are all taken within about a minute, and Berlin's face is never the same.
Picture #1-My mom laid me in my play pen and there's someone else already in it!  WAH!
Picture # 2-Ooh, a fan!
Picture # 3- I like fans.
Picture # 4-My mom is making funny faces at me so I will make one back.  Do you think this new guy is a little freaked out by this?
Picture # 5-Hey new guy?  Do you see me?  I can see you if I look like this!
Picture # 6-Mom, I am trying to smile good, I promise!  You are just taking the picture at the wrong time.
Picture # 7-Hmm, I like this soft blanket the other kid has.
Picture # 8-There's my mom again trying to make silly faces so we will smile.  
Picture # 9-Mom!  Get me out of here!  I don't want to do this anymore!

I laughed histerically during this post. Mostly because that is totally how these babies are. Calvin's face didn't change once. Although that might have been because he was still waking up. I also love the quote from Calvin and Hobbes. We should be neighbors. Okay bye.

me and you plus two said...

Thank you. My day is better now. Love those babies!
