Randomness

Since we are officially one year old - I won't be posting updates every month but I will be trying to update when new things happen (especially since this is her baby book). She continues to amaze Preston and I - she is now in the toddler room which was a bit of a rough transition. We just have to keep telling ourselves that, by a long shot, she is the youngest one in there and we have to remember how frustrating that can be for her. This week was the first week that she seemed to be herself in there, we are very hopeful. She can now say bye-bye, more, cat, mom, dad, ball, water, and milk.
Now that I'm back to work, I'm realizing I'm not taking as many pictures as I was this summer but here's some randomness:
She loves corn on the cob and can totally eat it by herself. She has now started eating other foods that way as well including string cheese and nutrigrain bars (from the middle out)

The husky season has started! She looks a bit like a boy wearing her husky jersey but we figure what's one day here or there?
Callie had her first night away from us. Grandma and Grandpa Knowles invited all the kids over for a sleepover. They spent the night doing crafts, picking blackberries (in Callie and Laurel's case, eating blackberries), picking plums, and laughing! She had a blast. She, of course, LOVES her cousin Maya!

Picking plums with Grandpa (I love that they each have their own bowls)

Sharing plums with Laurel - Laurel has a HUGE stash!

Cousins! (I had to post this one, as grandma was able to get Maya to smile for the camera!)

I had warned Grandma that she would need to cut Callie off when picking blackberries and I was right! Every blackberry that went in her bowl went right into her mouth

The next day I met everyone at the fair. Callie had a blast petting and visiting all the animals.

There was this crazy music thing that kids were pounding and banging away on - Callie joined right in!

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day. 

Complete and Total Exhaustion

So, Callie has come down with a case of croup (good ol'daycare) and we had a VERY rough night on Sunday. She was up every 20 mins - hour coughing. Luckily Preston was home and we took turns with her - eventually I ended up sleeping with her in the chair (although she still woke up coughing every hour) because I didn't have to work on Monday. Needless to say, we were not a very exciting family Monday night. We were all in bed by 8 and Callie continued to get up a bit but not nearly as much as the night before. The last time I went in to see her was about 11 - the next thing I knew it was time for me to get up for work. When Preston got up, I made the comment "she slept better than on Sunday" and he just looked at me and laughed. Apparently, she got up a bunch in the middle in the night and I was just too exhausted to realize it. He said I was so out of it that one time I told him it was the rain, not Callie crying.....I'm going to choose my version of the story and...
