Play doh and pizza

It's been a while since my last post....sorry! We have been keeping ourselves very busy since the rush and excitement of the holidays. One of Callie's favorite things is to help cook and we have been getting very creative on ways to do that. She spent a night with grandma and grandpa awhile back and ever since that night away we have had to give up our step stool to her.
We recently travelled to jesslyns house. She was in absolute heaven - dogs, llamas, alpacas, chickens, and play doh. How much better can it get than that?! I didn't get any pictures of her petting the llamas or alpacas but it is a bit frightening to me how fearless she is around animals. She did not hesitate one bit to go pet the alpacas - I was more timid than her!
Here's some shots of her making the play doh:

Mixing....mixing....mixing - one of her favorite things to do

When cooking with Callie, you have to give everything up to her. She will not let you do anything without her helping or doing it.

I can't tell - are you having fun?

We then introduced Preston to homemade pizza. Callie had an absolute blast. Surprisingly she didn't try to eat any of the toppings until we got to the black olives, then we couldn't stop her.

Adding the pepperoni - there was a large pile of pepperoni in one spot on her pizza

Hmm....these are good mom, how come I've never had them before?

Last but not least, the cheese. Her favorite!

Getting growy

Now that Liam has arrived, it's becoming more and more obvious how big and mature Callie is! I keep telling her that she needs to stop getting so big.....her response? "No, I want to get growy like you so I can open the blinds and drive all by myself!"......hmmm, not quite ready for that! But this weekend was a BIG weekend for Callie, Saturday I was feeding Liam and Callie was changing her babies when she ran off to the bathroom. After a couple minutes Preston ran to check on her and we found that she decided she was done with her pacifier and was throwing it into the trash (we had previously gotten rid of it until we found out she was afraid of the dark, and on our pediatrician's advice, gave it back to her after a month of no sleep). We went with it and Saturday she had her first pacifier free night......it was rough! Unfortunately Preston had to deal with the brunt of it, as I was up with Liam. Not much sleep in the graham house! We were motivated though.....Sunda...

Introducing.....Callie Lynn Graham

Our baby girl has finally come to join our family! Callie was born on August 10th at 6:34 pm., weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19.5 inches long. She is a absolute delight and Preston and I can't seem to get enough of her. Although the laboring went quickly, the delivery proved a bit trickier for me and we ended up needing to deliver by C-section. Callie was extremely healthy and was ready to leave the hospital even before I was! Due to a few complications, Preston, Callie, and I ended up staying at the hospital for 5 days. Luckily Preston has so much time off of work - don't know what we would have done if he needed to go back after a week. We can't seem to say enough positive things about the nursing staff at St. Joseph's hospital. They were amazing! Although it was not fun staying at the hospital that long (especially since we only packed our bag for one night) we got a lot of extra help with nursing and overall care of Callie. Both Preston and Call...

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.
