Halloween

I've been a bit behind on the posting, I seem to forget how busy work makes me! Fall is one of my favorite times of the year, so we have been making the most of it! 

We enjoyed a fun morning at the pumpkin patch. Choosing just the right ones!

She refused to look at the camera :-)

We then headed home to carve. Our little girl was, of course, all about the goop and had her hands inside the pumpkins, flinging seeds all over. (Sorry these pictures are not in any order)

She found all the pumpkins in our house and lined them up. She wouldn't let us take the pumpkins outside, we had to wait until she was asleep :-)

The finished projects!

The goop!

Digging around to find all that gooey stuff

We then headed to Amy's on Halloween to enjoy some neighborhood trick or treating. It was so fun to see all the kids and their excitement, we were pretty much running from house to house. I forgot my camera so got no shots of Callie......bad mom, I know! Here's a group shot of most of the kiddos.....thanks shauna!

The gang 

Before Halloween, Callie and I headed to a local farm to enjoy horses, rides, hay, and yummy treats! Callie and I had a blast.

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.

7 Months

This month seemed to have flown by just as quickly as all the others. It's crazy to think she has been part of our family for seven months already. We have had our first real battle (and are still battling) with a never ending cold. She has been a trooper though - although I wish that we could do more to help her. Here's what is new (things have moved very quickly this month): She is up on all fours. She seems to be taking after her cousin Clara, where she can crawl backwards but not yet forwards - which can be very frustrating as the toy she is trying to get to seems to just keep getting farther and farther away. After she learned to get up on all fours, she very quickly learned to go from all fours to sitting. We have yet to find any real foods that she will turn down, although green beans appears to be her favorite so far. When feeding her green beans she will lean forward VERY far and open her mouth as wide as can be just to get the next bite. We can't seem to get

10 Months

So, I am a bit behind. It is officially the end of the school year and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with learning the new job and the close of the school year. Much different from the classroom. When I took Callie in for her nine month appointment her pediatrician checked her ears (which looked totally fine) then made the comment - I don't mean to jinx you but has Callie had an ear infection yet? To which my response was no (she had a super mild one that they gave us medicine for just because we were getting on a plane to Pitt) - in my mind, my response was "no, but we have had everything else imaginable"! The newest thing: last Friday when Callie got up for the day, her eyes were swollen shut. Turns out she had pink eye which was no fun. Many rough nights later she seems to finally be getting back to her happy go lucky self. Here are the newest things about Callie: She continues to get quicker walking with a push toy. Her teachers love watching her outside at da
