Easter

This year we had a very low key Easter. Mom had her last round of chemo this week and because of that, we celebrated Easter a week early with the Knowles family. It was an amazing day full of Easter egg hunts, bike riding, cookie decorating, and running around. It was perfect (it did help that we ended up with an absolutely gorgeous day!)! I, of course, took no pictures of the day......check Sarah's blog :-)
On Easter, we spent the day relaxing....just the four of us. We headed to church in the morning and while we were at church the Easter bunny came and hid a basket and eggs for Callie.
That tricky Easter bunny hid her basket behind the chair (a popular hide and seek location)

Checking out her Easter basket

Yum....jelly beans!

Some very silly glasses

The Easter bunny also hid a dozen plastic eggs around the house which contained Callie's lunch. She had SO much fun finding the eggs and opening them to see what the Easter bunny made her for lunch. 

A bagel piece with strawberry cream cheese....a favorite!

Here's my lunch....

Liam slept through most of the egg hunt and basket hunt but was all smiles when he got up!

Callie then helped me put the pineapple on the ham

Taking a step back in time, we decorated eggs a week or so before. Callie had a blast deciding if the eggs were dark enough or if we needed to let them go a bit longer (the answer was always longer).
Dye is all mixed and eggs are ready to be dyed

Liam kind of slept through the whole process....

Grandma and Grandpa got her a magnifying glass. She had to inspect every egg before she deemed it was good!


The finished product!

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

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.
