7 Months

Oops, a bit late on this one! We have had a busy schedule lately.....I thought it was supposed to be easier now that I'm not working....ha! Liam has been adjusting to Callie's new schedule - preschool, swim lessons, soccer practice and much more. Soon it's time for me to start doing things just for Liam!
Here's my big guy at seven months:
(so stinkin' cute!!)

  • He is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Weighing in around 20 pounds he is getting close to transitioning to a big boy car seat! How fast time flies!
  • He can totally sit all by himself and totally prefers to be sitting more than anything else. 
  • We have no movement - doesn't seem to be too motivated to crawl yet. He will try to get a toy out of reach and then just give up when he realizes he can't reach it. 
  • He can get up on all fours now and will rock back and forth but can't quite figure out how to move his arms to crawl. 
  • His sleep continues to be extremely erratic. Some nights are great and some nights are not great. He has gotten a lot of tough love but it doesn't really seem to help much. 
  • His sister continues to be his number one (the cats are a close second) and it totally warms my heart to see the two of them laugh and giggle together. 
  • Food is much more successful now. He loves picking up food (puffs) and eats a lot of squash, carrots, and bananas. 
  • He is a bit of a social butterfly. Anytime someone (even a stranger) looks at him and smiles, he lights up and giggles and smiles back at them. 
  • He is very aware of his surroundings now and outings are very fun with the two of them. We just spent the day at the zoo and the penguins were his favorites. 





He's almost moving.......

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
