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.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

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...
