8 Months!!!

Holy cow! Time is flying by too fast!
I am very late on this post....better late than ever right?!
Our boy is 8 months old and growing as fast as can be.

  • He is crawling everywhere and really wants to stand up. I'm sure one of these days, I will turn around and he will be standing all by himself. 
  • He is starting to pull himself up on things but often just lets go of whatever he is standing with and falls right down. 
  • We are getting more and more teeth. He has his bottom teeth and one side top tooth - the front 2 teeth and other side tooth is coming in as we speak. 
  • He is very loud and seriously voices his thoughts about his car seat....his thoughts are never positive about the car.
  • He continues to be a picky eater but has started doing more finger food. I've figured out we are going to need to mix his veggies in his fruit in order for him to eat them without complaint. 
  • His sleep continues to be extremely sporadic....nothing else to say about that :)
  • He, now seems to love the water....and can spend the whole bath splashing his sister (which, luckily, she finds hilarious)
  • He is a very content and happy boy - when he is loud and cranky it is always for a reason.
Crawling through the tunnel - I couldn't get him to do it but the cat could!

Playing with his sister - learning his ABCs

More sister love :)


Go Huskies!

He is a very happy boy - most of the time!

When he gets tired, he crashes.....wherever.....

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
