Ten Months

Here we go....another month down, another month closer to one! Wow, time really does fly by.
Here is our goofball of a boy:


  • He has moved very quickly from learning to crawl to almost walking. He can and will stand on anything. He will walk along furniture and uses his push toy to get from one side of the house to the other. He will push furniture around and has taken one step by himself already (although it was by complete accident). 
  • He can stand now with confidence! I'm no longer nervous when he lets go of things. 
  • He is very noisy and will make his presence known in a room very quickly. 
  • He is starting to get a bit shy around strangers and will often play coy. Along with this shyness, he is starting to get a bit attached to Preston and I and is starting to not want to be held by others. 
  • His sleeping has become a bit more consistent (although I am sure I am just totally and completely jinxing myself by saying that). For the most part, he sleeps through the night (7-7) and I'm finally feeling like I am no longer in a fog. 
  • His sign language is getting good and he can sign more and all done, we are working on please and thank you. 
  • He is starting to have purpose to his play. He will try to put objects into things and will try to find them when Callie and I hide them. He will purposely open things and put toys inside and then close it back up. 
  • He truly recognizes many words - milk and no being the most familiar with him :-) He has no down but often will laugh and continue whatever he is doing (not boding well for Preston and I). 
He has officially become a boy and is no longer my little baby!

Aunt Sarah has taught him how to stand up in his crib and he is so happy about it! :-)
It takes him a bit longer to fall asleep now - the whole process involves some jumping in bed before he crashes

And this picture about sums up his personality....

We had a day off preschool and enjoyed a cold, cold, cold trip to the zoo with Amy and Clara (Liam looks thrilled - ha!)

Buddies!

Callie gets very upset if you go and get Liam out of his bed without her - she has become his morning wake up....he loves it (sometimes). It is a bit shocking....involves an immediate light turned on and then a "good morning Buddy" as loud as she can and then she crawls onto his crib to wait for him to meet her (I swear she would crawl in if I let her)

A daily occurrence......he has found a great way to entertain himself during cooking. It involves taking EVERYTHING out of the cupboards that he can reach. I've had to move some things around :-)

We headed to the Children's museum which was super fun because Liam was able to get out and explore

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
