Lake Kachess Camping

Hmm....so, I'm realizing that its been almost 2 months since I last posted....guess that means we were having too much fun, guess that also means I have a lot of catch up to do.....so......here we go!

We took a family camping trip to Lake Kachess on the hottest. weekend. ever. It was over 100 degrees which made us extremely thankful we were near a lake. Luckily the heat did not bother the kids and Callie was in heaven with the lake. Liam was extremely happy camping, in fact, I don't think I've ever seen him happier. To be outside all day and be able to have his sister's undivided attention, he was so happy. We enjoyed the experience of having absolutely NO routine, NO priorities, and NO obligations.

We lucked out with a very secluded campsite and it allowed the kids to just explore with no fear that they would accidentally run into another campsite. Not really sure why we even brought toys, I don't think we really played with anything besides sand toys.

This is not the best picture but, by far, my favorite. Callie is helping Liam through the woods....what an amazing sister!

There was much rock throwing over the weekend....we tried to throw the biggest, the smallest, the most, any rocks we could get our hands on.

This was about how far Liam went in the lake the whole weekend but Callie was more than happy to swim with Preston. She is a bit of a fish!

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
