Fall

It seems to have taken a long time for fall to creep up on us but I think it officially has. Fall is my favorite season and have been trying to enjoy every moment of it. We've enjoyed the parks, the pumpkin patches and the leaves to their fullest. With Callie in school 4 days, Friday is our day to really play. Here are some of our adventures!

We headed to the pumpkin patch on a non school day (for both Maya and Callie). Since we grew our own pumpkins this year, we headed to a farm that was more about rides and entertainment than pumpkins. The kids had a blast - although you wouldn't know it by looking at Liam. Ha.

Liam is getting his 2 year molars and WILL NOT take his fingers, shirts, coats, out of his mouth. It is driving me bonkers!

The girls were so sweet to ride the toddler rides with Liam so that he felt comfortable. This was by far his favorite thing - I just love how the girls were willing to cram themselves into the train cars. 


The hay was not my kids favorite thing in the world - we pretty much just watched Maya play in it. They both tried it and didn't like it at all. 

I made Callie try jumping just once....she hated it :)

Preston has been out of town hunting and we have been trying some new adventures, We headed to a park that was full of leaves. Callie and I had a blast - Liam not so much. He got super upset when Callie buried herself in the leaves. 

Love this! She just sat there and picked up arm loads of leaves and threw them.

We've had a few sunny but cold days. We've been going to the park after picking Callie up from school and the kids pretty much just run around in the grass and chase each other

Ugh. I wished he would take things out of his mouth.

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
