Halloween

This Halloween, was extremely wet but very fun. We lucked out this year and went out trick or treating during the one hour (all day) that the rain stopped. We opted to go to a truck or treat - kind of the best of both worlds; trucks for Liam and candy for Callie. We gave Callie the option when we got home to either watch a movie or go treat or treating in the neighborhood - she opted for a movie and we were very happy with that choice. I didn't take many pictures, it was a bit too wet to carry a camera around. Callie wanted to go with Anna this year and we picked a cowboy for Liam. Surprisingly he wore the horse most of the time; surprising because the horse scared him straight for a month straight.


 Carving pumpkins was very fun this year. We grew the pumpkins again in our garden and ended up with some pretty big ones. Callie was all about the goop which was pretty fun to watch and Liam just wanted to roll all over the pumpkins.

Callie opted this year to carve a princess crown - Preston was more than happy to pull out the drill and help grant that request

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
