Two Years Old

My how time has flown by. Our little boy is not so little anymore. Amazing to think that it was 2 years ago that he was born and that our family changed from a family of 3 to a family of 4.
Everyday I am amazed at how different our 2 kids are. I love their crazy differences and embrace everything that makes them them.

Here's some updates about our crazy boy:

  • He is the most independent kid I have encountered in a while. I can't remember the last time that he held my hand without a fit (when crossing the street especially). He has to get in and out of the car all by  himself, he has to make his own breakfast every morning, his favorite words are "myself". 
  • Although he is very independent, he is also a very good snuggler. He loves to just wrap his arms around you and snuggle in tight. 
  • He loves to sing; loudly, wherever he is. His favorite songs are Jesus Loves Me, Twinkle Twinkle, Happy Birthday, Star Light, Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, and Mr. Moon. 
  • He is a bit truck obsessed. Pretty much all he plays with, all day long. The trucks drive around the house, they sit at the table and cheer him on when he eats (Go, Liam, Go), they go potty in Callie's dollhouse....pretty much anything you can think about, he does with a truck. His favorites are Lightening McQueen and his school bus. 
  • We have made a lot of progress on his language. He now talks in complete sentences and much easier to understand and communicate with. 
  • We have also turned the corner on books. It has taken him quite a while but he finally is starting to love books and being read to (especially if they are truck books). 
  • He loves his sister and follows her around daily. Luckily, most days, she is extremely patient with him. He loves to play hide and seek with her and, surprisingly, will sit quietly in a hiding spot and wait for her to find him. They are also found playing 'get you' daily....which pretty much just means they chase each other around the house. 
  • He continues to be a bit shy around other people although he will play coy with some strangers. We haven't enrolled him in swim lessons yet but each week he goes to story time at the local library and tumbling through the Y. Each week he opens up a bit more and will do a bit more each time. Today I actually caught him singing along during story time. 
  • Outside continues to be his favorite place; rain or shine. If he could spend all day outside he would. 
We didn't do much for his birthday. A quiet celebration at home with just us. Liam was totally happy because he got a cupcake and new trucks....a perfect day for him.


Here's just some random things from our crazy boy.

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

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.

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
