Seabrook and Easter

The weekend before spring break we headed up to Seabrook for a long, relaxing weekend. It didn't quite start the way we planned but we adjusted and made the best of a crummy situation. On Easter day Liam came down with a fever which caused us to stay home and watch movies all day. His fever continued for multiple days and we ended up having to take him to the doctor to get checked out. After 5 days of fever, we ended up getting the okay from his doctor and packed him up and took him to Seabrook. He slept the first 2 days and Preston and I took turns taking Callie out to explore and enjoy all that Seabrook has to offer. Luckily, Liam was too sick to realize what he was missing out on. By the last full day, Liam was able to head to the beach for part of the day and he and Callie enjoyed every monent of being together on the beach. They flew kites, dug holes, built sandcastles, and splashed in the mud puddles. Although it wasn't the most ideal family vacation, we were together and had a blast.
Both Callie and Liam were sick on Easter so we didn't take many pictures. We enjoyed a homemade dinner of macaroni and cheese and hot dogs and watched movies all day. We still had fun dying eggs and finding our Easter baskets hidden around the house

We lucked out with some amazing weather while we were in Seabrook.

A Callie only day on the beach = mud puddle jumping, kite flying, and tons of giggles.

We got one day with everyone enjoying the beach together. We lucked out with mild winds and amazing sun.

Callie was so excited to show Liam the beach

This boy is so happy digging

Daddy is a much better kite flier than I am..

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
