Fall Sports

With the start of school, we have managed to keep extremely busy. This fall, Callie played on a soccer team and started rock climbing at a local bouldering gym. Both sports have seem to be a really good fit for her. She is always excited to go and ready to learn something new.

We lucked out with fall soccer this year and only had 1 or 2 actual rainy days. Looking forward to many more soccer games and much more cheering by me.
Laurel and Callie lucked out and got to play on the same team again. Safe to say, they both loved having each other on the same team


Liam was not always happy to go sit in the cold and watch a game but if we brought enough blankets, snacks, and toys he'd make it work

This season Callie got a bit more aggressive and it was so much fun to watch her go after the ball and hustle across the field

Another benefit of having Laurel on the same team is our cheering squad doubled :)

We took a chance and enrolled Callie in a rock climbing class. We weren't totally sure she would like it but after the first lesson, she was hooked! She got in the car and told us that she wanted to become a famous rock climber. Hopefully her enthusiasm continues for a while. It's very fun to watch her go after it; she has a good mixture of fearlessness and caution. 

Sorry, the video is a bit shaky (Liam kept running into me....he was a big fan of the padded mats)

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
