Six!

This summer has truly flown by. I know that I seem to say this every year, and every year it seems to go quicker. The lack of posts this summer is testament to the fun and adventures we have been having. Please excuse the order of my posts - they will be a bit mixed up.

I'm going to start with 6! I can't believe this girl turned six. She is such an adventurous light in my life. I pray that she never loses her adventurous side and that as she gets older she enjoys trying new things and taking off to see the world. I love this little girl so much and am so proud of how hard she works at things. I am proud to be her mom and love her to the moon and back. I just wish time would slow down just a bit, she is already looking forward to turning 7. If you ask her how old she is: "6 going on 7"

She made it very easy on us this year for her birthday. She requested going to the gym again this year, and we were happy to make that happen. The kids played and sweated for 2 hours straight, only stopping for cupcakes and water. It's safe to say that all the kiddos had a blast.


On her actual birthday she requested to go camping. We tried somewhere new and it will now become a regular spot of ours. We headed to the White River Campground in the Mount Rainier National Forest. It was so nice to just unplug for 4 days and hike, explore, and get as dirty as possible. We woke every morning with Callie asking where we were going hike today and tried some new (and beautiful) adventures.










Callie made us breakfast - it was delicious!

Oh....and Liam got dirty.....really dirty!






And....Callie got her ears pierced!

which included a manicure :)

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
