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 it to her fast enough.
  • She will be your best friend if you take her outside
  • She is in the process of learning how to clap (she can do it if she has two toys in her hands) and wave (as of right now she waves to herself at very random times)
  • Still lights up at singing. Her favorites include Mr. Moon, Pat a Cake, 5 Green and Speckled Frogs, and Shake My Sillies Out
  • She now has started sleeping on her side and stomach

She backed herself up to her toy shelf, then sat herself up and started pulling toys and books off the shelf

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip.  When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.
