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 daycare because she moves so fast with nothing to stop her. She travels from one side of the house to the other in record time.
  • She now eats whatever we eat for dinner, which is VERY nice. I am no longer cooking anything special for her - she gets what we get and hasn't complained once about it. She totally has her favorites, lasagna being one of them. They served lasagna at day care the other day and she had 4 servings! That's my girl!
  • She can now blow kisses and give five
  • She is fascinated with opening and closing things, and putting things in and taking them out again.
  • She loves being around other kids - it doesn't seem to matter if she knows them or not (although she does seem to favor her older cousins and seems to love Wyatt).
  • She can now sign for milk - although doesn't seem to do it to tell us she wants it but tends to do it after she sees the milk or the bottle.
  • She loves to climb things (we often pile all the couch cushions and she just goes to town on them) and crawl through things (tunnels, between furniture, between legs - doesn't matter whose).
  • Callie is very good at telling us when she is frustrated with us or when we do something she doesn't like.
  • She is extremely persistent and "no" doesn't seem to stop her (in fact, she will look at you, smile, and continue to do it).
  • Callie has gotten one of her top teeth and the one next to it - right now she's a bit lopsided on the top.
  • She LOVES music and will drop anything to dance when given the chance!

Hanging with grandmother



    She loves hanging out under the table

    How can you not love this face - especially if it's one of the first things you see when you get up in the morning?!

    Crawling through a mom made tunnel - yes, it collapsed right on top of her which she thought was hilarious

    A new fun game she learned - yes, she can pull ALL the toilet paper off the roll in case you were wondering

    Attacking the cat

    :-(  Lots of cuddling went on during the pink eye - this was taken after we started the antibiotics, she looks better than when she woke up if you can imagine

Getting growy

Now that Liam has arrived, it's becoming more and more obvious how big and mature Callie is! I keep telling her that she needs to stop getting so big.....her response? "No, I want to get growy like you so I can open the blinds and drive all by myself!"......hmmm, not quite ready for that! But this weekend was a BIG weekend for Callie, Saturday I was feeding Liam and Callie was changing her babies when she ran off to the bathroom. After a couple minutes Preston ran to check on her and we found that she decided she was done with her pacifier and was throwing it into the trash (we had previously gotten rid of it until we found out she was afraid of the dark, and on our pediatrician's advice, gave it back to her after a month of no sleep). We went with it and Saturday she had her first pacifier free night......it was rough! Unfortunately Preston had to deal with the brunt of it, as I was up with Liam. Not much sleep in the graham house! We were motivated though.....Sunda...

Introducing.....Callie Lynn Graham

Our baby girl has finally come to join our family! Callie was born on August 10th at 6:34 pm., weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19.5 inches long. She is a absolute delight and Preston and I can't seem to get enough of her. Although the laboring went quickly, the delivery proved a bit trickier for me and we ended up needing to deliver by C-section. Callie was extremely healthy and was ready to leave the hospital even before I was! Due to a few complications, Preston, Callie, and I ended up staying at the hospital for 5 days. Luckily Preston has so much time off of work - don't know what we would have done if he needed to go back after a week. We can't seem to say enough positive things about the nursing staff at St. Joseph's hospital. They were amazing! Although it was not fun staying at the hospital that long (especially since we only packed our bag for one night) we got a lot of extra help with nursing and overall care of Callie. Both Preston and Call...

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.
