Two Years Old!!


i can't believe our little girl is now 2 - although there are times when she reminds me.....We celebrated her birthday a week early surrounded by good family and friends. We were camping on her actual birthday - which was a blast.

Here's some updates:
  • She continues to grow like a weed. She is in the 92nd percentile for height and the 76th percentile in weight. We are constantly trying to find shirts long enough for her torso. 
  • She is an absolute chatterbox. She speaks in complete sentences and picks up everything we say. I made the mistake about complaining about the traffic when she was in the car (don't worry, it was clean complaining) and now every time we stop the car (even at a red light) she tells me traffic stinks. 
  • Her favorite thing to do it sing. She sings songs we've taught her, songs she learned at day care, and my favorite, songs she makes up. 
  • She continues to be a bit shy when she first meets people but it doesn't take her long to warm up. 
  • She has a very strong personality - she knows what she wants, when she wants it, and will let you know...no matter what. Her favorite comments that we hear over and over - "I said...NO THANK YOU", "walk away mama", "do you need  me to help you?"
  • She is interested in the potty. Although I am not ready yet to make that leap.
  • She continues to learn new things quickly and loves to show those off. 
  • She is into creative, imaginative play. She loves her babies and loves to take care of them all the time.

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.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

9 Months

It's hard to believe that in 3 months our beautiful daughter will be 1 year old! How fast time flies (and how quickly she changes). Here's some updates (on our very big bug): She weighs in at a whopping 20 lb 13 oz (81% percentile) and continues to be VERY long, measuring in at 29.75 inches (98% percentile). Again, we are not sure who she got that gene from. She now not only can get herself down from the standing position but she also has had a few moments when she has stood totally by herself. On Mother's Day she stood for a good 5 seconds all by herself. Daycare tells us that she now uses other kids heads to help herself stand up (sorry!). She can also walk along the couch or another long piece of furniture. Today I was cooking dinner (Callie is often very content playing in the kitchen with "non toys" while I cook) and I looked over and she was pushing the kitchen chair across the floor. I was so excited, I made her do it again so I could video tape it ...
