8 Months!!!

Holy cow! Time is flying by too fast!
I am very late on this post....better late than ever right?!
Our boy is 8 months old and growing as fast as can be.

  • He is crawling everywhere and really wants to stand up. I'm sure one of these days, I will turn around and he will be standing all by himself. 
  • He is starting to pull himself up on things but often just lets go of whatever he is standing with and falls right down. 
  • We are getting more and more teeth. He has his bottom teeth and one side top tooth - the front 2 teeth and other side tooth is coming in as we speak. 
  • He is very loud and seriously voices his thoughts about his car seat....his thoughts are never positive about the car.
  • He continues to be a picky eater but has started doing more finger food. I've figured out we are going to need to mix his veggies in his fruit in order for him to eat them without complaint. 
  • His sleep continues to be extremely sporadic....nothing else to say about that :)
  • He, now seems to love the water....and can spend the whole bath splashing his sister (which, luckily, she finds hilarious)
  • He is a very content and happy boy - when he is loud and cranky it is always for a reason.
Crawling through the tunnel - I couldn't get him to do it but the cat could!

Playing with his sister - learning his ABCs

More sister love :)


Go Huskies!

He is a very happy boy - most of the time!

When he gets tired, he crashes.....wherever.....

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.

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 ...

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 ...
