FOUR!!!

My how time flies. My little girl turned four a couple days ago and I can't believe it. I have enjoyed watching her mature into a caring, spunky big girl. By far, I have loved the change in her as she has gone from a single child to a big sister. She is the best big sister one could ask for.


She lives to love life and is a very content little girl. She is excited to be growing up and can't wait until she hits kindergarten (one more year to go...eeek). She is spunky and creative. One of her favorite things to do is make up songs and stories. Sometimes they make sense, and sometimes, not so much. She would spend all day being read to if we let her (which I love) and we often spend our car rides listening to books on CD. She has a passion for learning new things and sharing them with those around her. She can be timid until she is comfortable and the she doesn't hold anything back. I love her with everything I have!
I stole Sarah's idea and interviewed Callie - I figured her answers would be very interesting :) - thanks Sarah for the great idea!

This year we entered into the "friend birthday parties". Preston and I took the easy way out and scheduled a gym party. The kids had a blast - I'm sure everyone slept good that night. There was a lot of running, jumping, and playing. Most of my pictures came out blurry...even on the sports setting. 
The foam pit was a big hit with the kids

The party gang

Afterwards, our family headed to our house to have some BBQ and relax.
There was some football watching....

and some present opening

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 ...
