Fall

It seems to have taken a long time for fall to creep up on us but I think it officially has. Fall is my favorite season and have been trying to enjoy every moment of it. We've enjoyed the parks, the pumpkin patches and the leaves to their fullest. With Callie in school 4 days, Friday is our day to really play. Here are some of our adventures!

We headed to the pumpkin patch on a non school day (for both Maya and Callie). Since we grew our own pumpkins this year, we headed to a farm that was more about rides and entertainment than pumpkins. The kids had a blast - although you wouldn't know it by looking at Liam. Ha.

Liam is getting his 2 year molars and WILL NOT take his fingers, shirts, coats, out of his mouth. It is driving me bonkers!

The girls were so sweet to ride the toddler rides with Liam so that he felt comfortable. This was by far his favorite thing - I just love how the girls were willing to cram themselves into the train cars. 


The hay was not my kids favorite thing in the world - we pretty much just watched Maya play in it. They both tried it and didn't like it at all. 

I made Callie try jumping just once....she hated it :)

Preston has been out of town hunting and we have been trying some new adventures, We headed to a park that was full of leaves. Callie and I had a blast - Liam not so much. He got super upset when Callie buried herself in the leaves. 

Love this! She just sat there and picked up arm loads of leaves and threw them.

We've had a few sunny but cold days. We've been going to the park after picking Callie up from school and the kids pretty much just run around in the grass and chase each other

Ugh. I wished he would take things out of his mouth. 


This. 

And this.

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 ...
