Seabrook and Easter

The weekend before spring break we headed up to Seabrook for a long, relaxing weekend. It didn't quite start the way we planned but we adjusted and made the best of a crummy situation. On Easter day Liam came down with a fever which caused us to stay home and watch movies all day. His fever continued for multiple days and we ended up having to take him to the doctor to get checked out. After 5 days of fever, we ended up getting the okay from his doctor and packed him up and took him to Seabrook. He slept the first 2 days and Preston and I took turns taking Callie out to explore and enjoy all that Seabrook has to offer. Luckily, Liam was too sick to realize what he was missing out on. By the last full day, Liam was able to head to the beach for part of the day and he and Callie enjoyed every monent of being together on the beach. They flew kites, dug holes, built sandcastles, and splashed in the mud puddles. Although it wasn't the most ideal family vacation, we were together and had a blast.
Both Callie and Liam were sick on Easter so we didn't take many pictures. We enjoyed a homemade dinner of macaroni and cheese and hot dogs and watched movies all day. We still had fun dying eggs and finding our Easter baskets hidden around the house

We lucked out with some amazing weather while we were in Seabrook.

A Callie only day on the beach = mud puddle jumping, kite flying, and tons of giggles.

We got one day with everyone enjoying the beach together. We lucked out with mild winds and amazing sun.

Callie was so excited to show Liam the beach

This boy is so happy digging

Daddy is a much better kite flier than I am..

Zip line on the playground. Cars in the house

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 ...
