Random spring fun

I'm realizing how bad I have been about keeping up with things. You'd think I'd have more time with Callie in school but time seems to slip away from me. We've had a busy couple of months...trying to make the most of the weather and enjoy spring even though it has yet to arrive.

Everyone needs a little fancy in their life.....Grandma took us to see Fancy Nancy at the Tacoma Musical Playhouse. I love Fancy Nancy and the show did not disappoint. Super fun time with the girls and grandma.

I love how our 3 girls have 3 very distinct and very different personalities and perspectives on what it means to be fancy!

We also hit up the spring fair when it was in town with Grandma and Grandpa. I actually seem to prefer the spring fair over the big fall fair. I love how small the spring fair is, so much less overwhelming for me. After we visited the animals and the rides we watched "slamfest". It is safe to say that I had no idea what I was getting into - a new experience, something that I did not expect, and something I still don't have words for. Needless to say, Liam loved it (and I am pretty sure Grandpa enjoyed it as much as him).

The show was very late - it didn't actually start until bedtime. Liam had no problem with it but I think Callie struggled to keep herself awake :)

Cars, cars, and more cars!

And here are just some random things from our goofy, busy life :)

We took our Girl Scout troop to a local fire station which was so fun! Liam tagged along and was able to enjoy the trucks thanks to having a sister in Girl Scouts.

I'm going to be missing this little dude when he starts preschool next year! Not sure who will make me laugh throughout the day. He is truly a goofball.

Callie tried out some local ice skating for a friend's birthday party. She loved it! I had trouble getting her off the ice.

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 ...
