A day in the park

Nick and Cali went to a local park this morning. Cali loved it and Nick got some amazing photos of our baby girl!




My favorite!


Heart Test

Cali had an ultrasound on her heart yesterday. At her 15 month Dr. visit the Pediatrician heard a heart murmur that he wanted to get checked out. So we took Cali to a specialist yesterday. Nick packed a bag full of toys and snacks to keep her occupied while we waited but ultimately this is what Cali did while we waited for the test.

Playing with the clipboard was way more fun than her toys. She did get some pen marks on her but it wasn't too bad.

The actual ultrasound was pretty rough on Cali. I think mostly she was scared. We had to lay her down on the a table in a dark room and a strange man was putting a probe on her chest. We tried our best to keep her calm but had little success. She cried for almost the whole procedure. Afterwards she clung to Nick and I like her life depended on it!

The poor girl was passed out as soon as we got in the car.

The results will be read and sent to our regular Pediatrician. So we'll see. I assume if we don't hear anything it is good news.

Sick

A nasty sickness has been in our house since last Thursday. Wednesday night Cali was up 10 times, so we new something wasn't right. When I came home at lunch she had a temperature of 103.8. We took her straight to the Dr. office. After a couple not fun tests we went home with some antiboitics. Friday and Saturday she started to feel better and act like her normal self. We skipped church Sunday just to be safe.

Unfortunalty Nick came home from church sick. He had a fever and has been wiped out. We had Nick's mom came play with Cali so I could help run the church youth event.

Today Cali spend some time with me at work until my dad could come over to watch Cali. It was fun to have her at the office as a toddler.
She had fun playing with toys and showing off for everyone at the office.

Hopefully Nick will be feeling better tomorrow!

16 Months Old!

Today Cali is 16 Months Old!
Where has the time gone? We now have a toddler running all over our house, getting into everything.


Cali Stats:
  • 21 lbs 31 inches long
  • Sleeps 7:30pm to 7:00am
  • Takes one 1-2 hour nap
  • Loves to drink milk
  • Wears size 3 diapers
  • Wears size 4.5 -5 shoe
  • Wears 12-18 month clothes
  • Loves to eat cookies, Macaroni n Cheese, sandwich meat, peas, pancakes, pears, graham crackers, and ground beef
Cali also loves to play in the refrigerator. We put her milk cup on the bottom shelf. When she gets thirsty she just goes to the door and points. Cali even tells us when she wants snack by pointing at the refrigerator or her high chair. She'll even pick out her snack if you let her.



Cali is in a throwing fits stage. This picture was taken after I wouldn't let her in the refrigerator. Poor thing gets so frustrated when you won't let her do what she wants.


Luckily the fits are normally short lived and she is back to happy Cali again.

Cali will even tell you when she needs a new diaper. She will go to her diaper bag, get out a diaper, wipes, the changing pad then lay down! It kills me! She is also waking up with dry diapers a lot.

Puppies!!

Nick and Cali had a chance to visit Alex and our Great-Granddogs today! Jack (our granddog) and his wife, Belle had three puppies about 5 weeks ago.

Cali was a little shy at first, but Alex helped to warm her up.


Petting a puppy!

This is how I roll

Jack and I ran a 5k the other weekend in Burlington. Jack was very excited at first but slowed to our running pace once we got going. It was a pretty good race with only a few hills. I even cut 13 seconds off my last race time!

This is us before the race. My shirt says "this is how I roll" and has a picture of a girl running with a dog! It's Jack and me!

This big hill was right before the finish line.

After the race we all sat in the grass.

It was pretty warm and Jack was thirsty!

On the way home he enjoyed the wind.
