Awake!

Now that Cali can sit up on her own, this is how I find her when she wakes up.


Sitting up and smiling in her crib!

Toyland & New Tricks

Friday night Grandma Jordan and Grannie came over for dinner. We had a nice time chatting and watching Cali play.

Saturday we went to Toyland (my sister's house) to celebrate my birthday. Cali had a blast! She played in a horse jumpy, went through boxes of toys and played with her cousins. With the combination of Mary's house having carpet (our house is hardwood and tile) and the older cousins running around Cali got some motivation to move. She accomplished 2 new tricks while at Aunt Mary's house:

1 - Go from on her tummy to a sitting position.

2 - Go from sitting to pulling up on furniture, toys and Nick.

This is my first attempt at iMovie.

Shoes

As a women their are certain rights of passage... Cali achieved one of these over the weekend. Shoe shopping!

We went Saturday night with Nick's mom and her friend but were not willing to spend $30 on a pair. So we left empty handed.

With Angie's advice Cali and I went to Target on Sunday. Here is the picture of Cali trying on shoes! We decided to go with the pink pair! She wore them all day and only pulled them off once!

Grandparent Fun!

Saturday Cali got to play with her grandparents!

Grandma Kerry and Grandpa Ray came over to play Saturday for a few hours while Nick was hanging out with the youth. They came over for lunch and some quality play time.
Here is Cali playing with Grandma Kerry!


After a good nap we meet Grandma Jordan and her friend for dinner. After dinner we walked around and tried to find Cali her first pair of shoes. They were great sports as we dragged them from kids section to kids section trying on shoes!

#3

Cali's 3rd tooth has officially arrived!
She is feeling much better today too. I guess the hard part is getting the tooth up through the gums.

Teething Monster

The Teething Monster has taken over our daughter! Poor Cali has at least 1 tooth coming in that we can see. The past 3 days and nights have been difficult for all of us! Cali is extremely needy and wants to be held a lot. She also had a low grade fever this evening. We are giving her Tylenol as frequently as we can.

Monday night she woke up at 11:30pm and was up crying until 12:30am. I nursed her and she was out. Tuesday she was up at 12am and I just nursed her. Wednesday night she was up at 12am and cried until 1:30am.

Poor girl - I know she needs teeth, but I wish it wasn't so hard for them to come in.
