Snow Fun

We finally got a our first snow of the season on Christmas Eve, than again 2 days later. Austin was't feeling that great but I decided to let him go out for a few minutes to enjoy the snow with Titus, Silas, and their Dad. He absolutely loved the snow, he was running around, throwing snowballs, and "helping" make a snowman.

Callie at 7 Months Old

Age: 7 months

Weight: I am guessing around 15 pounds

Height: Not sure

Head Circumference: Not sure

Clothing: 3-6 months sleepers, and 6 month dresses, pants and onesies. She is in a size 2 diapers during the day and size 3 at night.

Sleeping: Still sucks, it is really hit or miss with her. She usually takes two naps at day, sometimes 3 but that is rare. She is still getting up at least 2-3 times a night to eat, but some nights it in more like 4 or 5 :(

Eating Habits: She is eating every  2-4 hours taking around 4-6 ounces at a time. She is such a mess when she drinks her bottle and it takes her forever. She would rather play and spit it out than actually drink it. She is eating one 4 oz. fruit or veggie every night. So far she has had sweet potatoes, squash, green beans, peas, pears, and a couple different blended pouches.

Favorite Activity: Getting into Austin's cars
Milestones: She is now officially sitting up unassisted. Every now and than she will throw her self back, so we still need to be careful and not leave her alone. She is also a master at rolling over, which is her preferred mode of transportation. We can lay her on her play mat, and within seconds she is somewhere else. She has absolutely no interest in crawling, she isn't even pushing herself up yet.

Updates: We celebrated Callie's first Christmas and will soon be ringing in the New Year. It is hard to believe that Miss Callie is closer to being a year old than to being a newborn. Time needs to slow down!!!

She is a lady of many faces!!!!

Christmas Day 2012

This year was our best Christmas yet. Not only was it Callie's first Christmas, but Austin really enjoyed himself. Christmas Eve Austin to was too excited to sleep, I don't think he fell asleep until 10:30 and was up by 7 am. Thankfully I was able to lay in bed with him until 7:45 than we got Daddy up. Callie was still sleeping, so we let Austin play with his gifts from Santa until she woke up. Judging from the amount of gifts under our tree, our kids must have been extremely good this year. We are truly blessed to have so many people love and spoil our kids as much as we do.

Christmas Eve 2012

Before we went to my inlaws for Christmas Eve dinner, I shared one of my family traditions with Callie and Austin by allowing them to open presents from my Mom's side of the family. 

Presents from Granny, Gramps, Great Uncle Tom, and Great Aunt Carol
