Little Miss Personality

Callie is developing quite the little personality. We have been having issues transitioning Callie to solid foods. Some days she would do great, and on other days, she would simply refuse, and most days she just wanted to do it herself. After discussing this with several people, from the pediatrician's office to Infants and Toddlers, and getting different advice from everyone-based on a recommendation from the Developmental Pediatrician, we decided to have her evaluated by an Occupational Therapist to make sure that there were any oral issues from her time on the ventillator (this can occur in preemies). After a few minutes with Callie, the OT confirmed what we already knew, Callie has a mind of her own and the feeding issue is completely behavioral. So, at least we know there are no physical barriers holding us back...now we just have to adjust the behavior. It is a process, but we can already see improvements!We also believe our Princess has a future in acting...the Video above is of her fake cry. You can see her wimper and then stop to see if we are reacting...too funny!

In other news, Callie is starting to finally crawl! We really thought she would walk first as she is getting really comfortable on her feet, but over the weekend, she started to crawl short distances. We know it is a matter of days until she is motoring all over the house!

  1. What a little ham. Clearly a drama queen, just like her father. Great to hear that there aren't any barriers to feeding, with exception to being a little diva. Now's the time to get on all fours and start looking around because soon enough she'll have something you had forgotten was at her level in her mouth. Have fun with that!

    Big hugs from all of us,
