Water Baby

Callie's summer is off to a great start! Callie has certainly become our water baby! She loves being in the water every chance she gets! The pictures above are from Father's Day when we were invited to a neighbors pool-thank you! Callie was in the water for three hours straight. She would cry every time that we tried to take her out.

Callie has also started to get more vocal in the past couple of weeks. She is saying lots of "Dada's", "up", and "help". She had been communicating well with the sign's that we had tought her, but we are happy that her voice is starting to get more usage!

Callie is also walking a lot more. She is iniatiating it herself and if she doesn't get too excited, she can make it across the room on her own! She was evaluated by Physical Therapy last week and they are thrilled with her progress. Her therapist said that her development was "textbook". I asked if that was textbook for a micropreemie and she said, no, textbook for childhood development! That was SO nice to hear!!

Callie made her first visit to Ocean City, NJ for the 4th of July! She absolutely loved it!

Mommy and Daddy couldn't believe how much she loved the water. Everytime we would try to walk her towards the beach, she would turn us around back into the water! We never sat down the whole time we were there!!

After a long day splashing in the ocean, Callie finally took a nap on the boardwalk! We hope everyone had a wonderful fourth of July!
