Birthday Pictures

Here are some pictures from Callie's Birthday! It was a great day!

Callie's Baptism

I am sorry that it has been so long since we have posted...we were having computer issues. Here are some pictures from Callie's Baptism. It was a beautiful ceremony and it was so great to be surrounded by family and friends!

Happy Birthday Callie!

Happy Birthday baby girl! Our little fighter is one today! We couldn't be more proud!

We thought we would share some pictures from the snow storm and an exciting video from last night! Finally, Callie crawled! She had been taking a few strides, but last night was the first time she actually went where she wanted to go! We have a busy day with Callie's Baptism and Birthday party...we can't wait to celebrate! We will share Birthday pictures soon!

Snowed In!!

What a weekend! Callie had her first real blizzard with 30" of snow! We spent the whole weekend having family time, it was great!

Callie finally learned how to transition herself from laying to sitting...she is so proud of herself (as we are we!)! She has also started crawling backwards, and has made a few moves forward. We know that any day she is going to take off!

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!

Standing Tall

Callie continues to impress us every day-and night! I am writing this (at 11pm) as she is standing, yes standing, next to me clapping her hands! She loves to pull herself to standing, but still hasn't crawled...although she gets closer daily! She also loves to babble...she is discovering all different types of sounds that she can make. We are loving the weather this week and have gotten out on walks almost every day! Callie is now such a big girl that she sits facing out!

She had her synagis shot today and weighed in at 17 lbs 3 oz.

Our Big Girl

Here are some fun pictures of our growing girl. She is getting more playful and active every day! Eating has gotten very interesting...Callie wants to be in constant control!
