It's been a while...

So much has happened in the last few months.  We moved and the fun never ends.  Someday the to-do list will become more manageable and things will slow down a little bit...at least I hope so!

Callie is growing and maturing so quickly right now is is scary and adorable all at once.  Here are some of her newest things:

  • Pedaling her trike-but only down the hill so she can "go really fast."  Apparently it is too much work to pedal up the hill, so she will get off and push her trike up the hill.
  • Still loves dancing.  We went to see Sesame Street Live last weekend and she is "dancing like Zoe" all the time now.  We are going to the ballet this weekend and she is super excited.
  • The little potty is no longer acceptable.  She wants to use Mamma's potty, i.e, the toilet in Mom and Dad's bathroom.  I guess it doesn't belong to Mike.
  • She is now is a toddler bed and loves being a big girl.  So much so that she kicks us out of her room so she can climb in and put herself to bed.  She even tells us where to go-Mama and Daddy will go to the living room.  On that note, she sleeps like a big girl now.  Under the blankets, facing the right way, on her side.  There is no more crazy, all over the place, butt up in the air sleeping.  
  • She loves to help.  She will stop playing outside to come and help make dinner.  Papa bought her a pair of garden gloves and she immediately put them on and went to "do work."  The work consisted of pulling blades of grass out of the yard, but it was work in her mind.  
  • She loves anything outside...walks, her trike, shovel, and the beach.  So much so that she even brought the beach home one time by filling her bucket up with handfuls of sand on the way out
And I am sure there is more that I can't remember right now.
