"Before" - this dress & pose looks familiar - is that Paisley or Sadie?

Happy 9 months Callie....

Here's your 9 month birthday present....an ear infection!  :(  Poor Callie...she's constantly being exposed to preschool germs and her body finally caved.  It's a good thing she had her appointment set for her routine check up because she was able to get diagnosed and prescribed a course of antibiotics, which is something her big sister Sadie is still a virgin to.  I can tell she is just completely miserable, but she still manages to dance to some beats and can occasionally crack a smile.  She's still a "big girl" according to the stats, but her weight is starting to taper off.  She can now officially crawl, woohoo....but still prefers to SIT!  Another thing to note is that she still has NO teeth! :)  We love her gummy smile!

Height 28.5" = 80%
Weight 19 lb 13 oz = 72%.

*Update on ear infection.  This has been one of the worst weeks ever, but maybe not quite as bad as the good ole colic/reflux days.  Fussy, congested, feverish, restless -- all what Callie has been experiencing the past few days.  The vomiting was becoming quite worrisome, but not really treatable since it is all tied into her reflux problem - weak sphincter tone between her esophagus and stomach causes the stomach contents to come up with the force of the cough.  Her moaning, coughing, and crying throughout the days and nights have mommy, daddy, and grammie wound up tight with concern, but at least she has "stores" to live off of :)

Big girl can do the splits! 

Mellow yellow - fell asleep when she's supposed to be exercising!
Out cold - she could go to Japan and fit right in (sleep while standing on the train)
It's been a rough 9th month for Callie - as she had her ear infection in the early part of the month, followed by tooth eruption (finally) at mid-month, and roseola at the tail end of July.  She weathered the storm, and now is almost back to herself at her 10 month birthday :)

WPB Graduation


Well technically today was only Paisley's graduation day, but it was also a special day for Chase and Sadie as they have now completed their first school year!  This year was a year full of lots of learning; learning how to be a big sister, learning how to ride a tricycle, learning how to brush teeth / wash hands / and use the POTTY!, learning how to play and share with others, learning colors / numbers / alphabets, learning how to pray, learning how to do drawing / painting / crafts, learning manners (still a work in progress:), learning about family and friends, the list goes on and on.

Time flies

Time just flies when you're having so much fun!  Both the girls are growing and changing on a daily basis, and sometimes I just can't believe how much they can learn, and how much they can change....literally overnight!  In the past few weeks, Sadie has really started to talk a lot, ask a lot of questions, and even make a lot of demands!  She has become pretty proficient at using the potty, and now wears panties regularly on the weekends to "practice."  Sadie can also now ride her tricycle and is getting better at drawing and painting things that actually resemble real objects, lol.

Callie is also growing way too fast!  She now sits up on her own and reaches for her toys and enjoys examining the different textures and patterns....this is in stark contrast to Sadie, who would pick up a toy, look at it for 3 seconds, then toss it aside!  Callie's also been experiencing the joys of eating.  So far she's had peas, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, prunes, and pears. She doesn't seem to have a favorite food...which is good.  Hopefully she's not a picky eater like her big sis.....and to put it bluntly, she doesn't LOOK like a picky eater so far!
