6 Months old!

I just came to the blog to see if anyone had commented on anything...nothing!

Then I noticed that the little ticker said I now had a 6 month old! WOW! That is 1/2 of a year! 6 months is one of the big "birthdays" to me, sorry.

Half way done with the baby stage that my husband loves so...NOT! I am not so excited for being done with the baby stage. Dont get any ideas--we are very happy with 2 kids for now and for quite awhile

The best part of her being 6 months: I am 1/2 way done with my goal of nursing her 1 year!! Yes!!!! That is pretty darn tootin' exciting!! I am not really complaining per say... but it is kinda inconvenient sometimes :)

Healthy and Normal

In the midst of all the sickness going around last week, (add an ear infection to Andi's problems last week too) Calli had her "well-child" appointment. Her stats:

Height: 33.75 inches (50 percentile)

Weight: 24 lbs (20 percentile)

She is perfect for her growth chart, she has always been a little smaller. We are just suppossed to make sure she is drinking 3 glasses of milk a day, which we had been slacking on. I know it is very important but seriously the kid asks for "wa-wa" ALL THE TIME!! She prefers water to milk and i figured it cant really hurt so she was drinking 1 good glass of milk a day plus her vitamins, etc. Ooops, oh well! Other than that she is doing great!

the last few days...

We are tired! Dan and I that is. We have been dealing with Calli battling an ear infection and cold, and Andi is getting her bottom 2 teeth and had roseolla (fever for 3 days and a rash). The gilrs have been taking baths everynight to help with congestion/fever. Needless to say we have been up all hours of the night with both kids with the longest periods of sleep involving one kid in bed with us. On Sunday night Calli ended up sleeping with Dan from 4am til he went to work, and stayed there until 9am. I just landed in Calli's bed in between getting up with Andi every 2 hours. Last night Calli went to sleep and stayed asleep around midnight, and Andi didn't conk out for longer than 2 hours usually about 30 minutes. Yes I know we have it coming to us because both girls have typically been great sleepers, I feel awful for people who have to deal with this all the time!!

We have a 2 year old!!

Yes I am late posting this but our girl Calli is now 2!! That is officially not a baby anymore by any stretch of the imagination. She is so funny these days. She tells us exactly what she wants, asks where the baby is if Andi isn't around, loves to play outside and ride her bike (which she just sits on it), LOVES the big purple dinosaur named Barney and his green friend Baby Bop. She makes us laugh so much. She talks pretty clearly most of the time but every now and then she talks a mile a minute and we can only make out a few words.

She got the really cool tent from my parents for her bday and she loves it and brings her backpack and cup and plate in to enjoy her imaginary snack.
