Rodeo Time!!

On Friday Calli had her 2nd set of tubes put in her ears & her adenoids removed. She did well with the procedure but had a rough time in recovery & was pretty grumpy all day. She even got up in the middle of the night Fri night for about an hour. (which she only does if something is wrong) By Sat morning she was back to her usual happy self. So we decided to go ahead & go to the rodeo parade in Downtown Houston. She had such a good time waving at the floats, dancing to the bands & watching the horses go by. About an hour into it though she did fall asleep. She must have been worn out. It was a little chilly in the shade but when we got some sun it felt great. What a beautiful day for a parade.

Sleepover

Last night we kept my brother's kids so he & his wife could go out & celebrate their 15 year anniversary. Noah, Megan, Kayleigh & Danni came to spend the night. They were teaching her the song "The Wheels on the Bus" & Calli was mimicking their motions. It was so funny so I grabbed the video camera & they performed for Roman when he got home. How quickly she is learning from them!!

Ready...Set...GO!!!!

Calli loves chasing people around. Roman grabbed the camera & started backing away from her & she took off. I found these "squeaky" shoes at Christmas time & was hesistant about getting them. Cindy & Carol (Roman's sisters) finally convinced me & I am glad I did. They are so adorable & Calli gets a kick out of them everytime she wears them.

Our baby is 18 months!!

Today I took Calli for her 18 month checkup. She is doing very well. She knows roughly 15 words that she speaks on a regular basis & her fine motor skills are moving along. Calli mimics adult behavior & makes us laugh so much!! What a joy she brings to our lives.

Her measurements are 26 lbs 15oz (83 percentile) 32" long (61%) & 18-3/4" head circumference (80%). She is a healthy little girl which is all we have ever prayed for!!

Over the last few months her interest in books has grown so much. She loves crawling into our laps so we can read to her. She also "reads" to herself.

Zoo Fun

Roman was out of town this past weekend so Calli & I decided to hit the zoo. I was worried about it being too cold but it ended up be a beautiful day. I am really glad we went. She seemed to enjoy it more this time than the last couple of times we went. We will definitely renew our membership again this year.

Petting the goat.


Loved the flamingos. Watched them for a long time.

Peering down to watch the monkeys.

This monkey would move every time she moved. He was very interactive!!
