A New Addition to our Family!

Tim and I are so excited to finallly make our big announcement! We will be adding a new little addition to our family this July! We found out that I am pregnant the day before Halloween! I was only 3 weeks and 4 days, so we have been waiting quite awhile to tell everyone! I had a few scares very early in the pregnancy, but we had our first official prenatal appointment a couple of weeks ago and the doctor said that everything looks great! We had an ultrasound and got the see the little baby moving around and its little heart beating! :) I am now about 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant! So far this pregnancy has been a little different from when I was pregnant with Calla! As for morning sickness, the doctor pretty much prescribed me Zofran immediately after I started throwing up so I wouldn't have to go get IV's and such, but with this one I am very nauseous even with the medicine, but I don't throw up as much. Smells are also a terrible thing this pregnancy, I can hardly change a diaper or do the dishes without gagging. I also already look pretty huge haha (well showing wise) so that's pretty awesome, althrough I have yet to gain any weight! We are very excited to meet this little baby and for Calla to be a big sister! My official due date is July 11, 2012 :)

Calla's 1 year well child checkup/1st Birthday!

I can't believe Calla is officially a toddler now! She had her well child check up yesterday and the doctor said that she looks great! Here are her stats: weight: 18 pounds 4 ounces (10th percentile) height: 29.5 inches (60th percentile) Head: I have no idea, but about the 60th-75th percentile :) The doctor said she is right on track, and said her throwing small temper tantrums is just fine, we just have to make sure we handle them properly :) (aka, not giving into what she wants!) We are also introducing her slowly to whole cow's milk by mixing it into her formula, so far that is working! She is now standing up on everything and cruising, so not too long until she walks! She is also getting brave enough to stand up all by herself without holding onto anything! She sleeps about 10-12 hours at night and takes a 2 hour nap during the day. It is awesome :) She is also eating anything and everything haha :) She also just celebrated her first birthday on December 1st! We had a party with Tim's family and my parents and Elise were watching haha via skype and facetime :) We went to Mcdonald's for dinner and got her her very own happy meal! She liked it, but I think she liked the toy better haha

Then we came back to our condo and had cake, which I made! It was a giant cupcake cake :)

She loves cake! Well the frosting especially! She exceeded our expectations of awesomeness when it came to eating cake... she dove her face right into it! My mom and dad got to sing happy birthday to her through the computer and Ipad (my mom is in Michigan helping out after Elise had the baby and dad is in Katy!) with everyone else! It was fun for them to be a part of it! Then Tim and I gave Calla a bath and then she opened her presents! (well... we opened her presents while she played with the bows and the paper :)) Then she went to bed! I think she had an awesome first birthday!

Calla's First Halloween!

This post is a little late... but here is all about Calla's first Halloween! Calla and I spent the day together doing our normal stuff like running errands and cleaning up the condo. We headed over to Tim's paren'ts house for dinner around 5 o'clock. Tim had to work, so he didn't get there until a little bit later. We had some dinner and I got Calla all dressed up in her costume. She was dressed up as Rapunzel! We got her costume from the Disney store, it was so cute! She didn't have the long hair, but she had a little purple puff bow. She looked adorable! I don't have any pictures up yet, because Tim's brother Alex took the pictures on his camera because I didn't have ours. So once I get the pictures from him I will post them! Once Tim got there, we finally got to go trick-or-treating! Grandpa Pranger came with us! We just went around their little coldasac plus a couple of more houses. It was really fun! Calla was really tired though, because by this time it was already like 8 at night. Everyone thought she was adorable anyways! haha It was so much fun and we got some awesome candy haha :) I mean Calla got some awesome candy... :) It was a great first Halloween for her! Pictures to come soon! :)

In other news, Tim got a job for the winter! Yay :)

Family Update!

Here is what has been going on with us lately! I will start with Tim :) Last week Tim was working really hard to practice and get prepared to take the PAT (Players Ability Test). Now, I'm not very good at explaining what it means but... basically if you pass the PAT you get to become a registered member of the PGA (Proffesional Golf Association). You have to shoot less than +7 over par over the course of 36 holes. (that's 2 rounds of 18 holes played back to back!) Tim was able to shoot +1 over par total, which means he passed!! Calla and I are so proud of him! :) Other than that he is spending his time working at the golf course, teaching lessons, going to school, and spending time with Calla and I. As for me, I have been going to school, which is so hard this semester. All I want to do is stay home with Calla and take care of her, which I basically do, but going to class is so hard! I only have one class on campus (biology). I spend most of my time cleaning, cooking, and of course taking care of Calla! It is such a fun job and I love being a mom! Last, but definitely not least, we have Calla! Calla has developed in so many ways since the last time I posted a family update! She will be 11 months old on November 1st. I cannot believe how old she is already. It is so wierd to think that this time last year she was in my belly and I was huge just wanting her to come out already so we could meet her! And now she is almost a year old! I think we will be spending her first birthday with Tim's family. I have decided to make a giant cupcake cake with mini cupcakes around it. I might even put icecream in the big cupcake! We will find out if I am talented enough for this haha. Some milestones that she has hit in the past few months are: crawling at around 9 and a half months, she got her two bottom teeth some time in the middle of August, she is now getting her two front top teeth, she is eating basically everything we eat now (besides straight up cow's milk), she is trying to pull up on things and stand up, she says mama and dada all of the time, she learned how to click her tongue, and she shakes her head no all of the time! You ask her any question and she will shake her head no at you! As you can see, she has been busy! On a not so positive note, she had a phase where she just wouldn't sleep through the night. It was after she started crawling... she just really wanted out of her crib! She often times falls asleep now curled up in the corner either on her side or on her knees... it's so cute! She has just now started to sleep through the night again... thank goodnesss! Last night was a very good night for her, she is actually still asleep now! We love Calla so much and love to see her grow in different ways everyday! in family news, we will be going down to Katy for Christmas this year! We are so excited! Right before that my sister, Elise will be having her second baby! Their baby could possibly be born on Calla's birthday! That would be pretty crazy, but I am predicting baby will come earlier than her birthday :) We also go our family pictures taken a couple of weeks ago, which I'm sure you have seen on my Facebook! Well that is it for now! :) The next post will most likely be about our Halloween fun! :)

Calla Crawling!

Calla can finally crawl! She has been trying so hard to figure it out for the past few months and she finally figured it out :) All I had to do was make myself a grilled cheese sandwich and eat it sitting on the floor with her. She just crawled right too it! It was so fun to see her first time crawling, I wish Tim had been there to see it too! Tim had lessons all day, so he rushed home in between his last two lessons before she went to bed to see her crawl :) We are very proud of her! Here are a couple of videos of her crawling :)

 

 

Calla loves water!

Tim had the day off today, so we decided to take Calla to the Lindon pool to play in the water. We had never been there before and it turned out to be an awesome pool with a lazy river and tons of little kiddie pools! Calla had so much fun, and she definitely loves water. Maybe she will be a swimmer some day! :) Here is a video of her in the pool :) (sorry for the poor qualtiy, we did this on Tim's phone and blogger apparenltly does not like that haha!)

Calla loves to play with daddy at the pool! :)

Mommy and Calla! You can see some red in her hair from the sun! She wanted to look at everyone playing in the water, so we got her to look at the camera for a second haha.

Playing on the table with her towel! (Yes, we were ready to catch her if she chose to roll off the edge haha)

Calla playing in her bouncy toy!

Enjoy a cute little video of Calla! She is getting so big!

Calla's First Time Swimming/ The 4th of July!

Calla went swimming for the first time a few weeks ago. We wanted to take her to our condo community pool, but it is so crowded all of the time! We ended up taking her to Tim's parents super awesome indoor pool! She wasn't sure what to think. She didn't cry or anything, but was just kind of nonchalant. Although we have taken her a few more times since then and she LOVES it! She is definitely a baby that loves water. Daddy and Grandpa Pranger love to take her in the pool :) Here are some pictures from her first adventure in the pool :)

Calla with Grandma Pranger!

First time touching the pool water!

Mommy and Calla :)

Daddy and Calla :) 

Our little family in the pool :)

The 4th of July was also a great day! Tim of course had to work until late at night, so Calla and I went over to his family's house and spent the day with them. Grandma Pranger has been so nice and got some things for me to make Calla's scrapbook! She also is helping me make it. I like her input :) We went to the Country club to meet up with Grandpa Pranger, Uncle Alex and Uncle Eric for lunch. It was fun :) Once daddy came to the house, we got to set off some fireworks. Calla did not like them one bit. Although, it was WAYYYY past her bed time, so she was very tired. Grandma Pranger, Calla and I watched the fireworks from inside, which was okay because I'm a little scared of them haha :) The day was great and I'm glad we got to spend her first 4th of July with family :) Here are some pictures from the day! I will post more on Facebook as well!  

Mommy and Calla :)

Uncle Eric got Calla a cute pink inflatable baseball bat!

In the middle of screeching :) She loves her bat!

Grandpa Pranger and Calla!

Uncle Alex and Uncle Eric played with Calla for a long time! She loved it :)

Kitchen sink bath!

A very sunburndt daddy with Calla :)

Calla's 6-month Well Baby Checkup!

Calla had her 6-month well baby checkup yesterday. She did great! He did a few little things to see if she was able to them, like hold out a tongue depresser and see if she would grab it, put it in her mouth, and put it in the other hand. She passed with flying colors! Here are her current stats: weight: 14 lbs. 12 ounces (25th percentile); height 26.2 inches (60th percentile); and head circ. 17 inches (50-60th percentile). She also got her round of shots, she was upset before the nurse even started! I think she knows that table by now and cries instantly when placed on it. She is always very happy for the doctor though, so that is good! The doctor said that we can now start mashing up what we eat and let her try it! We are pretty excited about that seeing as she is always sticking her hand in our food and trying to eat it! Her next appointment is at 9 months, but the doctor is already booked until the middle of September, so it will have to be when she is 10 and a half months! She doesn't have to get shots at that one, thankfully, just a checkup! I can't believe she is already 6 months old! Time is flying by. I miss how little she was, but I love the stage of life she is in now. She is always giggling, smiling, babbling, and playing and I love it! It's so fun to watch her develop into a little girl with a fun personalitly :)
I have also started using cloth diapers. I know, you make think I am crazy haha. I started researching them to see how much money we would actually save. It is quite a bit! You have to spend some money up front to get your stash going, but over a couple of years, you save a lot of money. I use the Charlie Banana cloth diapers. They are the pocket diaper, so you have inserts that go in them. They have washable inserts, which I use on a daily basis, but they also have disposable ones for when you are out and about. The disposable work well for babysitting, I don't think Tim's parents mind :) haha. They work really well and are not that hard to wash them and all that good stuff! They are much softer on Calla's little bummy and she seems to be okay with them as well! (I think she could really care less what kind of diaper she is wearing at this age!) I would reccommend cloth diapering to anyone who wants to save money or be good for the environment! The one thing I have noticed, is that you can't let them sit for even a couple of days between washes, because they start to hold the smell of pee, so you have to wash 1 load everyday, not that hard. I love them and thought I should share! :)

6-month old Calla!

Calla is now 6 months old and becoming super curious and energetic. She laughs a lot and is constantly babbling. She is so cute! Here are a couple of videos of her babbling and giggling!

Here she is sitting by herself!

 And falling over... but still smiling!

 And again with no pants!

Something else Calla has gotten really good at is sitting by herself! She can do it for a really long time and has good balance, you just have to sit by her because she randomly falls over haha! She is so much fun and we can tell she just wants to crawl so badly! She rolls a lot now and and can lift her chest up off of the floor when on her tummy. She has her 6 month well baby check up this month so I will put up her numbers when we get them!

Tim has been very busy lately with work and teaching golf lessons! He has a lot of students now. He works so hard and I am so proud of him, he is such a good provider for our family. I am loving staying home with Calla. She keeps me busy that's for sure! We just hang out, play, eat and sleep haha :) And of course change diapers! I have started using cloth diapers, which I surprisingly LOVE! I will write a post about them soon :) The three of us also got to go to Idaho for our nephew, Mathew's blessing. It was so much fun to see everyone! We miss everyone so much already!  Calla misses everyone, she loved all of the attention :) We hope we can come to Texas this summer! We also just moved into our new condo in Pleasant Grove. We love it! It is so nice and big :) Pictures to come a little later :) I must go do the dishes now, but I will write more updates later!

  

Calla's First Easter!

This Easter was Calla's very first Easter! I think she had a very good one! We started the morning with homemade cinnamon rolls, pigs in a blanket, and fresh cut up pineapple. We had to eat at 6 in the morning because Tim had to go to work from 7-12.

Calla was asleep while we ate breakfast.

After Tim got home we skyped for a little bit with Grandma and Grandpa Peterson and Great Grandma Mega. It was fun to talk to them! We then took some pictures all dressed up in our Easter clothes (well Calla in her Easter clothes :))

We then went to church. Calla was just babbling away during relief society. You would think she was trying to teach the lesson! During Sacrament meeting she did the same thing. She is a funny little girl :) We left church a little early so we could make it to Tim's parent's house in time for dinner. But before that we had to give Calla her Easter basket!

Yes, she is only 5 months old, but it was more for me to have fun! She does like her stuffed animal though! I have a video of us showing her her basket from the Easter Bunny, but I can't get it to load. I will post it probably tomorrow :) There was a lot of family there which was fun and made for a great Easter! We fed Calla then put her straight to bed, she was exhausted from all of the attention! So I think Calla had a pretty great first Easter!  

In other news, Tim and I have found us a place to live! We found a pretty new condo in Pleasant Grove to rent out. It is 3 bed 2 bath and 1200 square feet! It also has an awesome kitchen and master bath! We are moving in on May 10th! Yay! :)

I will be posting some videos of Calla hopefully tomorrow! She has been laughing all morning and we got a little glimpse of it on camera!

Calla's first solid foods/4 month well baby checkup!

Calla had her 4 month well-baby check up yesterday. The doctor said she looks really good! She weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces now which puts her in the 25th percentile. She is 24 and a half inches long, which puts her in the 70th percentile, and her head is in the 50th percentile! It was a very interesting appointment, seeing as when we got there she had a HUGE blowout of poo in her diaper, add that to her being asleep when we got there and that makes her a very unhappy baby to be at the doctor. She also got her second round of shots :(. Poor baby! At least she was happy for the actual doctor. He said she is a very curious and active baby, which is good. He also thinks she has started to develop a little bit of stranger awareness early, which isn't bad, but will be a little bit difficult! Overall she is doing very well. She sleeps through the night (about 10 hours a night), and is a happy little girl! She will have her next appointment at 6 months. I can't believe she's already getting to that point!

In other news, the doctor told us to go ahead and try giving her some solid baby food. He said that he thinks she will take to it pretty quickly and he was right! Here is a video of her eating some sweet potatoes (we tried some peas and she did not like them at all, but she loves the sweet potatoes!) 

Yay sweet potatoes!

Messy girl!

Trying to suck on her arm... :)

Meet the Great Grandparents!

Last night Calla got to meet her great grandma and grandpa Peterson! It was such a treat! We visited for a little bit, and Calla was all smiles :). Then we went to dinner! It was a great night! :)

In other news, Calla has also started rolling over from tummy to back! It is so fun to watch her roll and look at me like now what mom? Things have been pretty crazy lately with Tim starting full time at the Ranches and Thanksgiving Point and still going to school. Calla and I just stay home, run errands and have some fun! Calla is also starting to get a little tooth! (I think...) haha, it is hard to tell, but something white is starting to barely break through her gums on the bottom and she is very very drooly, so I think so! Calla is a little over 12 pounds now and she has her 4 month well baby check-up next Monday, so we will get some more of growth numbers! She is also sleeping about 10 hours in a row at night, it is wonderful! If she doesn't sleep through the night, she will only wake up once. She is a pretty content little girl, most of the time... haha. Nothing new is really going on with Tim and I, Tim is just busy busy busy!

Tim got a cute picture of Calla in his hat, here it is!  

Family Update!

I figured it was time for a little update on what our little family has been up to lately! Tim has been about the same since my last update, but with a few new excitements. He was recently put on Callaway Staff. Basically what this means is he gets a lot of free Callaway products for free just to use them to promote the brand Callaway. It is like having a sponsor without getting paid haha. Apparently this is a very big deal and I am so excited for him! We also figured out he just has 3 more semesters until he graduates, yay! He will also be starting his new job this week as the Assistant Pro for the Ranches, which he will become even more busy than he is now! As for me, I am about the same. I stay home and watch the little munchkin. I can't complain though, it is an awesome job :). I have also decided to switch my major from teaching to nursing. Big change, I know haha. I just haven't been into the whole teaching thing lately and have started to become very interested in nursing, so hopefully everything will work out and I can get into the program. Thankfully I haven't declared my major yet! I have also been sick, so that is no fun, but thankfully Calla and Tim have not gotten it yet, and hopefully won't! There is a lot to update on Calla! She is growing and changing everyday. She is just over 11 pounds and 3 and a half months old (15 weeks tomorrow). I have also been starting her on a bottle or two of formula a day. It has been a lot easier, and she gets a nice big bottle at night before she goes to sleep. I am still breastfeeding the majority of the time though. She seems to really like formula though, so that is good :). haha. We have started her on a new nightly routine. We get her in her pajamas around 9, feed her a bottle around 9:15 and then read her a story from her new Disney Princess bedtime stories book. After that we put her straight to bed no matter if she is awake or not, and she goes right to sleep. She doesn't even cry anymore when we put her in the crib! She sleeps pretty well at night, sometimes as much as 8-10 hours in a row, and others about 4. Developmentally, she is getting pretty good at holding her head up. She still doesn't use her arms much, she prefers to do the super baby. haha. She also has really been into playing with her hands lately and is getting much better control over holding on to things and grabbing things. She almost put her paci in all by herself the other day! She is also laughing more, making more new noises and getting very close to rolling over! She also loves to stand. Her favorite is if you hold her hands and let her stand on the ground or on your legs. She has very strong legs! And one last thing, she is getting more and more hair! It's very light so it is still hard to see in pictures and videos, but in the sun her eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair are red! As a family, we are thinking about buying a house. If we find one that we just love, we will probably go for it! We will be moving to the Lehi, Eagle Mountain area so Tim can be closer to work. We are very excited!

Here is a video of Calla on her Tummy, she was doing a lot more before I started recording. Typical me, I realize I should be recording things way after she has been doing them. But here she is!

Here is her Princess Bedtime Story Book :) It has 19 stories in it!

Calla Laughing!

Ever since my last post Calla has been a bit stubborn and not wanting to laugh, so I couldnt get a good video. Well, today I was sitting in front of her and I turned my head upside down to shake my hair out and she just busted out laughing! So I kept doing it and she was laughing so hard her eyes were watering. By the time I realized I should be recording this she had slowed down a bit and I had to move her for the video, so she was distracted, but here is a little glimpse of her grunty little laugh! (sorry for the shakiness, it's hard to hold a camera and shake your head upside down at the same time :)).

Calla's First Laugh!

So the other day, Wednesday 2/23/11 to be exact, I was playing with Calla and started to kiss her little tummy. Well apparently she is insanely ticklish on her belly, because she started to giggle! I couldn't believe it at first, I thought she was about to cry so I looked at her face and she had the biggest grin I have ever seen her smile! She was just laughing away! It was kind of funny because I expected her laugh to be this little high pitched squeal at first, but her laugh sounded strangely familiar, apparently right now she laughs just like her daddy! (With a girl voice of course :)) She was exactly twelve weeks old that day. I can't believe how much she changes every day! It is so fun to watch her grow and learn how to do new things. She is now in the process of trying to roll herself over, but has definitely not quite mastered that one yet. She is not a huge fan of tummy time, she prefers to stand. She has very strong legs, but not so strong arms (strength in her legs from her daddy, weakness in her arms from her mommy :)). She loves standing and trying to hold herself up. It is hillarious to watch seeing as she's only just about 3 months old, so she just looks so small! She also has enjoyed lately pulling my hair out... it is rather painful, so I think I will take my mom's advice and start wearing my hair in a pony tail. As for her sleeping habits, they are off and on. She will have such a great night one night and sleep in her crib for hours at a time and not want to eat every 3 hours, but than other nights she will want to stay up all night and play, or just not want to sleep in her crib. The second you put her down sometimes she just starts squealing and then will usually be happy and smile when we pick her up. I think Tim and I already have a little drama queen on our hands. :) So anyways, there is a little update on Calla! As soon as we can get her to get a good laugh going again we will post a video for everyone to see! OH YEAH! And her tear duct has finally decided to make its appearance and open up! No more goopey yucky crusty closed eye any more! She has two beautifully opened clear eyes now :).

Here are a few updated pictures of Calla! (You can finally see her hair on top of her head!) YAY!   

Calla at almost 3 months old!  

The day before Valentine's day!

HAIR!! :)

Calla "talking"/Calla's Sneaky Feet!

In the first video, Calla is cooing and making some cute noises :)

In the this video, Calla keeps sneaking her feet onto Tim's hand while he's trying to type! :)

My 21st Birthday :)

I flew home from Boise yesterday, and Tim picked Calla and I up from the airport. When we got in the car there was a Jared's present sitting in my seat! I opened it and it was a beautiful pair of amethyst earrings that matches my bracelet from Christmas.

A few weeks before my birthday, he let me pick out a new purse and wallet too!

Then we got to the apartment and when we walk inside there are 21 balloons hanging up in our apartment that each have a reason why he loves me on them!

Oh yeah! And a bottle of sparkling cider!

After that we walked around the mall and got Mrs. Field's cookies/ cookie cake slices and ordered takeout from Texas Roadhouse, and ordered Life as We Know it on On Demand! I also got to talk to a lot of family which was very nice!It was such a great birthday and it was fun to spend it with Tim and Calla! :) 

Calla's 2 Month Well Baby Check-up!

So Calla had her 2 month check up today! (Although is now 10 weeks old!) She now weighs 10 pounds 5 ounces and is 23 inches long! She is in the 50th percentile for her head circumference and her weight, and the 75th percentile for her length! She also received 4 vaccines today. She didn't mind the liquid drop one, but she screamed pretty good for the other three shots in her thighs! Surprisingly enough though, she calmed down rather fast. Tim and I really did not enjoy watching our poor baby be in so much pain, but she seems to be all better now. She also has been having some pretty bad acid reflux the past few days, but the doctor thinks it will get better soon and doesn't want to try and treat it because he thinks it might go away on its own. Our pediatrician is so nice and sat down and talked to us for a little bit. We definitely got lucky that he happened to be the on-call pediatrician when she was born, and he was happy to have her as one of his patients. So overall her appointment went very well, and Calla is perfect and healthy! Her next appointment isn't until April, thank goodness! :)

Having fun with Calla!

Here are some new pictures of Calla! She is now 9 and a half weeks old and just about 11 pounds! She was really happy and smiley tonight, so I decided it would be the perfect time for some pictures! I thought it would be fun for everyone to see her cute little baby rolls so she is just in her diaper :).

First we have her adorable "I'm so happy" smile :)

Next we have her cute little flirty look :)

This is her sweet smile :)

And last, but not least, we have her close-up model pose :)

I also have a video of her lifting up her head and chest! She is getting so strong. By the way, it looks like she has a unibrow in this video, but it is just a shadow :) haha.

Off to Boise!

This week I am headed to Boise, ID to help Adam and Liz out with Nathan while Liz is on bed rest. It will be my first flight with Calla, and by myself, so I am pretty nervous, but it is a short flight, so I think she will be okay. I am excited to see them and get to spend some time with them again. Tim and I miss having them live so close to us! I leave on Tuesday and come back the following Wednesday. It will be hard to leave Tim, seeing as the longest we have ever been apart over night is one night! And Calla is changing everyday, so we are going to try and skype every night so he can see her and anything new she is doing! Calla will definitely miss her daddy, she is a little daddy's girl! I think Tim will be okay here by himself, he did just get his new golf clubs and I know is just itching to go hit balls all of the time, but is sweet enough to put me and Calla first and spend some time with us. So I am sure this week for him will be full of golf, school, going to work, and getting a week of full nights of sleep again! (enjoy the sleeping while you can, Tim :)). I come back on my birthday! I can't believe I am going to be 21! I am so excited :). I never really thought by the time I was 21 I would be married for a year and a half and have a 2 and a half month old daughter! It is crazy how life works out and I wouldn't have it any other way :). Calla this past week has grown and is about 10 pounds 3 ounces! She is getting so big, it is somewhat sad to see her newborn clothes slowly start to be put away, but exciting to start using all of the 0-3 month clothes! She wears about half newborn clothes and half 0-3 month clothes now and is in size 1 diapers! Speaking of diapers, while Liz was up here at Christmas she suggested trying Luvs diapers because they are cheaper, and I did and I LOVE Luvs diapers. They are the only diapers that Calla does not poo or pee out of! And it's just an added bonus that they are cheaper than Pampers and Huggies! Calla has also been getting better at holding her head up longer, she just needs to learn that her hands and arms can help pull her chest up, but instead she does the airplane and just lifts everything up all at once. It's safe to say her neck is very strong from doing that :). She is learning though, the more tummy time she has the more she is able to figure the whole thing out with her arms. Her legs are already ready to get moving, so I think she is good there :). She is also big on licking everything these days, it is pretty fun to watch haha! A funny thing I have noticed her doing lately is when I hold her in my lap on our bed she is facing this one wall, and there is nothing on the wall it is just white, but when she sits there she looks at that wall every time and she starts smiling so much. She isn't even looking at me while smiling, she is looking at the wall. It is almost like she is flirting with this random spot on the wall. Needless to say, it is hilarious to watch. She is a funny, cute, adorable little girl and I am so lucky to be her mommy! It is 6:30 in the morning and she has finally fallen asleep again after being up for an hour and a half so it is off to bed I go! :)

Cake!

So after talking to Elise about cakes, I decided I wanted to try and make a fondant covered cake. It was insanely messy, but I think it turned out pretty well! Here it is :)

Here is random picture of Calla that I thought was cute :)
