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! :)
