Callie rolled over!

Callie learned something new this week! She is now officially rolling over. I knew that she was getting close because she could get from her back to her side pretty easily. Well, I had been working on rolling over with Callie, just showing her how to do it, and I thought she was getting pretty good at it. When Matt got home from work I wanted to show him how she could "almost" roll over. (She was about 3/4 of the way there). Well as Callie was showing daddy how she can "almost" roll over, she just went ahead and did it! Matt and I looked at each other like, did that just happen?? Then she kept on doing it like three or four more times! I thought that it was pretty cool that both Mommy and Daddy got to see her roll over for the first time. Now that she knows how to roll over from her back to her tummy, that's all she wants to do. As soon as I put her down, she immediately rolls over. This would be great if she actually liked to be on her tummy, but she doesn't! She still hasn't mastered going from tummy to back... well at least that's what I thought.... Last night there was a spouse social that I decided to go to. Matt was home and could help me put Callie to bed so that I could go. Well Daddy and Callie were playing for about 30 minutes after I left and what do you think Callie did?? She rolled all the way over! First from her back to tummy, like she had been doing, and then from her tummy to her back! I thought that this was a little ironic... seeing as I have only been away from Callie 4 or 5 times! So I missed that one, but I'm sure she'll do it again soon! :) Today is October 13th, so that means that in two days my sweet little baby will be 4 months old! I just can't believe it! I think that this last month has been so much fun~ she has changed so much! Well here are a few pictures from this morning! Hope you enjoy them! I'll post again soon with her 4 month update! :) Love to you all!

My little sweet girl! Just rolled on to her tummy!

She looks a little proud of herself! Just woke up from a nap! :)

Chile wanted his picture taken too!!!

Callie in her cute outfit that her Grammie bought her! :)

Look how much I'm growing!!!

Callie says "I love you"!

Good to be Home!

Well Callie and I had such a great visit to Texas, but it sure is nice to be home. Chile is happy to have me home too! Matt told me that Chile was acting up the whole time I was gone! Poor thing! Callie did great on the plane both times! I was so happy about that. Callie just looked around, babbled a little and slept for the whole flight. Everyone around us was pleasantly surprised I think! Well Matt was so happy to see us at the airport. He couldn't believe how much Callie had changed. One thing that he noticed right off the bat was how much she was talking. While I was standing at baggage claim, Callie was trying to see how long she could make a sound without taking a breath, then she would take a quick breath and start over. It was actually quite loud. Everyone around us thought it was hilarious and just laughed. :) Daddy also noticed that Callie has lots of new "tricks". She can purposefully grab for toys now, hold her head up really well on her tummy, and stand, stand, stand. Callie loves to stand up. I have a feeling that we are going to have an early walker around here! She can stand for several minutes while we hold her arms. I also think that she is close to rolling from her back to her tummy. She can roll on her side, but then rolls back on her back. If i put her on her side she can roll on her tummy, so I figure it will only be a matter of time before she puts the two together. I can't believe how much she is learning and changing! She is absolutely loving books right now. She looks at the pages, grabs at the pages and smiles when I read to her. Books will definitely be on Callie's Christmas list this year! Well here are some pictures from this week! Oh and wish me luck, I will be teaching Callie how to take naps in her crib instead of the swing next week! We will see how that goes!! I have a feeling that she will protest.... Love you all!

This is Callie and her friend Gianna! There were born a week apart! It looks like they are trying to hold hands! How sweet!

One more of Callie and Gianna! :)

Little miss in her sweet little outfit that her Great-Aunt Blynda sent her! :) All smiles for this little girl... well at least for the moment!

Birds eye view!

Hello from Callie!!!

What a sweet little girlie!

Texas Trip Again!

Well, we took some more pictures today so I just had to post them! Callie and I are enjoying the beautiful weather today. She is currently swinging in her swing on my parents' front porch. She and her PaPaw are both taking naps outside! I'm just sitting out here supervising! haha. Well here are some new pictures that I took today. My baby is growing up so fast! Loving every minute of it though. :)

Callie and her Great-Papa. Aren't they sweet?

I think Callie's Great-Granny is quite proud! :) Aw! What a great picture of all three of them!!

I caught a picture of Great-Granny talking to Callie!

Callie enjoying some time on the floor (she hasn't had much the last few days)! :) Poor thing, she just doesn't get enough attention! haha

4 generations!

:) Love this one! Granny is laughing about something!

Precious!

Callie sure does love her Great-Papa! What a priceless pic!

Trip To Texas

Callie and I have really enjoyed our trip so far! Callie did great on the plane ride here, so I was very excited about that. Pray and keep your fingers crossed that it goes as well on the way back! :) Callie has met more people than she had previously seen in her whole life! Callie has met her Aunt Lindsay (Matt's sister) for the first time. They loved each other! Callie also got to meet her Great Granny and Great PaPa, her Great MeMaw and Great PaPa, and her Great Grandma and Great Grandpa! They all had such a great time. I thought it was pretty cool that she got to meet so many of her family members all in one weekend. I also took Callie over to Monday Night Football in my parents neighborhood so that everyone there could see her. She also met her Great Aunt Blynda and Great Uncle Doug. Even her 2nd cousin Jordan came down from Tyler to see her. I told Jordan he can be an "Uncle" to her. :) Debbie took Monday off so that Callie and I could go over there for the day. We had such a great time, and I think Debbie loved spending the day with Callie! I cant even begin to list all of the people that she has met over the past week. That little girl has not been put down once (except for her little naps)! Callie has been adjusting so well to this new environment. She is sleeping like a champ at night just like she does at home. I'm so proud of her! Even though we are having a great time here, we are missing Daddy! It will be good so see him on Saturday. Well here are some pictures from the week so far! I'm sure there will be more!

Callie's Exersaucer!

Well, I was lucky enough to have a friend in the area who has an exersaucer that she used for her daughter and offered to let me borrow it! Yay! Matt and I put it together and let Callie give it a try. She is still pretty small for it, but we just put some blankets around her to help keep her steady. But she keeps her head up pretty well in it so that is good! She really likes the little frog for some reason. I just watched her stare at it for about 15 minutes. I thought that was too funny. She preferred the frog over the light up piano keyboard that plays music. Funny how sometimes kids just like the simple toys! I remember the babies in the daycares I worked at were the same way. They preferred the old school toys to the fancy light up ones. Another first for Callie happened today. She actually took a nap on the floor, and not in her swing. Callie loves her swing, and refuses to sleep anywhere else during the day. But for some reason today she changed her mind! I was happy about that, but just to be safe I am still going to borrow a swing from our good friends Phil and Michelle when we come to Texas for a visit. I'm not sure that she would be very happy without it! I know I go crazy with posting Callie pictures, but I just cant resist! I also caught her holding her head up during tummy time! She is getting better and better with holding her head up while on her tummy, but she still just lays her head down most of the time! Hope you enjoy the pictures of sweet Callie!

Callie and Mommy!

Look how cute she is in her little ballerina pj's! Here is the picture I got with her holding her head up!

Sleeping on the floor! All tuckered out!

Sweet little girl, napping in her swing. :) All smiles!

Just relaxin'.

Here she is, staring at the frog!

She hit it with her hand and then she was really interested!

She really likes it!

Again, with the frog!
