Cali is 6 months old!

Cali is 6 months old now, she weighs 16lbs 10Oz's and is 25.5 inches long. Cali is learning how to sit on her own now and is making lots of baa baa baa noises and chatters quite a lot! She loves to eat and is very interested in grabbing everything she sees and shoving it in her mouth, her arms have gotten so long, she can reach too far now! Our first summer has been great with Cali, we have made lots of day trips to fun place and gone camping a few times. Cali is very good at adapting to her surroundings, she takes change very well and is happy pretty much all of the time! (even when I wake her up before she is ready) We just got back from a trip to the island to see Katie and Ian. We had a wonderful time and it was so fun to see Katie look so pregnant, her pictures on her blog don't due her belly justice! Cali and I have some fun things planned for September, we are going to start swimming/floating lessons and the Mom's group we go to should start again too. There are so many things to look forward to with a baby, everything is new again, seeing it through Cali's eyes!!

Cali is 5 months old!

Cali will be 5 months old on Saturday. She has done so many new things this past week that I want to make sure I write it all down. Cali has figured out how to find her soother and put it in her own mouth which is really exciting to see, she has been practicing that for a long time now. She has been trying really hard to sit up for the past week, she hunches her top half and bottom half at the same time. When I give her a little help by lifting her up with her hands she just pops right up onto her feet, it's so amazing to see! Today for the first time Cali rolled over from her back to her stomach which really surprised her and she cried but it was really neat! I have started feeding Cali some rice cereal and it only took her 3 days to get the hang of eating with a spoon, she is doing so well and we can really tell that she is interested in trying lots of new foods. She had sweet potatoes today and she seemed to like it! Cali never stops amazing me with all the new things she is learning, she is such a special little girl! :)

Cali is 20 weeks old!

Cali is 20 weeks old today! I think I'm going to start going by the months now, so she is 4.5 months old. She weighs 14lbs 11Oz's now which is a little less then last time she was weighed. Cali is just kicking up a storm now and she really likes her jolly jumper too! She likes to think that everyone who is holding her is a jolly jumper and bounces up and down, it's pretty cute. Cali and I have been doing lots of day trips to visit people lately, she is such an easy going baby and fun to take everywhere! Cali is seeming to take an interest in what I am eating for the past few days, she watches very closely and moves her tongue. I think she's getting ready to eat some real food! I have been having so much fun dressing my little baby in all her little summer outfits that she has, it's funny because when I got them as gifts I could never imagine them fitting her, she is just growing so fast!

Cali is 18 weeks old!

Cali is 18 weeks old today! She just had her 4 month checkup with the doctor and she weighs 14lbs 3.5Oz's. The doctor says that she has had a big growth spurt since she was seen last at 2 months, I think she's going to be a tall girl! Cali is trying her hardest to sit up right now, she likes to sit upright and she also likes to stand on her feet. She has found her right ear and keeps tugging at it lately, I don't know why but it probably hurts! Cali has become such a happy, content baby, she likes to smile at any new face she sees and is quite comfortable being held by other people. We went on Cali's second camping trip on the weekend and she was a perfect angel! We are so happy that she likes coming different places with us and adapts well to change.

Cali is 16 weeks old!

Cali was 16 weeks old on Tuesday! We are having so much fun with Cali as she gets older day by day. Cali has giggled twice now and it is so cute, I can't wait to see her laugh more. She is trying to sit up a lot lately especially when I put her in her car seat, she hunches forward and makes it hard to get her belts on. Cali caught a cold this week and has been coughing a lot, hopefully she feels better soon! Even though she is sick she is still smiling, she's such a smiley happy little girl!

Cali is 15 weeks old!

Cali is 15 weeks old now! We have had a busy week this past week, lots of travelling around. It was Dad and Lilah's birthday on May 31st and Katie's birthday on June 1st, then it was Greg's and my 1st year wedding anniversary. Most of us made it to Dad's in Kamloops for a big birthday bash. We had a great time up there, it's such a beautiful house! Cali did really well with the car rides to and from Dad's, she just slept the whole time. On Monday Greg surprised me with an anniversary dinner in Vancouver at the revolving restaurant. What a beautiful view of the city and the water. We had a great meal and tried some new drinks and appy's, it was all really good!
