Callie puts pacifier in by herself and more

Here is a video of Callie putting her pacifier in her mouth all by herself! Then a a few pictures of her being cute, including one picture of her standing at the music table toy with help, but still this girl has great desires to stand!!

MUSEUM!

Some friends offered to take DJ to the science museum in Ft Worth for a day... DJ had a BLAST! I told him that he needed to wear his monkey 'backpack' so he put it on and was so excited for them to pick him up. He saw and did many things including 'making' a water fountain. :) For several days after... he kept asking to go to the museum over and over! I need to get a membership to go there!

AUGUST!!

It is so hot here in August! We mostly stay inside playing with friends in the AC! We were so lucky that Grammie came to visit us!! We found Callie's Halloween costume! Can't wait for her to wear it! :) And of course more pool time in August!! :) We also spend time (inside of course) at Chick fil A where DJ got this nice goose egg from falling into the glass window. OUCHY! He was ok and the goose egg went away pretty fast.

Dr Appointments!

This doctor visit was for both kids! DJ's 3 year well child and Callie's 4 month well baby visits.
DJ is 43.6 lbs and 40.5" tall, 97% in both.
Callie 13 lbs 14 oz and 26" tall, 50% in weight and 90% in height.
Luckily, DJ didn't have to get any shots, poor Callie got several. :( It makes me so sad to hear them cry after shots, but I'm greatful for two healthy children!

Callie rolled over for the first time at the doctor's office, but once we got home she wouldn't, but we had fun trying to get her to!

Callie's First Solids!

ALREADY!!!??? I don't think we started DJ on solids until he was 6 months old, but today at Callie's 4 month Dr appointment, the doctor said to start Callie on solids, so we did! Callie LOVED eating!!

Callie's First Ice Cream and Eli's Blessing

I got an ice cream cone at McDonald's on our road trip down to Baby Eli's blessing in San Antonio... and Ms. Callie (just turned 4 months old) grabbed it away from me so fast and had a good grip on it (BY HERSELF!) She screamed when I took it away from her! Sheesh, don't mess with this girl and her ice cream! :)

Here's our family after Eli's blessing. My baby brother is a DAD!! Wierd & AWESOME! :)
Here's DJ leaving our hotel room... SOMEONE got a few Lightening McQueen things for his birthday!

"Happy Bird-Day to ME!"

So our 'little' DJ turned 3 years old this past Saturday, July 30th. I have had so much fun with this little boy... well, he's not so little... he's been wearing 4T clothes for the past several months! He has such a happy, energenic, friendly, loving personality that is so much fun. He said hi to this old man working at the water slide park we go to... asks him. "How you doin'?" As I run after him... PLEASE STAY WITH MOMMY DJ! He has no strangers, which is nice that he is so friendly, but this also means that he is OK to leave me to go explore... fine if you are older... but he just turned 3... so that means he was just barely 2! tee hee. So he wanted Lightening McQueen on his birthday cake again this year... so that is what he got! :) (even though he's had plenty of time-outs to probably lose any birthday party privledges!) This sweet, nice boy... also likes to push/challenge boundaries all the time and is very familiar with the 'Time-Out Corner'! We had a party with a few friends, we watched a movie, played on the slip n slide and a little blow up pool, did a pinata, had pizza and cake. It was fun. DJ LOVES the Happy Birthday song... he sang it to himself and said 'bird-day' instead of birthday. When the candy came falling out of the pinata, the kids had buckets to collect the candy to take home... well all that mattered to DJ was to grab a piece, and he went to the Time-Out corner to sneak a bite... too funny! (I guess you can see that 1. he LOVES candy, 2. I don't let him have it much so he feels he has to sneak it, 3. he doesn't understand the concept of the bucket... because had he collected more candy in the bucket... he would've had more to eat later!) He LOVES CARS... and loved all of his presents! As you can see by the very last picture where he is all decked out with the Lightening McQueen back pack full of cars, the Lightening McQueen roller suit case and Lightening McQueen folding pillow under his arm. :) I LOVE this little boy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DJ!!
