January Mobile Moments

Continuing on with the Mobile Moments for 2015...


I made a really YUMMY chicken and tortellini salad.

What?

My little sunbeams first week in Primary.
He loves it!!

Didn't take long for her to learn how to stand up in her crib.

Now she can't stop standing up on everything!

He made his own little movie lounge.

Hey Mom!  This is so fun pulling out all the Kleenexes!

Had to clear out all my magazines from this little shelf.

Starting up with a few hairdos... it's actually really hard.
I typically only every do a little pony on top or pigtails.

Heater vents make the best music.

Bathtime baby.

My day ins't complete with out feeling these cute little hands
pulling herself to standing on me.

Nice hair kiddo!

Primary PJ Pancake Breakfast.

She loves all the new things she is discovering.

Cruising.

This is Callie's little nook.

We went to the farm show.  They had mini horse pulling.

Love the hairdo.

She will be using it for walking before you know it.

For she knew it was a new toy.  I was really something
to keep her occupied so I could finish dinner.

Then of course Andrew felt left out so her made his
very own percussion set.

Taco meat, Mom?

My eye was hurting.  I was making sure I didn't have pink eye.


One of her favorite places to be.

She can't wait for daddy's chocolate!

New 12 months outfit!

New shoes. She couldn't keep them out of her mouth.

Happy friends.

I think I am loving dark green on me.

Brother watching.

I figured out my own way to get him to eat beans....
he's a boy--- it didn't take long.

Love the pigtails!

More brother watching!

Sledding at preschool.

Love this!

He is getting more involved with helping me do little things
around the house.  He loves sweeping up Callie's cheerios and puffs!

Mom!  This looks fun!

Library computer stories.

Andrew insisted on getting his scriptures when we were doing
family scripture study.

New 'home' picture.

Pancakes! She's getting better at trying finger food.

So cute!

And there is the Baldwin toe!

She has discovered the next level.  She is now
discovering things off the floor!  Ahh!

Mama! Yep she knows me for sure!

CR 8 Months

Well look at who just turned 8 months old. 



Time is going by quickly.  I know that I shouldn't compare... but who doesn't a little. Callie has learned each thing a little later than Andrew did. But, since Christmas I have watched Callie TAKE OFF! She learned how to do all kinds of things all at once it seems. Crawl, talk (babbling baba and mama), pull herself up on things.  Wow! I am really impressed and proud of her.  As I looked at pictures of Andrew today I realized she has pretty much caught up to what he was doing at this age.

Here is one of Andrew that never made it to the blog, for some odd reason....



I think that when she is going through one of these developmental, learning everything at once stages, she has some sleep regression issues.  In turn I feel pretty frustrated and like a crummy mom because I can't figure out what she needs. All she wants is to nurse, she never sleeps well, and we both cry a lot. I never had these kind of sleep issues with Andrew, so Callie is helping me become a more experienced, seasoned mom.  Thanks kido.
No problem, Mom.


For such a petite little girl, this girl has a pretty spunky personality. She is always wiggling and on the go. She likes to tell us "what for" already too.  But her smiles are incredible and we can't get enough of them.

Teeth?  Nope, none in sight!
Clothes:  6-12 Months & 9 Months-- But she is almost ready for 12 Month Clothes.
Eating: I've been trying to get her to eat food from the table more this week, and she humors me but she isn't totally in love with it after the first few bites. She hasn't ever devoured her food. She better be careful or she will loose her chunky rolls I am in love with. Actually it was funny, the other day we had mashed potatoes for dinner and Callie seemed to really like it!  She must be like me, they are my favorite food. 
We will keep trying and she will get it. She dreams of eating this stuff though.
Mmmm, chocolate.

 She is an excellent crawler now, and even likes to go exploring by herself.

She just started getting really good at pulling herself up on things and cruising this week.  She loves it.  She also likes to pull her self up on my pant legs while I'm making dinner.  She really loves her mama.

She is liking this toy too, and when Andrew will let her play with it, is getting a hang of pulling herself up and taking a few steps.
I can't believe how fast she is growing up!  Love  you baby girl!
