Callie's Baptism-9/12/2010

Callie was baptized on September 12th, 2010 by Pastor Jack Mithelman at Luther Memorial Church. She looked so beautiful in her white dress. She had a beautiful ceremony. She was a doll the entire time. She was all smiles and clapped throughout the service. She didn't cry or fuss once. She was a little angel.

We had a BBQ after her baptism. A little over 20 friends and family showed up to celebrate with lots of food, drinks, and cake! Callie received numerous gifts. A good friend of mine, Jessica, made Callie's baptism cake. She did an amazing job and it tasted as good as it looked! Thank you to everyone who shared Callie's special day with us! We are truly blessed to have our two beautiful, amazing, fun, and loving children. The world wouldn't be the same without them! We are blessed everyday!



 This is Jakobe on his baptism day. It's kind of fun to compare the two. Jakobe was 8 months old and Callie is 11 months old.

Callie is getting better and better walking with her push toy! She'll be walking before we know it!

Callie Got Ear Tubes.

Callie bug has been getting a lot of ear infections lately so it was time to get her tubes, just like her brother. Jakobe also got tubes put in when he was 14 months old. Callie is 11 months old. She got to wear a cute little yellow hospital gown. She looked so adorable. They put her 'tag' on her ankle and she enjoyed playing with it and chewing on it. The procedure took less than 10 minutes and she was in our arms again in the recovery room. When she woke up, she was very fussy, hungry, and confused. We took her home about an hour after surgery. She slept most of that morning. Got up to play a little in the afternoon, then went back to sleep. When she woke up in the evening, she was all smiles and had fun playing with her brother. She's a tough little girl. I'm sure she feels much better not having the pressure in her ears and head. She has a lot of bloody discharge from one ear. The doctor said when he cut into both ears, puss just oozed out. Yuck! We have to give her ear drops 3 times a day for 10 days and a antibiotic 3 times a day for 10 days also. She's back at daycare today and doing great!!!

A Not-So-Fun Weekend for Mommy!

So my mom took me on Friday morning to have my wisdom teeth taken out. She took care of me most of that day. Thanks mom :)

David's parents came for the weekend to help out with the kids, not knowing how I was going to feel. I felt really well Friday and Saturday until I got a dry socket. I spent the rest of the weekend in much pain. Finally on Tuesday morning, I was able to get into the dentist and get it filled. I'm much better now. Jakobe had fun hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa. Callie slept most of the weekend because she was sick with a high temp and ear infection :(

It's Fun To Brush Your Teeth!

Jakobe has been doing awesome with potty training and brushing his teeth. We sing the Yo Gabba Gabba song while he brushes and it makes it fun for him!

A Beautiful Drawing of Callie

One of the teachers at the kids' daycare is going to Art School. She drew this amazing drawing of Callie with pencil. We hung it on our bedroom wall next to Jakobe's 16 X 20 picture. This drawing is absolutely amazing. I can't get over the detail and how real it looks. She is extremely talented and I'm lucky that she drew this for us and it's something we can enjoy forever! Thanks Sarah!

I Got My Hair Cut!

Me!

My mom sent me a couple pictures that she found of me when I was a baby. I think Callie looks like I did as a baby. Both of these pictures are of me. This picture was taken at my daycare when I was in time out! I was about a year old.

The Children's Museum!

Jakobe had a blast at the Children's Museum! His favorite was watching a cloud go up in the air. He also really liked the dinosaur eggs. He stayed busy and was so interested in a lot of things there. It was fun to watch him play, learn and explore!
