CALI is 1 today!

December 6, 2009 admin 5 Comments

Cali is our little ball of fun. She is 19 pounds of joy and temper:) Â and 26 inches short. She is a crawler. The little bit of hair she has is very blonde. She has 5 teeth but 2 of them are still just breaking through, you can really only see the bottom 2 for now. She loves to eat – bread and fruit are probably her favorites. She likes to play toys, specifically putting little things inside of bigger things. She loves Â to be in the same vicinity as her brothers and occasionally steal toys from Packer. She is a sound sleeper. She is just finishing nursing and is switching from 2 naps to 1 longer nap. Benji can always get a smile from her. She says Dada but won’t say Mama. She can wave for Hi and Bye. She has a bad habit of spitting – if you say the spit word she starts and doesn’t stop. She goes and pounds on the door if she thinks we’ve left her. She gives big hugs when you get her out of bed in the morning. This morning she threw the ball back and forth with me. And she loves to put everything in her mouth just like her brother Packer. She has no balance on her feet yet but she can move quickly holding on to the couch or a chair. She has the stairs mastered. Loves bath time and HOT TUB time. We think we’ll keep her!

And on this first birthday she has PINK EYE (so sad). She looks pretty beat up. We went to insta- care yesterday to get it under control. She is actually full of smiles even if they are just with one eye. She has passed the Eye goo on to me so that stinks and Benji was the first to have it – I’m hoping that Ben and Packer don’t get it but it’s almost inevitable. We spent yesterday cleaning and sanitizing the entire house. My hands are raw from washing them. Please let us be done with this soon.

I love that Packer calls our Christmas Nut Cracker a Graham Cracker and he still calls our new Microwave a Microphone.

This is the best Christmas Decor. The kids love it and I think it really helps remind us what Christmas is all about.

And Benji is addicted to video games.

O Christmas Tree

We got our tree and decorated it last Monday night. Cali was in bed before we got to the ornaments but the boys had fun pulling each one out of the box. Thanks to Benji and Packer we Â have one of those trees where all of the ornaments are in the same spot , low, front and center 🙂 We love it.
