Callan Blair- 5 month update

So yesterday was actually the exact 5 month mark and to tell you the truth, it totally snuck up on me. We were at the park with Campbell and something made me look at my phone and notice the date was the 17th. I just can't believe how time is flying by. My baby is getting so big so fast. Makes me sad...

I haven't weighed miss Callan Blair recently. We are easily 17+ pounds. She is pretty long too, but so so chunky! She is wearing 6-9 month clothes, mostly 9 month. Her shoe size is 2, almost about time to move up to a 3. She is wearing size 3 diapers.

Callan has had a rough few weeks of what I think is early teething. She's drooling more, more fussy, waking up in the middle of the night crying (who am I kidding, this is normal for her), and gnawing on her hands. But she has also become more content and happy, if you can imagine that. Her giggles and grins absolutely melt my heart. I love 'em.

She is loving the bouncer. Thankfully, it gives me somewhere else to "put" her to keep her preoccupied and happy for a while. She still rolls from back to tummy. She hasn't cared to roll from tummy to back very often. She is grabbing at toys these days. She has found her feet, but her favorite "toy" is still her hands. And she still loves to blow 'raspberries'. Spit flies everywhere, but it's precious!

She notices Duke now. I caught her watching and smiling at him while he was standing at the back door. She intently watches him walk past her. It's sweet...he on the other hand, could care less about her.

Callan loves her cereal. Oh, I knew this girl could eat, but I bet she will eat anything I put in front of her. Can't wait until the end of this month when I can start her on some more yummy foods. It's hard to believe that I will have a baby eating solid foods very soon!

I know I'm missing something. Hope you enjoy a few of the pics I took this morning. I love this sweet baby so much!







And of course, big sister had to hop in the crib and photobomb! Love these girls with everything in me!

Happy 1/2 birthday baby girl... 2 1/2 to be exact...

So I want to remember the little things...with my girls growing so fast and my "mommy brain" constantly forgetting EVERYTHING...I am trying my hardest to remember and document the everyday, sweet, personal things that make my girls who they are. Campbell Grace turned 2 1/2 today. Hard to believe in 6 months I will have a 3 year old! 
I took a few pictures of my first born this morning, totally in her element...in her princess pj gown with her "baby dolls" (any and every stuffed animal we own), and with her favorite book. I also got a video of her singing and just being random. I love this age...she cracks me up and tests me every single day. I'm so glad God chose me to be her momma. She is one of my greatest joys!

I asked Campbell a list of questions...hopefully I can keep doing this every year!

1. What is your favorite color? PINK
2. What is your favorite toy? Shopping cart and pizza in her kitchen
3. What is your favorite fruit? Watermelon
4. What is your favorite TV show? Bubble Guppies & Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
5. What is your favorite food for lunch? Chicken noodle soup
6. What is your favorite outfit: My purple dress
7. What is your favorite snack? Popcorn
8. What is your favorite animal? Bear
9. What is your favorite song? Twinkle twinkle little star
10. What is your favorite book? Loveabye Dragon
11. Who is your best friend? Liam & Maddox
12. What is your favorite thing to do outside? Blow bubbles
13. What is your favorite drink? Chocolate milk
14. What is your favorite thing to take with you to bed/anywhere? My blankie
15. What is your favorite breakfast food? Waffle with peanut butter
16. What is your favorite food for dinner? Mac-n-cheese
17. What is your favorite game/activity? To paint!
18. What is your favorite movie? Cinderella
19. What do you want to be when you grow up? Super Campbell (haha, must still have halloween on our mind)

And here are some other things I want to remember:
She always says she "needs" to do something, especially to watch a show. She is repeating and mimicking everything, especially other little kids. She has a fascination for trains and firetrucks. She is such a great big sister...always tries to comfort Callan saying: "it's ok baby sister." She loves to sing and dance. We frequent the library these days and she insists on reading before nap and bedtime!  She is proving to be left handed. She loves to paint and play with play-doh. She finishes almost every sentence with OK or K. She is mostly potty-trained. She always has to have her blankie. And "hold you" has officially turned to "hold me"...this shows me just how much she has grown and matured over the last 6 months.


And here's her video: typical Campbell Grace!


Campbell is my rainbow baby! She shines so bright! She brought a new love into my heart I never thought I could know. Campbell...I love you so much!

Your momma
