Laughing



This is one of Leah and Cale's favorite things to do right now. Cale will laugh and then Leah will just crack up. This is a great activity for car rides- and came in handy during our trip. You have to listen pretty closely for Leah's little giggles- but she gets going pretty good. She usually ends up with major hiccups after this game-but its worth it. Hope you like the video!

Family Vacation to Destin, FL

Leah 5 months old



Leah is so grown up now- she has graduated to her big girl bath seat.
She loved it. She spent the whole bath reaching and grabbing for her toys. She is also really into peek-a-boo right now. Once you get her going, she laughs- even chuckles- and then gives herself major hiccups. As you might have guessed- we find this to be absolutley adorable and will share a video very soon!

Cale's first Haircut




On a whim last night- I called up Beauty Brands because Cale desperately needed a trim for her bangs. She doesn't leave any sort of hair accessory in her hair for more than 2 minutes- so this was necessary. I didn't have my camera for the actual cutting- but it went really fast- and she even sat pretty still. I promised her a blue lollipop when it was over- and that was the clincher to keep her still. Trying to get a photo of the "after look" was about impossible- but here are a couple. In the first one she is demonstrating the cutting. the other picture- is just Cale being Cale (with her sweet little sis in the background). Now Cale is vacation ready! Only 4 more days!

Party time



Cale has been looking forward to the "Elmo Party" for weeks. We went to the party yesterday. One of our friends little girl, Lauren had a great party at Gymboree. It was a blast- and Cale got to do a few new things, like run under a parachute and jump on a trampoline. Leah did not get left out- as she was able to roll around on the mats and chew on some great chewy toys. It was fun to watch all the kids play together. Cale is also getting more into pretend play with her dolls- so I am watching her super close as she sometimes wants Leah to be her dolly.
The best thing that Cale is saying a lot these days is, "I love (insert name here)" she/he is my best friend. She particulary loves to say, "I love Lucy dog, she is my best friend". Not too sure that Lucy agrees though.
Leah will be 5 months this next weekend. Only 2 more weeks of work and we are off to Destin, FL for a week of fun with the family. Yes- you should expect massive amounts of photos upon our return!
