Splash Pad

I took Cali to the Splash Pad at a park near by... She wanted nothing to do with the water at first, it was so bad that I wanted to leave because she wasn't having a good time. I was so surprised because she's such a water baby. But after 20 minutes of trying to get her to enjoy it she finally decided she liked it.

Cali is such a water baby and a daredevil! She wants to swim on her own (with a life jacket of course) and doesn't want me to touch her when she's in the pool. She's actually really good at it, except for keeping her mouth shut. She doesn't know how to keep he mouth closed so she is constantly drinking the pool water, I have to hold her the entire time so she doesn't drink too much water.
Maybe I can get my dad to get in the pool with her so I can take pictures of our little swimmer.

Nail Polish

Cali found the nail polish somewhere, it's my mom's, and she insisted I painted her nails and it was so nice that Marissa was here to capture the moments.
I can't believe she actually sat still!

Don't worry it was removed later that night.

PEEEEE!

I'm so glad we spent all that money on our Blackberry's! This video wouldn't be possible without it!
I know I say this all the time but Cali is so stinkin' cute! Please notice where she goes to sit after she gets her fruit snack.

My parents replaced their carpet not too long ago so no one is allowed to eat in the living room or bedrooms. There is a small piece of carpet in the dinning room which is where Madi eats because she likes to watch TV while she eats so Cali quickly learned that she wasn't allowed in the living room with food. Kids are so smart!

Yay or Nay?

Like the new look?

Peace

Madi is so sweet and always so willing to smile at the camera, but the best part of Madi is that she always throws the peace sign!

Great news!

Well I just got 2 great email!
1. My camera shipped today so it should be here Friday.
2. Our pictures are up!! The photographer hasn't posted them on her blog yet so if you want to see them email me or comment on here and I will send you the link and password. I forgot to sign a release form so she didn't post them on her blog.
Ducks
I took Cali to the park this morning before it started raining and all she wanted to do was stare at the ducks. I don't think she's going to enjoy duck hunting with daddy.

Almost Ready

It finally stopped raining for a day and Dad finally got a chance to clean the pool! It's suppose to rain again tomorrow though, boooooo.
I did get a chance to get a couple of pictures of the girls helping him clean the pool. It was a little green but they didn't care.

18 MONTHS!

We were hanging out tonight and Cali picked up the Wii controller, she thought it was a phone so she put up to her ear and was saying hello. She then handed me my phone so that we could "talk" on the phone. We were "talking" when a Pepsi commercial came on TV and she started dancing, why do kids love to dance? No matter what she is doing if she hears a song with a beat she starts dancing.
She is now 18 months and she is the sweetest baby ever! She gives me goodnight kisses and she loves to hug other kids. The best part is when she gives kisses without being asked.
She is slowly learning to talk. She can say; mom, daddy, yup, that, peee (please), chee (cheese), and hi, and hello.
She can sign; more, please, milk, all done, she knows thank you but doesn't do it very often and she has made up her own sign for where.
She learned to sign "please" before she could say it but now that she know how to say it and what it means she says it all the time, well not all the time only when she wants something.
And of course what kind of an 18-month-old would she be without tantrums?! She doesn't throw many fits yet, thankfully, and when she does I ignore her and she gets over it in a few seconds. If she does something bad she goes to time-out. All-in-all she is a well behaved kid. She is starting to hit when she get mad so we are working on it.
She still doesn't seem to care too much about TV, she LOVES Elmo and Sesame Street it's the only show she watches but she can't even sit still for an entire episode.
She prefers to run and make big messes.
She loves to share, if you have spend a day with her you have seen her "baby" (the Precious Moments doll) she loves to share the doll's foot with everyone she meets.
She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES babies! She wants to hold them and touch them and kiss them. So if Cali meets your baby I hope you don't mind dirty toddler hands.

Sorry no pictures, I sent my camera away :(

Then and Now

Our baby will be 18 months in just 5 day! Where has the time gone?
I came across some old pictures of Cali and it just amazes me how much she has changed in her short life.
Cali at 2 months (JcPenny pic) and just last month at 17 months

When did her hair get so light and when did she get so big?!

YAY
