Calliope Update

My my my how time has flown.  Our little angel is growing so fast, and I am not too thrilled about it.  She has the best little personality, mixed in with a wicked, wicked temper. Calliope is a busy busy little body, and doesn't like to let life pass her by.

Here are some fun facts:

* She can identify her nose, eyes, ears, mouth, tongue, fingers, and belly... I am sure she can tell you where more are, but these are her favorites.  She likes to point them out on her face/body, then on yours.

* She now has a total of four teeth! She is a little slow going on the teeth, but I am ok with that.  The longer they take to pop out the healthier they will be! Teething is REALLY hard on her though, so it makes it rough at times.  Fever, restlesness, major crabbiness, and of course the drool. 

* She weighs 23 lbs and is 31 in. tall. 

* She LOOOOVES animals.  We have been teaching her the different sounds they make, and she tries to imitate us.  She can tell you what sound a cow, lion, duck, dog, cat, and sometimes a monkey.  When we pass cows while out and about she will say "MOOOOOOOOOO!!!"  and quack quack, is often "dack, dack" when we talk about ducks. 

* She doesn't like to sit and eat anymore, so this has forced us to keep at home more often for dinners...  and at home, she likes to eat on the run too.  I am hoping we can get her to sit down again soon.  But for now, we go with the flow to make sure she is eating.

* She loves to make messes! Imagine that... She will dump her toy bin over and over and over again through out the day.  The good thing is she is learning to help me clean up!

* Reading is a passion of hers as well... we read many books all day long. Often times she will just go sit and look at books by herself

* Sleeping is still a good thing, for the most part.  She sleeps most nights all the nright long.  I try to get her down for two naps a day still, but she is slowly trying to get to just one.  That makes for a REALLY long day! As she turns into a grump without a nap.

* Dancing Fool!  Two words to describe her.  If music is on her booty is moving.

* She loves going to her Nana and Papa's House.  When my mom shows up to take her, she gets giddy with excitement.  So much so sometimes, that I am jealous! lol

I could go on and on about her, but will stop here.  Below are a couple of photos of her in late November. Isn't she just the cutest!
