Where does the time ago? One year ago today, Callie Beth was due. Of course she decided she did not want to be a winter baby and wait a couple more days for Spring to arrive. I can not get over that our little girl is going to be one. I LOVE this stage right now but boy do I miss those days when she was so tiny.
We can’t wait to celebrate her First birthday on Sunday. And then of course, enjoy Spring Break.
Here are some recent pics when she was in a silly mood:
Callie Beth is getting more and more curious each and every day. Before, she would just play but now you have to keep a close eye on her because she is QUICK.
For the wipes, I literally turned my back for 1 minute while cleaning and she had it almost emptied.
She LOVES to stand at the dishwasher when I am doing dishes or the dryer when the I am doing laundry.
Maybe she is just trying to help???
This is pretty much just a post for me to vent. I am so frustrated. This past month, Callie Beth came down with a little cold, had an ear infection (so they say), had a mysterious fever that lasted 2 weeks. She was put on medicine that gave her an upset tummy. The upset tummy caused many diaper changes and 2 cases of bad diaper rash where she didn’t even want to sit. She would have a breakdown the minute I laid her down to change her diaper. Of course the worst day of the diaper rash (round 1) would fall on the day of her 1 year pictures. And on top of all that, the doc said her molars are coming in…great!
I must say that she has been a tough little trooper through all of this. The month of February was not a good month for this little girl. I am very hopeful that March is going to be great…she has to be healthy for her first birthday!!!
If you know Callie Beth, you know this only happens when she doesn’t feel well! I didn’t mind one bit!!
Callie Beth is 11 Months Old! I have been busy planning and getting things ready for her First Birthday! It really hasn’t hit me yet that my little girl is going to be ONE in a month!
Weight……17 pounds 14 ounces……10th percentile
This afternoon we took advantage of everyone being healthy and decided to enjoy the sunshine. We took a nice little hike to this bridge and waterfall. Callie Beth had a great time in her backpack. She talked most of the time and liked to jump and dance while on Jake’s back. What a good family day!
It has been absolutely gorgeous here the last few days. Sunny and in the 60s. What a treat for February at the Oregon coast! Callie Beth has been battling a fever since Saturday morning so we have been trying to nurse her back to health. They don’t really know what is going on. The poor girl looks sick and run down but is happy as can be. No other symptoms! The fever finally went down this afternoon (let’s hope it stay gone). Any ideas what is going on?
We all need sunshine (especially when sick)
These were the other day when the sun was starting to go down and get cool:
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. Ours was as best as it could be considering the little one is sick.
Well, I can tell you that I am very frustrated. I am over the sickness thing!!!! It seems like once a month, CB gets sick. Last month was her first ear infection. We were scheduled for a month follow up on Friday to make sure everything was okay. It so happens that she got sick on Sunday last week. She was doing really well near the end of the week. The doctor said there was still a little fluid in there. This meant, it was either draining or was going to turn into an infection (but no infection at the time).
Well, Friday night she woke up with a 102 fever and nothing could bring it down all day. But, she was such a happy girl and no symptoms of an ear infection or anything else. She napped for about 6 hours on and off yesterday and her fever broke right before bed.
Today, her mood started off great but then turned sour and no fever all day. Tonight, she was happy again but the fever came back. What is going on?
Oh, and while we were at the doctor, she said her molars are starting to come in! I was hoping for a little break from teething.
So it could be her teeth, ear infection, strep throat, or something completely different. Only time will tell. We are hoping she wakes up tomorrow good as new.
These pictures sum up the moods of the day:
Bless her heart!
I think this is the longest I have gone without a post and I am sorry. This week was report card week which is very time consuming (especially for 30 students). Every extra minute I have had has gone into preparing those lovely things and then I crash. I am looking forward to working on other projects now and just spending as much time with the little one. She is doing great!!!
Last weekend, our friend Aaron came in town for a visit before he leaves for baseball. Callie Beth loves guys and just couldn’t get enough of Uncle Aaron (and he couldn’t get enough of her). He was so great with her.
Callie Beth loves reading which is exciting to me since this is what I teach. She is lucky to have so many wonderful books and access to so many more in my classroom.
I must say Callie Beth is not a great teether. She always gets a little fever, a little fussy and LOTS of drool. Everything goes in her mouth. Those darn things seem to come in very slow. Usually about once a month. She has been wonderful the last couple of weeks so I was presently surprised to see another bottom tooth this morning! Yea! No symptoms! She is now up to 7 teeth.
Check back soon for some videos!
Some of you have been asking for some pictures so here you go:
