Zoe...she used to be our baby. Good dog, and great with the kids. Still as hyper as ever.

Nevermind that her mommy was FREAKING OUT that she grabbed a chip - it's still a funny picture.

No one can get her to smile and laugh like her brother can. Sibling love.

Bo's hair has gotten a little crazy. After Bo's bath, Daddy combed it back like the Fonz and told Bo to stick his thumbs up.

Valentine's present from Grandma Deb. He didn't really understand the concept of dipping the brush in paint. He kept just dipping it in the water.

This photo cracks me up. While Daddy was gone, I had to figure out a way to get us all showered. I stripped her to her diaper, put her in the Johnny Jump-Up and got myself and Bo showered while she played in it. Then I got out and got her to get in the shower.
Love her little chicken legs! :)

My sweet, sweet boy fast asleep. Now, his sister needs to start taking notes from him.

Maybe he's not obsessed with trains as much as we think. Race cars are coming in at a close second.

Sesame Street Live. Although it looks like Bo is not having fun but he did.

I'm going to cheat and post 2 pics. We watched the Super Bowl with our friends, the Dolezals. The first pic is of Calista and Karstyn, about 3 months apart. Calista is barely on the chart, and Karstyn is at the top of the chart. Cuteness!

The second pic is of Bo and Edysen, also about 3 months apart. Bo and Karstyn are both born in April, Calista and Edysen are both born in July. These two had a blast playing together.

We got down the highchair from the attic. Not that she is actually eating any cereal or baby food - just for the purpose of giving her somewhere to sit and play while we eat, or cook, etc.

I still can't believe she still likes to be swaddled at 6 months old. We can't put her in the crib this way, because she does know how to roll onto her belly, and well you know they can't have blankets in their bed until after they are a year old. Also, she will roll onto her belly and get MAD, MAD, MAD that she is on her belly. So, bassinet it is. She still fits in it pretty good AND can't roll :)

Poor bub. This is a nightly routine. We would love for the doctors to discontinue the inhalers.

Bo & Calista had fun hanging out with Grandma, Grandpa, Jesse and Kevin today while mommy scrapped. Dad left for a business trip to Vegas today and wouldn't return home until Wednesday morning - thanks to a near blizzard.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for coming to watch us!

I promise I took a picture today. It was a cute one - one of her napping for 4 HOURS. I quick opened the door, saw I had a low battery, snapped the picture, and then turned the camera off and put the battery on the charger. Nope. Camera did not actually take the picture. Boo.

I THOUGHT she was big enough for her bath seat. I thought wrong. She also hates baths. We'll try again some other time when I have the energy for it (and she's bigger).

Sledding at Grandma and Grandpa's!! He wanted nothing to do with it until we made him get on, then he loved it!

You can't help but smile when looking at this picture. Kyle told him to pretend to be asleep and he couldn't help but laugh. I <3 this boy.

Sad day for Thomas. Bo managed to kill his battery in a day and we were all out of batteries. Needless to say, Thomas was broken for a few days, and Bo was distraught. (I am impressed by my phototaking skills on this one too!)

I had another picture to post for this day, as it is Calista's 6 month birthday. But, instead I'll share a funny story. Bo was going potty, and I was in the bathroom with him holding Calista. I told Bo to talk to her so she would smile and he says, "I make her laugh." Sure enough, just by looking at her, made her giggle. She would laugh, that would make him laugh, and make her laugh harder. This continued on for several minutes. You couldn't help but laugh along with them. After he was done pottying, he asked to hold her. He does not hold her very often so I was happy to oblige for a quick photo op.

We went to Omaha to see Thomas!! Meet our friends, Adam and Rochelle and their little boy there and Jesse and Kevin came too. I tried to get more pictures, but my battery was acting up.

Happy 6 month birthday Calista! This little peanut is now 11lbs 2oz, and 24.5in at her latest appointment. Who wants to take bets at what she'll weigh at a year? I'm guessing 16lbs.

Project 365

Now that I'm at home full time, I decided to do the 365 Project. 11 days in, and I have gotten a picture every day. This should help me update the blog more and document what is going on in our life. It's a win-win situation ;)

Grandma Deb bought Calista this cute onesie for Christmas. She is starting to sit up better and is such a happy baby.

We've had a rough couple of weeks getting Calista to bed. But for a couple of months, she will only let me put her to bed. The thing she is wearing is a Woombie, and it is awesome! It has no arm holes, and keeps her from flailing and waking herself up. She hates getting in it, but once she does she settles right down.

Another night, same story. I will get her drowsy, put her down, and she wakes up! Or she'll sleep for a 1/2 hour and wake up screaming. I. Don't. Get. It.

Bo loves his "baby" - aka Calista's glowworm. He's always saying "Baby's crying!" "Feed her mommy!" So cute.

Bo has been on a shower phase for months. I asked him if he wanted to take one, and he said no (typical). Then he changed his mind. "I wanna take a bwawth!"
