Growing, Growing, Growing

The other day Callie and I spent the morning watching all her baby videos. As I compared the Callie watching the videos to the Callie in the videos, I was a little blown away at how much she'd changed. She's still only a two year old, but she's not a baby anymore. And now when I hold our baby Elliott, I think I appreciate it more. Before I know it Elliott and I will be spending a morning on the couch watching all her baby videos, but for right now all she wants to do is pound on the keyboard (but don't worry, I appreciate it :0) ). CXZAQS XSW11QQQQQQQQR`--that was a message from the little monster herself.

This is Callie as a baby:

This is Callie my big girl:

Anyone with little toddlers knows how much they like to "help" mommy or daddy with daily tasks. Callie LOVES the soapy water spray bottle and the vinegar water spray bottle. She's never been allowed to spray them, but she sure does take advantage of the moments when I leave the spray bottles in reach of her growing arms. It's usually when I come back downstairs from getting her sister up from nap that I find Callie spraying a bottle on the kitchen wall. Lately it's always the vinegar bottle she's nabbed, so my walls smell like vinegar...but, at least they are clean.

Elliott's walking! She walks half the time and crawls the other half. I think she'd walk more if toys weren't decorating the carpet, but she'll learn to walk around them...but probably not learn to put them away.
