Callie's Dedication

Callie was dedicated at our church on Sunday:) It was a really special day filled with most of our family.

The Hay kids (We missed you Jeff!)

Pops and Gigi and Grandma and Grandpa

Callie's new trick is looking at things sideways:)

This is how she REALLY feels about Uncle Chris...haha!!!

Our little angel:)

Not Sure What to Think About Baby Food

This face pretty much sums up our experience with squash. Not only did she not like it, but she was actually gagging. At one point, I was sure she was going to throw up. After 3 sittings, I gave up.

Then we found peas, and they are wonderful! She can't get enough of them! We are going to try carrots next, so our fingers are crossed.

This is a random picture of Callie in sunglasses that Miss Katelynn picked out for her. The picture doesn't do it justice, but I think she looks like Elton John with them on...hilarious!

All Moved In

Thanks to some FABULOUS help from my dad, Lance, Chris, Patrick, and Katy, we are moved in! Overall, it was a terrible process, but we still managed to have some fun...especially Lance and I:) We can find humor in pretty much anything! It made me want to thank my parents for never making us move as kids. It didn't help that it was over 100 degrees all weekend. I promise some house pictures when I get it somewhat put together.

As you can see, Callie is very happy in the new house:)

Mad Dash to Abilene

We made a quick trip to Abilene this weekend for Lance and Kristin's first shower. We had such a fun time hanging out with family:)

Being in West Texas, you can always count on the wind. It was about as windy as I have ever seen it. My hair doesn't appreciate the wind very much!

The cute couple:)

The outsiders we have let into the family...haha:)

Callie had a lot of fun playing at Grandma and Grandpa's house. She is getting really good at sitting up now.

This one makes me laugh:) She has definitely discovered her tongue and enjoys sticking it out.

She is really close to figuring out how to turn on her rainforest by herself.

Taking a nap at Gigi and Pops's house.

Callie had fun with her Aunt Julie! We are very excited about Baby BOY Hay that they are having in November:)

She has on shoes and I don't to try to make things more even...haha!

Callie loves to play with Grandpa.

With Uncle Tony at the Fire Station. Callie didn't really care about it...maybe when she is older. She was worn out from the trip!

We had a terrific trip! We bought some furniture at Jordan Taylor that we are really excited to see in our new house. We are moving THIS weekend! I am packing, packing, packing which is awful, awful, awful. The only good thing is that it will be over soon...then I will have to UNpack:( It is crazy to think the next time we are in Abilene will be for the WEDDING! We can't wait!

6 Months!

Our baby girl turned 6 months old yesterday! She is developing such a fun little personality. She will rarely stay on her back becuase she prefers either being on her tummy or sitting up. She loves to grab at things...especially her feet and shoes. She also loves to grab the bottom of her dresses, her piggy, cow, and bunny, and her little colorful links. She is such a joy, and we love her so much! Just like last time, here are some outtakes. It took 2 complete outfits and a lot of silly noises and faces to get one picture!!! Enjoy:)

Always grabbing for her feet.

We had to take this outfit off for two reasons...1: She was so focused on those orange shoes that she refused to look up. 2: She spit up all over it and the chair...fun times.

Back to the feet...

This shows you why the sign is so wrinkled in some of the pictures. She loved to crunch the paper.

Some New Tricks

I thought these were so cute of Craig and Callie reading. She loves to grab at the book:)

The cutest duck you have ever seen!

This is my favorite bow!

This is the first new trick. Callie gets very frustrated when something is out of her reach, so she will talk to it and desperately try to get to it. It is sad though because if she does get close enough, she accidentally hits it with her hand, and it gets even farther away!

Sitting up is not yet a consistent trick, but we are getting there!

Almost everyone thinks that she looks just like Craig, but in this one, I think she looks exactly like my baby pictures.

We have been busy around here lately. We are trying to pack up the house which I have decided is not any fun at all. I lived in the same house my entire life, so this is a new experience for me. I don't like it.

We are super excited about Lance and Kristin's engagement party this weekend:) If you want to check out some of their gorgeous engagement pics, go to www.ee-photography.com. Click on her blog, and find Kristin and Lance's Engagements...they are so beautiful!

Callie Grace is growing up so fast. She will be SIX months on Wednesday!!!
