Callie is 23 months old today! I have a little over a month to plan her 2nd birthday party, which seems absolutely crazy. I can't possibly have a daughter who's almost 2! Our party plans for this year are a "Noah's Ark" theme. Callie loves animals so much, so we're planning the party around all her favorite animal friends, in twos! (Kinda perfect, right?)
Things are going on as normal around here. Callie plays all morning until lunch, then takes a nap after lunch, then plays the rest of the day until dinner. It gets busy after dinner with bath, warm milk before bed, story time and song time, then to bed by 8:00. That's our typical schedule except for 1-2 days a week we go to Peoria or Bloomington to get groceries or sometimes just to get out of the house!
Callie loves to play pretend with her dishes and cups. She's always mixing up something for us to try. She also loves to play with her building blocks, usually adding them to the dishes she's making. She also takes a bear and wraps her in a blanket and carries her around the house at least once a day. She's still surprising me with everything that she knows. Yesterday, she was enjoying playing with her hat and mittens. I probably put them on her at least 20 times. She would get her hat on, then hold out her hands for the mittens. She would then proceed to walk to the door (mind you, she was in her feety pajamas) and say "Outside! Snow!" At least she almost knows how to prepare to go out when it's snowing!
My parents are hoping to be in their house by the second week in February. Of course, it originally the end of December, then it was the second week of January, now we're to the second week of February . . . so don't count on me holding my breath. Sometimes it seems when you're counting on something, someone gets delayed, something doesn't get shipped, a mistake is made, or something takes longer than was planned, which is a list of everything that's gone on since December 1st. No one's fault, just the way the cookie crumbles! :-) Oh well, whatcha gonna do?
Now that I'm safely back at my starting weight it means I can start doing my pregnancy work outs. I've felt very lazy not being able to do anything extra, of course now the question is, where do I fit that into my schedule? Did I really fit it in before? Actually it was a lot easier when I could take Callie on a walk to the park. The weather now is not really appropriate for that kind of work out though . . . I'm sure I'll find something and some time!
That's about all that's going on around here lately. The anticipation of finally getting a permanent residence after nearly 1 1/2 years, Callie growing and making us laugh on a daily basis, and us plugging along in our average, everyday lives.
I hope you all have a great week! God bless you and yours!
