Callie - 17 months

At 17-months-old, oh my, this little girl is so independent and full of personality! She is so much fun, and beginning to be a little challenging, too! :)
She likes to feed her "ba-ba". She sits in her rocking chair, too, and starts humming for "Rock-a-bye, Baby". So sweet...
She loves, loves, loves her giraffe. You'll see it in several pictures. She loves her teddy bear, too :) She's gotten where she comes towards the camera when you get it out. She points to it and says "Was-sat?" (What's that?) We hear that VERY often around here...
Callie is obsessed with feeding the dog these days... ha! On this particular day, Daisy was laying down napping. Callie decided it was time for her to eat. So she went and got Daisy's dog food, brought it to her, and began scooping it out and giving it to Daisy! Callie would even sneak a few bites in for herself, too. (yuck!)
What I mean by somewhat challenging :)... She's much more of a climber at her age than the boys' ever thought about! She gets into the computer, onto the kitchen table, reaching up to the countertops, into the bathroom sink... you name it, she's into it! She's as big as the rest of us, right?! Oh, and her new word... you guessed it... "No"!
A shoe obsession at an early age... oh my! She drags out any & all shoes she can find to try them on! And she really does a great job walking around in them considering they range in size from a child's 11 to a men's 11!
Callie likes riding her horsey these days. She loads up her basket and scoots around. (Notice giraffe in tow :) When she makes a sound like a horse, she shakes her head and says "naaaaay!"
She loves this little pull-around toy. (This was a toy of mine when I was a little girl!) It had a cow on it, but the boys got a little rough with it and it broke off. (surprise, surprise... ha!) Now she loads it up with other things to pull around. (notice giraffe... again!)
Callie also likes to try on hats. The bigger the better, actually, because if they fit, she can't get them on & off as easily!
And she's experimenting with stripping... I mean taking off her clothes... I mean... well, you know what I mean! lol! This is how I found her one morning, with her pajamas unzipped down to her belly button. (see giraffe once again... this time, pink :) I put her socks & shoes on her more times than I can count because she usually has one off before I can get them both on!
I've probably gone on way more than any of you wanted to read, but she really is a hoot! A fun, fun girl! We all love her dearly :)
