Callie Quake

With all the sad stories coming out of Haiti, it makes me even more thankful for my little natural wonder and, well, natural disaster.  You should see the path of destruction that Callie leaves behind her every minute.  If she is in the family room, she is pulling all the books off her toy shelf and then emptying the bins not even stopping to play with most of the things she pulls out.  She giggles with delight when she sees me bring a laundry basket into the room and will spend a half hour crawling in and out of the basket and pulling the clothes out.  If it is full of her clothes, she will find her little socks and chew on them.  Yesterday, she was crawling around the room with a sock hanging out of her mouth.  It reminded me of nature shows with footage of grizzlies catching salmon.  Daddy now does bath time each night and that is becoming a very special event for them.  She squeals and claps when the bath water is drawn and manages to soak Matt and anything near the tub with her splashing.  Callie now has six teeth but none are quite big enough to get a picture of.  She is still fussy and drooly at times, so maybe she is getting one or two more.  It is only because of God's grace that teething is our main concern right now and not survival from tragedy or disease.  We are so fortunate to not only have a happy healthy baby but to also have a safe, dry and warm little house for her to explore and destroy!
