Our Little Sweetheart's First Valentine's Day

We just spent the weekend celebrating Valentine's Day and my birthday with Matt's parents.  They hadn't seen Callie since New Years so they had a lot of squeezes and giggles to catch up on.  Grammie and Grampie's card to Callie says, "...and suddenly, it seems like arms were made just for hugging you, eyes just for peeking at you, and hearts just for loving you..."  I thought that was such a perfect way to put how we all feel about our little, rosy-cheeked sweetheart.  We had a pretty low-key weekend, mostly eating and hanging around the house letting Callie entertain us.  We did leave the house for some shopping and Michelle treated us girls to pedicures.  Callie decided this weekend that crawling was for babies, and so she now walks everywhere.  She walks around with her hands in the air and a big smile on her face.  It is so cute and we love watching her, but we are also a bit sad to see our little baby getting so big, so fast.  Here are some pictures of Callie from the weekend and from breakfast yesterday, enjoying her bagel with cream cheese, just like mommy.  There is a post afterwards with a video of her walking and waving good-bye.  She likes to wave at herself in the mirror and she waved at this video when I showed it to her this morning.  A quick note about viewing You Tube videos.  If you want to see it full-size, click the You Tube HD logo at the bottom of the video.  This will take you to You Tube and there will be a button on the bottom of the viewing screen with four little arrows pointing out.  Click on that button and the video will take up the entire computer screen.  Then, you should be able to see her little bottom teeth and the juice droplets all over her face (she is still figuring out how to drink from a sippy cup).  When you want to go back to the normal screen, just push the ESC button on the top left of you keyboard.

 

Opening her valentine present.  She loves her new book.

  

This is what most meals look like at our house.  Ollie has figured out that food will be dropping so he's always on the ready.  

  

Callie loves cheese of all kinds, just like her mommy!
