My plan was to catch up with pictures of the remaining time at the lake visiting with Callie's cousins. But I also have to add a note to this blog about our little climber. As you may recall, it all started with her standing on her riding toy. That was our first hint of what kind of adventure-craved creature we were raising. Then she moved on to trying to climb the couch, the chair under the window into the kitchen and then there was the day I caught her standing on the dining room table. Two weeks ago I caught her using the drawers of my dresser as stairs to reach my jewelry. She also climbed a six foot ladder that Grampie had out to work on our gutters. And all during our time at the lake she continually amazed Nana, Papa and Aunt BB by climbing and victoriously standing on furniture and even purposely rolling off things and just popping back up like nothing happened. But today was the ultimate and hopefully the highest point she will reach for a while. Callie made it to the kitchen before Matt and I did and went ahead and climbed up into her highchair! She was sitting in it waiting for us. We are so amazed because it is a booster seat attached to a high bar-chair and there is quite a gap between the only rung and the actual seat. We just stood there awestruck for a few minutes until Callie grew impatient and pointed to her tray in the drying rack and screeched a command for us to get it out and put some food on it. And then she ate and ate everything in sight like a true billy goat. Forget going to the play parks in the mall. I think Callie is ready for the giant climbing wall at Dick's Sporting Goods!
And now for our regularly scheduled giant load of "cousin camp" pictures...
There was lots of swimming and water play...
Surprise toys from Nana...
Will was very aggravated that it wasn't his turn to get a surprise...
...but then he ended up playing with the beauty shop the most!
There was dress-up for pictures time...
Yes, she still tries to eat rocks.
Feeding time ...
We usually fed them in front of the TV to distract them from grabbing each other's food.
And just a little nudity...
It's a little more difficult to go down the slide on a bare bottom but that didn't stop Callie from trying!
