June is almost over, and so is my wait for surgery. I have mostly stayed put in my little home. I have been hibernating like a little bug. It has been very boring for Callie. We do go to swimming every morning, and we have taken two trips. One trip was up to visit Cam's family for Eden and Paisley's baby blessings. Another trip was to Snowflake for Bill and Karen's "not farewell" talks in church. The Berry's even came to Snowflake with us for some golf time with Papa LaDuke. We all have a blast with the cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandma and grandpa. Besides these trips Callie has been pretty bored. With all this boredom comes much time for reading lessons and reading time. In one month Callie had done over 26 hours of reading time, and over 10 reading lessons. She has just earned enough money to buy her Jungle book figurines and pay her first tithing installment. She is so excited to have these little toys. The only problem is she makes me be King Louie because she doesn't like him.
Last night we went to see the movie Wall E, with the Berry's. Callie has been anticipating this movie for about 6 months. Thanks to Disney's wonderful marketing techniques, my three year old navigated to a Wall E site through Playhouse Disney, and has been self taught to all the character details of the movie. Before the movie started she knew about 5 of the character's names, and was even telling me "Eve is like a mom, right." When I asked her why Eve is like a mom Callie explained, "She says, 'come one Wall E.'" If you substitute the name Wall E for Callie it sound a lot like something I say daily to her. When a new character was made its debut on the screen, Callie informed me of their name. So now that we have seen the movie Callie keeps telling me we need to do two reading lessons and then she can get EVE. We will see how much an EVE toy costs then negotiations will begin. She has always been a little negotiator.
Callie quotes:
"she was little, she was a kid, Right?" (Meaning: the picture of someone she is looking at is from when they were younger.)
"Mom, Avery wants to hear the music louder."
"We can clean up tomorrow." or if I say it is time to clean up she will ask, "Who is coming over?"
"Mom, I fink Avery is hungry."
Avery's 4 month Stats:
25.25 inches long 90%
13 lbs. 13 oz. 50%
Rolled over back to front 6/21/2008
Plays with toys. (grabs, shakes, or bites them)
Tall enough and sturdy enough for the exersaucer.
She is cutting two large teeth on top. They are oddly not the middle ones but maybe the fang teeth, two over from the center. She is drooling a lot. (oops 1st tooth today June 30th bottom left center).
Won’t take a bottle. This is a concern for surgery date.
We are looking forward to 4th of July with all the cousins in Gilbert/Chandler. I am really looking forward to July 10th when my stone will be blasted.
