Funny callie

Callie really cracks me up.  The other day, I was scolding Daddy - who was looking at his phone while with the kids... "Daddy!", I said!  Then Callie says.. "Oh, daddy!", then looks at me and says... "You shouldn't have done it."

"Done what?", I say.  "Marry him." - says Callie.  Oh how that made me laugh! Hahhaha!

Happenings at the Ing household

Callie's been taking dance lessons earlier this year and it culminated with a hula dance show to Moana's "How far I'll go".  Of course, we got all blue hula clothes to match - who would've guessed?? Also, the baby hula coconut bra from Hawaii ended up being super handy!

Another one of Callie's drawings.  I see Kelsey, Callie, me on a cookie machine??

At Roots and Wings, there was  a field trip to Underwood Farms in Somis.  We went berry picking and Callie had a great time!

This is some of Callie's crew - Farrah, Olivia L and Alexis L. They were having a blast.

My silly girl with her funny glasses from Sammy's birthday party.

Busy at work.  Callie spends most of all her time at the art table.

Look ma! Ice Cream!  I mean ice cream cake pop!  Not bad for a first try at cake pops.

Callie made her own board game that we would play at dinner time.  You start at the 1 and end at the 10.

Cross fingers - Callie drew Doc McStuffins and we entered into the Disney Jr magazine.  I hope she wins the raffle!

We bought this oil in water dropper - it works great at keeping this kid mesmerized!

Callie's drawings are super cute.  She makes her lovies by giving people heart heads.  Here as you can see, she is letting Kelsey know she is coming to her birthday party. 

Callie's a porcelain scholar, as they say.  She spent nearly an hour on the potty reading books.  When she began to run low on books, she would yell out - "More books please!".  I would consider this a homeschooling win. 

At Callie's end of the year preschool celebration.  They sang - "Sing, sing a song" by the carpenters(?).

Kelsey's 8 month update

This past month has been a huge month for Kelsey!  She's definitely gotten so much more aware and so much more physically active/capable!  This month, Kelsey has started standing unassisted all on her own!  To do so, she has to focus on something in her hand and forget that she's even trying to stand.  It's great to watch her learn how to do be more independent and capable. =)

Kelsey is definitely an active baby.  She does not like being restrained at all!  She loves having the freedom to move around!  She is still super strong with her tiger claw - watch out! And her hair (as you can see) is really starting to grow out!  I'm thinking I'll have to take her in for her first haircut before she even turns one! Haha!

Kelsey loves being with her big sister.

Yup - that's Kelsey standing at 8 months.  If you put something in her hands to keep her focused, she can stay balanced for pretty long!

Kelsey's favorite thing has been to play with the crayons, markers and glue sticks on Callie's art table.  Pick up and dump out!

Berry sweet - yes, how right this onesie is!!
