Callie at 16 months!

I can't believe my baby girl is 16 months old! It's crazy how she just has her own little personality. It's fun having a dainty little girl, both Noah and Mason were pretty good size chunky boys. Although, I kind of want her to start growing, because I have so many fun clothes in bigger sizes! Haha! Some of her shorts and pants are still 6 month size.

Some of her favorites:
"Big Little" has been her favorite book for the past couple months. She wants it to be read to her OVER and OVER and OVER! It's our "secret weapon!" If she is throwing a fit or tantrum we can easily distract her by saying "Callie. Where is your Big Little book?" Magically, she stops to go find it.

She absolutely loves this bird puppet (Noah calls it his Rio bird, Callie and Noah are constantly fighting over it.)
Outside! She will stand at the back door saying "Outside! Outside! Outside!" Until you take her outside!
Dancing! ANYTIME there is music, this girl is bobbing along to the beat!  She dances when we are at church, in the car, at home, she even dances to the sound of the vacuum and blender!
Running! It seems like she runs EVERYWHERE! And she is getting pretty fast too!
Sharing! She is very good at sharing! Especially, if you don't even ask for any. She will offer it anyways! (Like how Noah is asleep in this picture and she is sharing her apple!)

Climbing. She is climbing on EVERYTHING! I am constantly finding her on the kitchen table. This week she learned how to climb the kitchen stools. I'm just happy she isn't climbing out of her crib YET!

Bath Time! All you have to do it say the word "Bath" and she runs like crazy to the bathroom and starts climbing into the tub!

Shoes I love how fascinated with shoes she is! She is always trying on someone else's shoes or bringing me my shoes. It's crazy how kids come pre-wired with their own personality and characteristics! I have taken her shoe shopping 2 times now and both time she has LOVED it! She runs around finding shoes she likes and brings them to me exclaiming "Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!" When I get them on her feet she walks up an down the aisle trying them out. I LOVE it!

Talking:
It's almost to a point where it would be easier to list the words she ISN'T saying!
Just within the last week she has started to repeat a lot of words I say.
She can say:
Baby
Please
Thank you
Doggie
Froggie (which sounds exactly like Doggie)
Soft
Ducky
Goggle
Outside
Apple (She calls almost all fruit "Bapple")
No
Yeah
Down
Bye
Gotcha!
Keys
MINE
ME!
Cookie
Cake
Cheese (when you are taking her picture)
Shoes (Today she saw me putting on my shoes and said "Mommy go?")

I feel like having a baby girl after 2 boys is perfect for our family. I wouldn't change having my two wonderful boys first for ANYTHING in the world but... having a little girl after all the boy stuff has definitely made me more aware and appreciative of all the fun girlie things out there! Callie has been such a wonderful addition to our family. I love that she can hold her own with her brothers, my sitter tells me that she is tougher than both her brothers, and I would have to agree. I am truely blessed and I thank my Heavenly Father every day for these 3 wonderful miracles in my life.
