Tying Up Loose Ends #2

My next mission, generated by a request from Cath, was to get a good picture of my granddaughter... with her eyes open...sounds easy enough..especially if you listen to her parents go on about her not sleeping...but not so easy in real life or at least not the times that I see her. Calleigh is an eating machine and every 3 hours like a clock, she opens her eyes, she looks around...her tongue starts going, her mouth moving exactly like a baby birds and she wants food! She will give you about a minute and half to get your act together before she goes into her routine...first the mouth crumples like you have wounded her heart- that is the "you have 30 seconds" warning and then she lets you know her opinion of the whole situation, in no uncertain terms! Like I said right at the beginning...a cream puff with attitude!




She was trying to smile, but the sun got in her eyes!


If you catch Calleigh between ounces 3 and 4 of the bottle, when she has just had enough to satiate her appetite slightly but is not quite finished...she loves playing peek a boo with Zed and might even grace you with a smile. Also, she must have a much more discerning ear than her cousin Noah, because she doesnt particularly like to hear grandma sing and she is not at all interested in the Patty Cakes that my Noah so adored. She is definitely a hard sell...much like her aunt was! I used to say that Kirsten was such a good baby.... but only because she wanted to be....not because you wanted it. These girls have minds of their own! lol And I see that determination in Calleigh.....You go girl!!






Whaaaaat Guy?????




Then when you change her diaper and give her the last ounce of the bottle, right back to sleep and she lies in your arms and you cant help but stare at the pure sweetness of her face. I am going to miss her so much.

Once again I ask...how can it get better than this??

Noah wishes Uncle Scott a happy birthday! Calleigh entertains people passing her at the pool.
