Big sister Lily and baby sister Callie.

Our little rock princess.

She doesn't mind her tummy time, but sometimes she just relaxes.

Mommy and Lily time.

Lily took swim lessons for a month at an indoor pool. Daddy was forced to be in the water with Lily. There was no way Mommy was getting in a suit just after the baby was born. She's still a little afraid of the water, but Daddy was really good at letting go and really letting Lily see what the water was about. All she needs is more trips to the pool to practice.

On April 6th, 2011, we welcomed Callie Marie to our family. Here is proud papa with the 8 pound 9 ouncer.

Big sister likes her so far.

Big Sister Lily came to visit Callie and Mommy at the hospital. She was a little nervous.

Here is our first family photo with Callie.

March 2011 part deux

Ready for sleep in the car ride home after a fun-filled night of playing with her cousins at Brandon and Damon's 16th birthday party. Lily's favorite place to eat is Target, which is super convenient for mommy.

Pink appears to be her favorite color. Where does she get it...I don't know. Mommy isn't a big fan of pink.

Now that Lily actually plays on the equipment we try to take her alot and yes she's wearing snow boots. Those are her favorites, plus she can put them on by herself, which helps pregnant mommy.

She's starting to get interested in picking out her clothes and jammies. She loves socks and anything princess or pink.

Cool kid.

It's written all over my face...can't wait for arrival.

We're always trying to get good photos of Lily for her agent, but mommy is a terrible photographer...it's a long and painful process sometimes.

Feb-Mar 2011

Lily started gymnastics in February. It really has given her strength and confidence, even if most of it climbing and jumping around. Before gymnastics she wouldn't do much at the playground and now she climbs on everything without fear. I try to catch my dogs in moments of companionship. I thought they only fought, but little did I know they actually cuddle on cold mornings, says Bo. He sees them when he leaves for work. I only see them near each other when they are sunbathing.

This is what Lily would do pre-gymnastics...

She has a little fat lip from her many trips and falls.

February 2011

Lily loves books. She even reads to her dolls. Playtime with Daddy is always fun. They're playing with a new Christmas toy from Grandpa Jarman. Aquadoodle...great invention...no mess and she loves it.

At Clark Regional Park in Fullerton, with Grandma Jarman, feeding the ducks. Lily got scared when they came at her. She later played in the sand with her sand toys at the playground.

We had a few weeks of great weather. We took advantage and went outside whenever we could, even if it was just to draw on the sidewalk in the front yard.

The only place she wants to take a bath is in Mommy and Daddy's big bath tub. Put a little tiny bit of bubble bath in and turn on the jets and its overflowin' with bubbles.
