Not to be outdone...

Calia noticed that she could fit almost all of her hand in her back pockets...except her thumbs. Then proceeded to walk around the house like this, asking "How does it look?" My reply was "too cool" Then we had to take multiple pictures, so she could see...

Random pics from a week ago

Calia and Nolan

This is what happened while Calia wasn't taking her nap...


Mr. Smiley

Some of Calia's sayings...

Stinky Bread - any bread other than sandwich bread. This started when we got zucchini bread after Nolan's birth, Calia proclaimed "I like this stinky bread" then when she had banana bread a few weeks later she stated "this is like that stinky bread" and hence the term was born.

Coupon - aka Cool Whip. I bought some of the new sprayable Cool Whip and told Kevin I picked it up "because I had a coupon" Later that night, when we had some on our brownies, Calia kept raving about the coupon, "I love coupon, more coupon, etc" It took us a bit, but we realized she meant Cool Whip...well the term stuck and now it's apple crish with coupon, pudding with coupon, and even stinky bread with coupon.

Noxious - aka Obnoxious..for example "daddy I'm sorry that I'm noxious"

I'm sure there are more, but these are just a few that come to mind and since this is Calia's onine baby book, I thought I'd share, since updating the real babybook almost never happens.

Calia's first trip to the Dentist

Just sitting in the chair...counting her teeth

Cleaning the teeth!

no sunglasses or silly props needed for Calia
Show me that smile...

Of course, I forgot my camera, so I took these with the camera on my cell phone...not too bad.

Political fun

In today's Parade in the paper, there was an article about the candidates running in the election. Calia started asking who they were, so I told her, then she'd repeat them back..."Rock Obama" "John the King" "Vitamin John" and "Payton Sylvia" (I'm not sure why she put the VP candidates last names first, but anyway. It was cute, so I made a couple videos...enjoy!

The Candidates are...

Calia as Sarah Palin...

From the mouths of babes...listen closely.
