*Pardon the mess in the background of the photo's, that is what happens after Calleigh has been in a room for 5 minutes. You can tell people love it when we go to visit.*

Learning to Speak

Calleigh's first word was "meow". Now this may not technically be a word, probably more of a sound, but she meows when she sees cat's and that to me makes it her first word. 

Calleigh can now say a few more things, again some of them are not actual words but we somehow understand them and what they mean. She's getting there bless her. 

Here is a dictionary according to Calleigh: 

Wa Daaat- What's that? 

Hu Derrr: Who's that? 

Arr Ditty: Aww Kitty 

Daddy- Daddy 

Dada- Mummy

Muu- Milk or drink

That is the extent of Calleigh's vocabulary at 13 months old.
She does understand a lot more though when we ask her things, she just prefers shaking or nodding her head.
Hopefully she will soon warm my heart by calling me mummy instead of dada all the time.
One can only hope...

Snow Days

We had Lot's more snow over the weekend and Calleigh spent a lot of time enjoying it. 

On Saturday we took a walk into the square with Mee-Maw for a cup of tea. We didn't even take the push chair, Calleigh walked with us all the way (It took us a while, but we got there in the end).  

On Sunday Nanna and Grandad whisked Calleigh away to West Park and a ride on a sled. 

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"He's behind me isn't he?"

Yesterday, we built a snowman at Mee-Maw's house. 

I call him Cowboy Joe Snow

"Mummy! He's wearing my wellies!"

As much as it's great fun playing in the snow with Calleigh, I wish it would clear up a bit so we can venture out with the new trike we bought for her. 

Put your Wellies on

The other day, for some unknown reason, Calleigh decided to put her wellies on her hands. I was in tears laughing as she waved them around in the air shouting. 

You can only wonder what goes on in that crazy little head of hers... 

Snow!!

The snow fell thick and fast today so I took my chance to let Calleigh have a good look at it. 

We went out for a play in Mee-Maws garden. Calleigh definitely found it interesting. She has been "ooooh"ing at it since it started to fall last night. 

We decided it was time to go in when one of her wellies came off and she had a snow covered sock.

Look how much she had changed since her first time in the snow last year!
