Callum now refers to himself in the third person (I guess pronouns would be a hard concept for a two year old). He seems to say "Callum do it!" pretty often, meaning he'll do it by himself. I think I must call him "my little boy" a lot, because now he'll say to us "pick up my little boy". It's very sweet!

My little photographer
Callum is always interested in what I'm doing when I take photos. So I let him give it a try, with a little of my help- I turned the flash on for him after the first photo, and I helped him hold the camera- but he actually was looking through the camera and pushing the button to take the pictures. I was impressed.

2 year old prayers
This happened a month or two ago, but it was too cute to not share. Callum has been learning lots of new things, like how to pray, and the ABC's. Sometimes those things can get confusing and mixed-up. So, one Sunday, we stopped to get some tacos for lunch after church at this place that we heard was really good. We decided to take them home to eat. Callum really wanted to eat them right then, in the car. As we were driving down the highway, Callum started to yell "ABC ABC ABC" and then "Amen!" and then "Tacos Please!". Apparently he thought that if he "prayed" he would get his lunch right away.

"Isla Eatin Peas" (as Callum would say)
Isla's favorite food so far seem to be peas, though avocados might be a close second. She likes the green stuff, and she loves sucking on those two fingers. They are almost always in her mouth.

She is already taking after Mama, wanting her morning coffee.



Callum has really been into his animal toys lately.

He placed each of these animals in the "correct" spot in their little "homes". He really likes these toys that Grandma and Grandpa gave to him.

Callum started sleeping in a big boy bed a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure when we were going to try to move him into one from his crib until he made it obvious it was time. He's been able to climb in and out of his crib for a little while now, and I've watched him do it a few times, and he was able to get in and out pretty well and safely. Then he learned a new technique. Juston watched him climb up on the rail of the crib and stand on it like a little tight-rope walker. That night he was in the big boy bed. He seems to really like it, he cuddles all up with a bunch of stuffed animals (who must be tucked in just so, like him). He's only fallen out twice, that I know of. He fell onto pillows I put by the bed. I found him curled up on the pillows sleeping those two times. He looks like such a big boy in his bed. I want to get a photo sometime, I'll have to try while he's napping without waking him up.

So it's been a long time...
I've decided to re-launch our blog. I've really enjoyed reading friends blogs and keeping up with them that way. So, since we are living far away from most of you, I thought this might help us all stay in touch better.
The last time I posted, Callum was younger than Isla is now! So, I think I'll start this re-launch with a bunch of photos. (in no particular order)
I hope you enjoy!
