Crazy Busy Keil's

The last few months have been CRAZY!! Between finding out we are expecting again, Eric’s school work and a busy baby I am finding it hard to keep up. I am sure this is only going to get worse come January but I will try to keep everyone updated.

Cally and her little friend Luca

Last month my parents came to visit us and it was so great to have them around to help out and to have some company. They enjoyed the scenery and walking but most of all I think they enjoyed seeing and playing with their granddaughter…..oh and seeing Eric and I also. Grandma and Grandpa were able to stay long enough to celebrate Cally’s 1^st birthday and it was so nice to have them be able to be here.

Birthday Cake!

After my parents left it was back to normal. Eric has been very busy with school and has been working so hard to make sure that he does well. Lately I have been missing him a ton as he usually only comes home for meals and short breaks to play with Cally. Cally I know is very much missing her Dad and we can’t wait to have a break in December. I know it is hard on Eric to have to be away from his family so much but he is doing what he needs to do to succeed and we are here to support him.

Cally loves her Dad, but not his mustache

Grandma and Grandpa visiting

Cally is a very smart and busy girl. I enjoy watching her explore and taking her first steps. She has just started to try and take steps with out our hands out, but sometimes gives up and goes to her bum if we try to get her to walk on her own. She can do it believe me if she is holding our hands she can boot it wherever she likes. Cally enjoys going for walks and playing with her toys. She plays very well by herself on the floor and I love watching her play and interact. Cally loves to look at books and line her stuffed toys up to play with. Her new thing is making her stuff goat trot on the floor and giving her puppy a kiss. Cally also enjoys listening to music, thanks Grandma Peggy for sending the Bobs and Lolo DVD it is Cally’s favorite. Maybe because that is the only kids DVD that we have and Cally loves it!!! .  I am in disbelief some days that in only a few months Cally will be a big sister. I know she will be a great big sister and look forward to the new adventure of being a parent of 2.

Early morning Daddy time

Reading to her all her guys

Good thing Mommy has a nice tummy to hold Cally up!

Beach time!

I took Cally to the beach for the first time on Saturday with another family. Cally very much enjoyed splashing in the water and playing with the wet sand. That was the first time that I have taken her and we had a blast. I am hoping during break maybe the whole family can go there and explore the water and relax. It isn’t a nice white tropical beach, but it was still fun to play and explore in the water. Cally enjoyed herself and that is all that matters.
