Callia Updates: 10mths.. almost
ok.. so its now 4:14am.. and I’m curiously going through my blog posts and have realised its been over a month since I last blogged about Callia.. time seems to escape ya when ya trying to just get through the days.. and omg!.. she’s growing so quick… just last week.. ‘cos I had some awkward shifts.. I didn’t get to hold my lil munchkin for over 24 hours!! O.O .. she was sleeping when I got home.. and I was outta the flat before she woke.. once I did get to catch up with her.. it was like I missed so much! *pouts* ..not to worry.. this easter weekend has certainly made up for it 
Anyways.. Callia’s almost into her 10th month.. and quite a bit has been happening..
* she now has 6 teeth.. with very possibly another 2 on their way (she has been incredibly grizzly this arvo.. a lot more than usual)
* she’s eating more now.. as in quantities as well as new foods… she can get through a whole banana.. and almost have an entire piece of toast.. she’s also taking in more Heinz baby foods.. ooh! we also got her started on Heinz Little Kids Strawberry Fruit Bars.. and Heinz Little Kids Honey & Oat Bikkies… she loves them!!
* she’s flying about the place as far as crawling is concerned.. she’s got that mastered.. she also has, in the last couple of weeks, gained a lil bit of confidence in standing.. and has managed to stand unaided for over a minute (not holding onto anything for balance!).. she’s attempting to take her first solo steps.. which is amazing..
* she has said her first word!!! .. and it was ‘mum-mum’ *beams* she said it over a week ago.. but with not having much time to get on the pute, I haven’t been able to get on here and brag about it all 
..needless to say daddy was a lil disheartened that mum-mum came out before ‘da-da’..bless him.. hehe
* she has started to clap along to music and dance.. this is something that’s started happening in the last week and a half.. and what’s even more amazing.. is she actually claps to a beat!.. our girl has nice timing hehe ..she now understands the word ‘clap’.. and 8 times out of 10.. when ya say ‘clap’ .. she’ll start clapping.. she’s sooo cute!!
* for the first time.. we’re finally seeing her really.. as in really really.. respond to music, tv shows and whatnot… and she lurves ‘Dorothy the Dinosaur‘.. she goes mental when it comes on.. I’ve never seen her get so excited 
* she went for her first swim today.. and loved it! ..we stayed overnight with Lee ‘n Tiff @ Tiff’s dad’s place.. (he lives in an apartment block which also houses a gym ‘n swimming pool etc) ..we have pictures.. but seeing as I’m using Lee’s laptop at the minute.. I have no access to those pictures to post just yet.. but they will be posted 
Callia amazes me, she’s so clever.. so happy.. it’s refreshing.. and it’s so incredibly rewarding to watch her grow every single day.. I’m sure she’s done more.. but its now 4:40am.. and we’re meant to be meeting dad for lunch tomorrow @ 11:30am.. so it’s best I get some rest.. plus Callia will be awake for 6am.. her ickle early-morn drinky-poos.. *chuckles*
..we adore her.. our gorgeous lil muffin, bless her
..stay tuned for further updates and recent pics!
