Miles and Callie are TEN months old now and getting into all kinds of trouble.
Miles is up to no good as he is obsessed with closing doors lately. He also has a real crowd pleaser of a trick when we tell him, "no, no, no" and he swings his head from side to side. He's become an excellent sleeper- not sure when that happened exactly but we don't question these things anymore. He now has six adorable teeth that are spread out and gappy in the cutest way. He likes to nap and loves to eat. He is mostly serious until I tickle his belly then he gets this rolling laugh going that melts your heart.
Callie girl, she's a firecracker. Still sitting with eight teeth, perfectly spaced and aligned. Hair as wild as she is. I've actually tried to tame it and it just gets messy. She is usually cracking up or copying the fun sounds Lucy is teaching her. She clicks her tongue and tells you awwwww. She sounds sarcastic when she mimics your laugh with her, 'Ha. Ha. Ha." She is the quickest cord catcher in the county. It's like she's on a mission to figure out what electronic is plugged into which outlet. She eats as much as Miles but in a much less dramatic fashion (she saves the drama for throwing a fit.) She gives kisses but also throws a mean fit including putting her face straight down into the floor. She laughs easy, but will also scream if you don't give her THAT RIGHT NOW!!!! She's also gotten into a habit of waking at midnight and three and then sleeping in until 8:30, so I guess I'll take it. It's so funny to me that Lucy has hardly a nickname to claim- and that's how I envisioned it happening..... but between me, Matt and Lucy- Callie already has a handful of nicknames to listen for. Callie girl, Callie O'Mallie, California, SuperCallieFragilistic, Cal, Calla Lilly, Wild Child and Callie-ally. Miles has it a little easier, he is Miles, or Smiles, and Lucy's nickname for him is Mile-ser with a Monster Miles or Mister thrown in there occasionally.
Lucy is loving quarantine and having my attention almost constantly...but has also asked when the germs will be cleaned up so we can go play with other friends and get back to school. She is such a fun kid, but I'm looking forward to being done with Sofia the First and all those made up words. Lucy is always explaining to me what these ridiculous made up words mean and I'm kinda over it....
But we have been having fun. Lots of outside time, lots of activities, and lots of telling Lucy that she's not the boss.
