Bear crawls and 7th months

Kallee is starting to hit the floor and moving about. She is using the "bear" and "Army" crawl methods combined with the body rolls.

This time though, it did not go so well for Kallee Boo.

Kallee @ Bell Square


Kallee had her first of many overnight shopping excursions this weekend. She, her mother and I went to Bellevue to do the annual Christmas shopping experience. We hit North Bend for about 6 hours and then hit Bell and Lincoln Square for another 6 hours or so. Kallee did very well but was ready to come home by the time we were through. She traveled very well and except she was not a fan of the pass. Her ears must have hurt her.

Kallee loved to try and grab they things that she liked. I do not think that Kallee will ever have a problem telling everyone what she wants.

Merry Christmas From Kallee and the Gebers

Kallee eating Sweet Potatos

Boo's 1st Thanksgiving

Kallee had her first thanksgiving and I believe that it was a big success.  She was very happy and got to move around from person to person.  Kallee even got her first taste of sweet potato's which did not go down very well.  She is still not a big fan of foods.  Rice cereal, peas, and sweet potato's have all been busts so far.  She is still is a bottle baby.  

On the other hand, Kallee is learning how to get around.  Kallee can move by rolling on the ground and she does it very well.  She moves all over our family room moving from object to object looking for something to put in her mouth.  Speaking of her mouth, she now has TWO TEETH.  She is starting the second growing phase.  

Kallee is no where near the slobber faced person Jayden was... in fact she is relatively drool free at this point...  Her two front bottom teeth give her smile some added features.  When she looks at me and sees me and then gives me that smile, that makes a father very happy.  

Now back to the mobile phase.  Kallee is racing around my parents Kitchen as they have a baby walker and she has taken to it like Jayden has taken to his quad.  She is a mover and a shaker... just moving and driving her walker all around.  

At this time of the year it is good to reflect on all that has been good,  I am thankful for so many blessings.  Our house is a house full of love and energy... (mostly from the two younger ones).  Kallee was brought to our family, and the blessings she has brought have been awesome.  Jayden is growing and is as active as ever.  We have had many adventures together.. I have a wonderful wife who forgives my bad attitudes and grumpiness.  We have Parents/Grandparents that give of themselves so much and love our children like their own.  Our life is full of hope and love... Thank you Lord for the blessings upon us,,, and help me not to screw it up.

Here is to a great Christmas season and a very Happy new year...
