Calla is not talking or walking yet, but she is definitely moving in both directions. She has started sticking out her tongue, making "el" sounds a bit, and saying "buh" on occasion. Calla can sit by herself, unsupported, for up to a minute or so before tipping over, which is extremely impressive to see. She is also very dexterous, passing things from hand to hand very readily.
Calla is a good eater. She enjoys all kinds of foods, and doesn't refuse anything, even if she doesn't immediately love them. Carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, prunes, apples, pears, squash, blueberries, spinach, and all manner of cereals fear her, with reason.
It turns out that Calla is loves animals, much like her Dad. She loves our dog Chloe and watches her every second when she is in the room. The cat is also an area of intrigue, but she (the cat) is less likely to make herself available for inspection. Here is a pic that demonstrates Calla's love for Chloe:
Here is a recent video of Calla "reading." Enjoy!

It's nice to hear from you. Sounds like things are going well - and she's beautiful as ever :)
I can't say this out loud anymore but we think she is the cutest baby in the whole world.
And we think her choice of reading material is indicative of her future love of libraries and academics and the search for knowledge.
And then there is the love of good cuisine. She will have expensive tastes and it may be best if you continue to include the oatmeal (gruel) in her diet to remind her of her humble, but wonderful origins.

Hi Joe, Kathy, Calla! Anna just gave me your blogspot again and I did so enjoy watching Calla 'read'! What a darling, beautiful baby you have! And obviously brilliant! I'll check in every once in a while, so keep those pictures coming, Joe!
