More walking... and the first-time troublemaker...

Everyone said once Calista took her first steps she'd be "off and running in no time." She's actually decided to prove everyone wrong and take her time with it, which is fiiiiine with us. Some days she is not really into it at all, and other days, she is willing to experiment with those little feet. Here's a video from last night...

In other news, Callie got "in trouble" for the first time the other night. She had Ken's phone and somehow kept pushing the buttons to connect it to the Internet. I managed to keep pushing "end" on the phone while she was holding it to keep it from connecting, but one of the times she started loading the Internet, her hand was covering the "end" button, so I took the phone away to push the "end" button. I was going to try to figure out how to lock his phone and give it right back to her, but then she SCREEEEEEAMED at me for taking the phone from her. It was definitely a scream that made both Ken and I drop our jaws. I mean, this girl has cried before, but this was very different. She was SO mad at me, and the angry, nasty scream shocked both of us.

I took her chin in my fingers and turned her head toward me and said "NO" in a firm voice. Well, that must have just been the end of the world, because the wail she let out when I told her "no" was soooooo dramatic and loud, you could probably have heard her down the street. She was just beside herself. Of course, she goes crawling over to her Daddy, sobbing (thanks kid), and I'm just picturing all the things she wants to say to him ("Mommy is the meanest Mommy in the world...").

In the end, we kissed and made up, and I'm traumatized for life, scared of the next time I have to tell her "no." I'm pretty sure next time I'll let Ken be the bad guy.
