Alarms will sound if a baby is taken through restricted doors.) Finally, two of Callie's biological aunts, who helped care for the child last summer, have filed for visitation rights...

Tommy Rogers says Becca is a backyard daredevil on her blue-and-orange Big Wheel cycle, a sparkling child with a taste for pepperoni pizza, who is "growing like a little weed."
