Easter Bunny
My mom, Callie and I were at Southdale yesterday and I saw a sign that mentioned seeing the Easter Bunny (a sign that in my previous life I would have totally ignored). But since I have a baby now, it occurred to me that I didn't need to ignore the sign! Here is the picture:
Clearly at 3 months old she already knows that this bunny is NOT the reason for the season! She was definitely just humoring me. And a funny side note- when I brought her up to the bunny I must have looked a little leery because all of a sudden from inside the bunny costume I hear, "It's okay, I'm a mama." Whew! In my head I was wondering if it was some 19 year old boy who didn't know how to hold a baby. :)

Happy Birthday HP!
Hugo Percy is 12 years old today! He doesn't have anything to do with Callie, but we set up this picture of the two of them together today. :)
Chris had the afternoon off, so we took a family trip to the dog park! We used the Baby Bjorn and had a great time in the beautiful weather!

Teething?
Well, lately we have a baby who drools through a couple of bibs a day, has been more crabby, and wants to chew on everything...all evidence points towards the fact that we now have a baby that may be teething! Thanks to the internet I found out it can start as early as 3 months, so here we go! I dug out the teethers that we have so we've started the teether try-outs to see which is Callie's favorite. So far, the squeaky giraffe an the Taggies doll are in the lead!
The green one didn't seem to make the cut...
But above all else, I think she's just excited to have new toys!
And here she is talking to one of them:

New Tricks!
I co-hosted a baby shower today with my small group girlfriends for another small group friend. They threw me a shower 3 months ago and we kept saying how crazy it was that it was 3 whole months ago (and I have a 3 month baby to prove it!) Callie did a really good job at the shower. There was a 3 WEEK old baby there, as well as a 3 YEAR old! It was kind of fun to look at them and see where we have been and where we're headed!
Anyway...after the shower Callie was entertaining Bethany, Lara and me. Actually, it was more like they were entertaining her! She was adorable! She learned some new tricks.
Here she is grunting(it is in the middle of the clip):
And here she is giggling:

Sleepy time?...No Fun time.
Blog Post by Kati:
Callie enjoys having "fun time" when she's supposed to have "sleepy time." Normally when it is 8:00pm and Chris wraps her like a burrito and has her on his lap to go to sleep, she starts smiling and cooing and being really cute. And it is hard to resist the ridiculous cuteness. So last night I thought I'd give the mobile a try to make her fall asleep.
Epic fail.
Seriously, how can you not smile at that?

3 Months Old!!!
Callie Joy is officially 3 months old today- March 22nd.
Here she is practicing her "ohs".
We have a future sports aficionado on our hands...this afternoon I was in the basement and Callie was screaming bloody murder after just eating. She was super tired from the busy weekend but was more interested in screaming than sleeping. So after a few minutes of the screaming I turned the TV on to basketball. She calmed down almost immediately and watched the game and got happy. Later, when Chris was home and was holding her, she started screaming again. So he turned her towards basketball and once again...enthralled in the game! It was so funny! (Granted, it could have been toilet paper commercials and she would have been fascinated. But it is fun to think she favors basketball like her Auntie Mari and Bops, whose birth gift to her was a little pink basketball and hoop!).
3 days until spring break and a whole 10 days with my baby! I can't wait!!!!

Baptism!
God Bless Callie Joy!
Callie was baptized today at Bethlehem and it was a fantastic day! She did such a good job during the baptism, and then slept through the rest of the church service. So for we're 3 for 3 when it comes to making it through church services with no problems. :)
We had a great lunch with family and friends after the service. Thanks to everyone who was there to celebrate with us! We're very blessed to have such a loving and supportive group of people in our lives and in Callie's life.
For once I wasn't in charge of the camera, so I don't have any pictures yet! But I'll post some as soon as I get them from other people. Special thanks to Nik Wachter for being the professional photographer. :)

Happy Birthday...
...Daddy, Uncle Dan AND Auntie Laura! It's a big day!
Callie got to see all of her birthday peeps today. We had fun going out to eat at Old Spaghetti Factory with the Gosselins and the Hendersons. Then we had cake back at the Hendersons and Callie was passed around from person to person and was quite the little entertainer!
It was a fun start to what is going to be a VERY fun and busy weekend!

12 Weeks Old!!!!
Blog Post by Kati:
Wow...we have a 12 week old baby! She's fantastic and we couldn't be more blessed. She gets bigger, stronger and more "talkative" every day. Here are five things we've learned about Callie in the past 12 weeks:
1) She thinks that getting changed is hilarious. It never fails. You put her on the changing table and she breaks out in a huge smile.
2) She looks adorable with a baby mullet.
3) When you hold her facing you she'll look everywhere BUT you. She's just so curious about the world around her.
4) She is mesmerized by black and white. She has 2 books with black and white patterns and she just stares at them.
5) She is the sweetest, silliest, cutest, funniest, best best best baby ever!
On Sunday I tried doing a baby yoga DVD that I have (it also has pregnancy yoga on it, which I never did...oops). But the baby yoga was fun because I got to use Callie to help me during some of the exercises. Like this ab workout:
And since Sunday was so beautiful, we went for a family walk...the stroller is great! We went for a long walk yesterday too. I'm so glad that it is finally nice enough out to get out of winter hibernation mode.

Happy Birthday Kona!
Blog Post by Kati:
Kona Hope is 4 years old today! We went over to the Gosselin's to celebrate.
She got her own DQ cake that she didn't get to eat- (but she did get to eat yummy treats from MorMor!)
Even though it was Kona's birthday, Callie Joy got lots of the attention. She was just so darn cute!
Here are a few pictures from the past couple of days:
We have a busy fun weekend ahead of us, so I need to go to bed! :)

Cmon weekend...
Blog Post by Kati:
I'd love for it to be Friday afternoon right now. Going back to work has been tough- even though I have been lucky enough to get baby visits a few times! And if I don't get visits, I get lots of pictures texted to me. Thank goodness for grandparents and technology! The biggest issue is that I'm so tired. I do fine during the day, but by 7pm I'm fighting sleep. It is now 9:45 and I could have gone to bed 2 hours ago. But I wouldn't trade my time with Callie at 3:30am for anything! :)
We are so lucky to have such an adorable, smiley, mellow baby as evidenced by a couple pictures:
And of course, she continues to have some serious cheeks. :)

Fast Week!
Blog Post by Kati:
Well it has been a fast and busy week! I survived being back at work...and more importantly Callie had a great first week with her various grandparent caretakers! What a lucky baby. :)
We've also been busy with lots of friends coming over. It is nice to still feel like we have somewhat of a social life, even if it occurs in our basement most of the time!
Here are a couple pictures from the week:
The princess shirt is in honor of her Auntie Laura who is running the Disney Princess Half Marathon at Disney World early tomorrow morning. Good luck Laura!!! :)
Speaking of running...I attempted my first run today since probably early June. The first 10 minutes felt great...then...it wasn't so fun! I made it 15 minutes, a little over a mile. But I started only being able to do that a few years ago and was eventually able to do a marathon, so I hope I can do that again!

10 Weeks Old!!!
Blog Post by Kati:
I know that once we have a baby over a couple of months we should just start using months to say her age, but Tuesdays are always just a little special now. I can't help but keep track of the weeks! I have been at work now for 2 days and have survived. It has been really busy catching up so time has gone by fast. And today Chris brought her in while he had lunch with his lunch buddy so I got to see her in the middle of the day. :)
I forgot to mention in my last post that Callie and I went to a baby music class with my friend Kylie and her baby Calvin (and a bunch of other older babies and toddlers). It was a blast! Here is a picture they took while we were playing the castanets:
Some more pictures from today:
