2 Months Old!!!

Blog Post by Kati:

It is February 22nd which makes Callie officially 2 months old!

Today (and Friday) are my last days at home with her, so I wanted to make today a fun day! We played with the play gym before her morning nap. Then after her nap I decided to break out the Baby Bjorn (a really nice baby carrier) and we took Kona for a walk! It was great to get out of the house.



She liked it! She fell asleep. :)

Then we went and played in her crib and she loved looking at the mobile again. Here she is in her crib wearing the cute new outfit Grandma got her:



After that she fell asleep in her crib and I tried out our baby "surveillance" system! We have a video monitor so I was able to go downstairs and get some dishes done and monitor her at the same time...her first big girl nap!

Happy 2 month birthday Callie!

Busy!

Blog Post by Kati:

We've actually been pretty busy the past few days! Lots going on on Friday (walking at MOA, hanging out with friends in multiple locations), cleaning on Saturday (and more hanging out with friends!), and delicious lunch at the Gosselins today along with more hanging out with friends tonight! It has made for a really fun weekend, though it has gone by way too fast. Tomorrow is my last official day as a stay-at-home mom. :( Tuesday is going to be really hard so I ask for your thoughts and prayers that day! Since I am going to a three-day training, I actually get time for lunch (I think an hour or so!). Therefore I'm having Chris and Callie meet us so I can see her in the middle of the day. That will help ease the transition a little bit...

Here are a couple of photos from this weekend and a cute video:

Crib Time

Where is the time going????????????

Anyway...yesterday Callie slept a LOT of the day. She was up late the night before so she was super tired. One of the times that she was asleep I put her in crib for the first time (she still sleeps in a Pack 'n Play in our room at night). When she woke up she saw the mobile going and was a happy little girl!

Toys and Naptimes

Blog Post by Kati:

Callie and I had a lot of fun this morning playing with her play gym. She still hasn't really figured out that there are toys hanging from it, but I think she's getting close...she accidentally hits them with her flailing appendages!



She was in between outfits after doing an EPIC poop through her first outfit of the day! And I just thought she was so cute in her onesie that I had to get some pictures...so into the play gym she went! :) Look at those chubby legs! Here is a video (I know...obsessive with the videos...but I just can't help myself!):

So we had a really good play time which means a really good nap time needs to follow. That is what I was trying to tell her, and at first she was basically saying "Haha funny, MOM...not gonna happen!" but I prevailed as shown by yet ANOTHER video:

Success! The nap time score: Mom=1, Baby=0! I have a feeling that as time goes by, the score will be very different! :)

2 Month Doctor Visit

Blog Post by Kati:

Callie had her 2 month well child visit today. She was not a happy camper!!! But she is perfect and healthy. She weighs 12 pounds 2 ounces and is 23 1/4 inches long. That puts her in the 90 %ile for both weight and height! Not a surprise seeing as I took this picture of her this morning:



HAHAHAHA...such an adorable chunk. And a bad camera angle. :)

I'm getting good at typing one-handed. I have her in one arm while listening to lullabies on pandora.com and trying to get her to sleep.

We went to my school this morning so I could introduce her to some of my students. She was awake and happy. The kids loved seeing her and informed me that her hands and face look like mine. :) I go back to work on Tuesday (which makes me want to cry every time I think about it) but seeing the kids was a good way to start the transition in my brain. Thank goodness for her daddy and grandparents for doing daycare while she is still so little!!! My mom is taking her on Mondays and Fridays, Chris is taking her Tuesdays, Mary is taking her Wednesdays and Bob is taking her Thursdays. We are so unbelievably lucky to have so much help and support.

And finally...here is a cute video from this morning:

8 Weeks Old!!!!!

Blog Post by Kati:

Unbelievable. 8 weeks ago we were in the hospital having our baby. It is hard to imagine life before Callie...it is just so much better now!

She was a good girl today. We went to my doctor for my postpartum check up and she charmed everyone!

Here is a family picture on her 8 week birthday:

Valentines Day

Blog Post by Kati:

We have had a good Valentines weekend! Last night Chris and I went out to dinner and to Target while Grandma and Grandpa babysat. We went to Good Earth (yum...thanks Cathleen!). And at Target our first stop was the baby clearance section where we found two cute little outfits for like $2 each. It was nice to get out without lugging around the baby carrier, but we were very excited to get back to our little girl.

Today was our first church service with a baby. She did great! Slept right through it! We are hanging out today and watching the Olympics.

Here is a video we took on Friday of Callie talking to Grandpa!
