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!

Finally, another cute video:

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:



Meeting Baby Wes! Our next door neighbors had a baby last Thursday the 25th and we went over there tonight to meet him:

Busy Weekend

Blog Post by Kati:

Wow! I have barely gotten a chance to be on the computer all weekend! Friday we went to my parents' house and out to dinner. Callie was so difficult at dinner as usual:

Haha. Clearly I'm kidding.

We also watched some Olympics, though I find myself being much more entertained by the baby:


Saturday was busy- chiropractor appointment and lunch (which she also slept through!), Target and Babies R Us with my parents to get them stuff for watching Callie, then to the Gosselins for a bit...and then to the Koch's house for a Valentines party! Callie was a hit! And a very good baby...and it was another excuse to wear her Valentines outfit again:


Today we went to church. She didn't sleep through it this time, but was awake and busy! But not noisy...whew. After lunch at Bruegger's (yet another meal she slept through!) we went to Dan's place to watch the USA/Canada hockey game. Bummer USA. We're just at home for a little bit before heading to Jenna and Andy's house for a bit to hang out with our small group.

I start back at school tomorrow full time. It is going to be back to reality- seriously. :(

Finally, a cute video that I took sometime this weekend (this one from Shutterfly):

Big Girl!

Blog Post by Kati:

Little Punkin Head is growing so big and wanting to start doing "big girl" stuff! Many times when she is alert and awake, she just wants to stand up!

Notice how adorable her onesie is? We have quickly learned that the Target baby section is totally dangerous for the wallet. I mean- how can you NOT get an "I Love Mommy" onesie for $4.00???? (And a few more other cute ones too...?) I'm going to have to start learning some self control ASAP. :)

Soooo sleepy!


I made it through my 3 day training and now have a 3 day weekend! The true test starts next week when I have very full and busy days back at work. And the grandparents get to start daycare next week! I think they are VERY excited. :) And we are VERY excited that they are doing it!

200th Post!

Blog Post by Kati:

Yep, this is the 200th post! Crazy!

So I've had 2 really boring days back at it- I've been at a special ed audit training. Sounds thrilling, right? It was absolutely horrible leaving yesterday morning. Lots of tears. But Chris brought Callie for lunch yesterday and today so that was wonderful. I have one more half day of the training tomorrow and then am off on Friday before going back to actual work on Monday.

Here is a cute picture from yesterday evening:



Callie did really well with her daddy the past two days (of course!). He texted me pictures and updates throughout the day. Now she's napping hard after eating a lot and spitting up on 2 different outfits and a onesie! I finally stopped putting clothes on her for awhile until I was sure she was done spitting up. :) So I got to hold a cute baby in just a diaper for awhile which is always fun.
