Doggies

We went to meet baby Charlie tonight and saw what a difference 20 weeks makes in the life of a baby!




Callie noticed their dog Crosby an started laughing at him. This was the first time she has reacted to any animal.

So of course when we got home we had to see what she'd do with Kona, and it was great!

And I'll leave you with a picture of our Chunky Monkey:



Look at those rolls!

Busy Weekend!

We weren't home much this weekend! Went to a couple parties on Saturday and a few places today for Mother's Day. Here are some pics from the weekend:

Happy Mother's Day!

I couldn't resist the "I Love Mommy" shirt. But I wish it said "I love Mommy and MorMor and Grandma and Nana and Great-Grandma and Great-Grammy"!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers and grandmas and greatgrandmas out there!

And I want to give a special shout-out to my good friend Jenna who gave birth to little Charlie yesterday just in time for Mother's Day! Congrats Andy and Jenna!

Hard Work

It is super hard work to be a baby...you can just see her trying to figure everything out. And at the end of the video she finally does!

Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

We had a 5 de mayo celebration at school today which put me in the mood for Mexican food. So my friend Adrea came over and we decided to go to El Loro in Eagan for dinner...with the baby. We got there and it was PACKED. And I couldn't figure it out. People were wearing sombreros, drinking beer, and being crazy. So we start to fight the crowds at the door (with a baby in a big carrier and diaper bag, mind you) until I remember..."DUH! It's cinco de mayo!" Of COURSE a Mexican restaurant will be nuts. At that moment I felt like an idiot AND an airhead mom. Who brings their baby to a Mexican restaurant on the craziest Mexican holiday of the year? :) So we ended up at a very NON-Mexican restaurant Jake's and had a lovely dinner which my beautiful baby slept through.

Now that I write the story it doesn't seem as funny as it was to us at the time... but the combination of lugging all the baby stuff around, the crazy people in sombreros with beer, and the fact that I had just spent ALL DAY doing cinco de mayo stuff made my choice to go to a Mexican restaurant on this day seem RIDICULOUS after the fact. :)

Anyway, later my silly baby would NOT fall asleep at her 8:00pm bedtime! She was laughing, cooing, and moving around. And I was loving it! How can you make this happy little face go to sleep???



And Daddy had to miss all the fun because of two softball games in the horrible windy and cold weather!

Oh geez...I just noticed it is almost 11pm. I need to go to bed but am WOUND UP. I can only hope for this much energy tomorrow at work...

Oh, one other thing: Chris and I are going to spend the next 12 weeks before our 5th wedding anniversary doing a lot of running...we are signed up to run a half marathon on our anniversary weekend! I have been having some motivation issues so I knew I had to sign myself up for a race or I would never get my butt in gear. And I somehow managed to get Chris to join me! So Sunday starts 12 weeks of training...now I'll finally try out the jogging stroller I got for my birthday. :)

Just chillin video

Here is the video I was talking about this morning!

Tonight Callie rolled over a couple more times! She's been a fun little baby to be around...it is fascinating to watch her try and figure out the world around her. We have so much to look forward to as she gets bigger and learns more!
