We made it safely home and Callie did ALMOST as good on the plane today as she did on Saturday. She was a little more fussy, but nothing a little breastfeeding or cuddling couldn't handle. Whew! I said in my post last night that she was an amazing baby, and here's the list of things we did to demonstrate why:
SATURDAY
*Woke up at 5:30am to fly out of MSP to Chicago-Midway
*Took a long train ride/walk to Laura's apartment (stroller ride)
*Went to lunch (slept through the meal)
*Hung out in the Baby Bjorn with either me, Chris or Laura for 3+ hours while sightseeing (the Bean/Millenium park, mini-golf, LOTS of walking)
*Played in the hotel for a bit
*Went to dinner (stroller ride)
*Went for dessert (stroller ride)
SUNDAY
*Slept til 5:30am before waking up to eat!!!
*Went to brunch (stroller)
*Walked to graduation (in the stroller)
*Posed for lots of pictures
*Slept through graduation in the lobby with Daddy
*Walked to dinner (more stroller time)
*Slept through dinner
*Walked back to hotel (stroller)
*Went swimming!
*So tired...fell asleep early
MONDAY
*Slept til 3:30am, ate, went right back down until 7am
*Played with Mommy and Daddy on the big, comfy hotel bed
*Walked to breakfast (and more stroller time)
*Walked to Laura's apartment (stroller)
*Walked to the zoo (stroller!)
*Zoo! (a little stroller, a few arms)
*Walked back to Laura's apartment (STROLLER)
*More playtime (lots of rolling over!)
*Walking/Train rides to airport (S..T..R..O..L..L..E..R)
*Airplane ride home
Whew!
Thankfully she loved to take naps during a lot of her stroller times. Other times she was content to just look around at the world. Not ONCE did she have a meltdown. And we were able to time nursing her in between the various activities, so even that was easy! She was the most perfect baby!
The link to all of our Chicago pictures are here in the Chicago-May 2010 folder:
And finally, a video of Callie getting in the the pool for her first swim (in a swimming suit that I wore as a baby, as did my two sisters)!

Perfectly Portable!
We have had a wonderful time in Chicago this weekend! Callie Joy has been AMAZING. We have been able to do so much and she just troops along in her stroller or the Baby Bjorn. As I blogged before she has had many firsts this trip. Here are a few pictures:
Plane Ride!
The Bean!
Hotel Stay!
Swimming!
This is just a sampling of our pictures. I'll be putting them in an online album on Shutterfly sometime in the next couple of days. I'll post the link when I'm done! As to be expected, probably 95% of the photos that have been taken so far this weekend are of Callie, not the graduate. But she doesn't seem to mind. :)

Chicago Bound
I'm at the start of a fabulous 4 day weekend. My sister is graduating from law school so we are heading to Chicago to see her and celebrate her awesome accomplishment! There will be lots of Callie "firsts" this weekend that will be fun to document: first plane trip, first hotel stay, first 'swim', first train ride, etc. Pray that all goes well! I'm a little nervous about the plane ride... :) And I'm still struggling with what baby items to pack...so that is my task for the day!
Speaking of baby, a certain little almost-5-month-old baby is tired and needs a nap. Here she is telling me about it:

Happy Birthday Grandpa!
May is a busy month! The day after Papa's birthday is Grandpa's birthday! We just got back from a fun dinner with the Gosselin clan to celebrate.
The lucky baby gets to spend all day tomorrow with Grandpa too! :)

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!
