Weekend Wrap-Up

My Dad is a TECHNOLOGY GENIUS and was able to recover our pictures!!!! Whew! Lesson learned: BACK-UP BACK-UP BACK-UP.

As I mentioned before, we had a WONDERFUL weekend with family. We went to the Renaissance Festival, ate a lot, hung out at the condo downtown, and at the Gosselins.

And a big PROPS to my sister Laura for passing the Bar Exam! She took it in July and just found out on Friday that she passed. Woohoo!!!

We love family time!

Finally, I'd like to give a shout out to my dear friend and college roomate (and loyal blog follower!)Melissa. She gave birth to a little baby boy, Theodore (Teddy) Robert, early this morning. So exciting!!!! She lives out in NY, so we won't be able to see him any time soon, but can't wait to see pictures. Congrats Melissa and Bobby!

It's Not Looking good...

Well, our computer is with Dr. Bops and things aren't looking so hot. There's a good chance we'll lose our pictures. Thankfully all the good ones are on Facebook or Shutterfly. So I really shouldn't freak out too much. It still is a bummer though.

Anyway...we had a wonderful weekend with family. I'll post tomorrow with pictures from either my work laptop or Chris'.

Computer Crisis

I am blogging fom my iPod right now because our laptop has decided to freak out and put up a bunch of error messages instead of turning on. I, in turn, am trying NOT to freak out since our billions of pictures of Callie are on this laptop. So any computer gurus out there...I may be calling on your services.

Anyway, the great news about this weekend is that both of my sisters are home! We are heading to the Rennaissance Fair to watch my cousin Andy and his wife Beth sing in a madrigal group there.

Have a great weekend!

2 Daddies?

Callie has recently started really noticing who's who (or who's not) Mommy, Daddy, her grandparents, etc. I think we're going to be starting some major stranger anxiety here pretty soon. But because she now notices who people are, something kind of funny happened tonight.

It is probably fairly obvious if you follow the blog (or know us!) that Chris has a twin brother, Dan. Dan came over tonight to hang out. When he got here Chris wasn't home. Dan came in and Callie went right to him and they were playing and having fun. Then we put Callie in her pink exersaucer thing for a bit and Chris walked in. It was HILARIOUS watching her look at Chris, then at Dan, then back at Chris, then back at Dan. You could just see the wheels spinning in her little head (well, big head) as she tried to figure out what the heck was going on.

She soon went back to her playing, but those few moments of utter baby confusion made us all chuckle. And, of course, I just had to snap a picture of her and the boys.

98th Percentile Head

Callie had her 9-month check up today and here are her stats:

Weight: 20 pounds (69th %ile)
Length: 27.25 inches (46th %ile)
Head Circumference: 47 centimeters (98th %ile!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Her height and weight continues to become more "normal" but she's staying strong in the large head department! And happy about it.


When the doctor saw the graph of her head circumference over time, the mark for today was way above the trend lines (somehow last time she was only in the 80%ile or something), so she redid the measurement. And she got the same measurement the nurse did! She figures the measurement done last time was wrong...and that Callie just has a big head!

Everything else is great...we are blessed to have a happy, healthy baby.

Pictures

For every picture that I post on the blog, there are 5-10 more in the "series" of shots that I took. So I updated my Shutterfly site for ALL the pictures from September. You can find them here if you're interested:

Have a great Monday!

Flying Solo

Chris was on an overnight fishing adventure this weekend so it was just me and the girls. But not really because we managed to keep very busy!

My small group girls came over Saturday night and we had a wonderful time hanging out, eating and catching up until almost midnight! Charlie and Callie got to hang out and they were adorable as usual:



Today Callie, Kona and I went with Bob and Mary on our usual trek to the apple orchard near Taylor's Falls! We met up with some cousins and Uncle Dan. It was a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L day!!!






It was a fun weekend but we missed Daddy and are glad he's home!

Here's a long(er) video I took this morning after bath time:
