Birthday Festivities
We had a WONDERFUL day yesterday celebrating Callie Joy's birthday. It must have been a good day, because she didn't wake up to eat until 6:30 this morning, and went back down and is STILL sleeping at 8:15am!
Our families came over last night for a sandwich dinner, cupcakes and presents. Callie was a little overwhelmed at first having most of her favorite people all together (we missed you Auntie Laura!), but she quickly warmed up and had fun seeing everyone.
She (maybe) enjoyed her cupcake (made by MorMor)...it was hard to tell. She seemed rather passe about the whole thing, but did end up eating a few little bites on her own. The rest of us devoured them, though! Yum!
What she L-O-V-E-D were the presents! She got quite a nice haul and immediately started playing with everything. Chris and I got her a push toy for our house, and Grandma and Grandpa got her a push toy for their house. She tried both of them out, and boy was she cruising!
And after walking with the push toys, she seemed a little more willing to try it on her own.
Here are a couple of pictures from the night, and then the link to all of the pictures on our Shutterfly site.

Mommy and Daddy!
At 7:55pm...the exact time she was born a year ago.
The rest of the pictures can be found at Shutterfly. For some reason when I loaded the pictures this morning they were put in to 2 different albums, so here are the links for both:

Thanks to everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and birthday greetings! Now, as you can see from the updated blog header, we're ready for life with a 1-year-old!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALLIE JOY!
I've been thinking about this post in my head for a week now. How can I possibly sum up everything I'm feeling? How can simple words do justice to the emotions I feel thinking back on the past year?
They can't. So I'll be brief.
Callie Joy,
One year ago today you came into so many people's lives. And you brought with you your middle name...Joy.
Know that you are loved beyond what words can say. Know that you are adorable, intelligent, loving, sweet, happy, silly, precious, curious, awesome, fabulous and just the most perfect baby any Mommy and Daddy could ask for.
We love you little Punkin Head and Monster,
Mommy and Daddy

Philly!
Reasons why I'm thankful:
1) Cal and I are home safe from a wonderful trip with my fabulous mother-in-law and sister-in-law,
2) I took a shower a little nap after a long travel day,
3) Currently, I'm hanging out with Chris, Callie and Kona,
4) I'm watching crazy people on T.V. at the Vikings game while cozy in my own home,
5) I get to spend the next 13 days with my family and friends while on Christmas Break,
6) My baby turns 1-year-old in 2 days!!!
Mary, Cathleen and I had a blast in PA (and NJ and NY)! We got to see Cathleen graduate (well, Mary did...Callie Joy wasn't too into the idea of sitting quietly during a graduation ceremony, so we watched part of it on a video screen in another room and then slept during the other part of it).
We also got to hang out in the hotel and swim, exploring New Jersey and a cute town in Pennsylvania, Cathleen and I got to go to New York City, and we all got to spend good quality time together!
Here are a few of my favorite pictures, and then a link to the rest of them if you're interested.

We made it home before the snow got too bad and I will post later after I'm out of the up at 3:45am, long flight with a semi-crabby baby fog.

Cuddlebug and Big Girl Jammies
Today Callie didn't really take an afternoon nap for Grandma, so we put her down at 6:00 because she was C-R-A-B-B-Y CRABBY! She slept for 1.5 hours and I ended up getting her up so that she wouldn't keep sleeping and ready to play at 3am.
As she slowly woke up, she was a total cuddlebug and I ATE IT UP!!!! She is not one to sit still and cuddle...hardly ever...so this was a rare blessing.
Then I put her in her biggest jammies. The 12-monthers are getting a little small, so 18-monthers are in now! And she only has 1 pair, so we'll need to stock up.
I remember when she got these jammies. They were a gift from one of my relatives and I remember thinking at the time (she was brand new and tiny) that it would be FOREVER until she fit into them.
Forever is now:
