2 Months!!!

Wow! Time really flies.....
Callie is officially 2 months old and continues to amaze us every day.

 Here's some updates about our little bug:
  • She weighs 11 lbs 8 oz  which puts her in the 67 percentile. She continues to be a long, tall child (not sure who she is getting that from) and is in the 95 percentile for length.
  • She has officially found her hands and is starting to control them much more. She has started sucking on her hands - can't quite find her fingers, so as of right now, she is shoving her entire fist in her mouth.
  • She is starting to rub her eyes when she gets tired (much more helpful to me - as she can tell me much better what she needs)
  • Continues to love tummy time and can officially hold her head up!
  • Sleeps through the night for the most part (YEA!) - she goes to sleep about 7:45 and will sleep until about 4 or 5 in the morning and feed, then go back down until 7:30 or 8. Still does not cry to wake us up (grunts instead) which I am sure will change when we put her in her own room. We are working really hard on her getting herself to sleep so have started putting her down when she is drowsy with limited success - sticking with it though 
  • Does a great job tracking things - especially mommy and daddy and her favorite star.
  • Continues to smile at things around her!
    • Got her first shots this week! Ouch!

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

9 Months

It's hard to believe that in 3 months our beautiful daughter will be 1 year old! How fast time flies (and how quickly she changes). Here's some updates (on our very big bug): She weighs in at a whopping 20 lb 13 oz (81% percentile) and continues to be VERY long, measuring in at 29.75 inches (98% percentile). Again, we are not sure who she got that gene from. She now not only can get herself down from the standing position but she also has had a few moments when she has stood totally by herself. On Mother's Day she stood for a good 5 seconds all by herself. Daycare tells us that she now uses other kids heads to help herself stand up (sorry!). She can also walk along the couch or another long piece of furniture. Today I was cooking dinner (Callie is often very content playing in the kitchen with "non toys" while I cook) and I looked over and she was pushing the kitchen chair across the floor. I was so excited, I made her do it again so I could video tape it ...
