Look A-like’s

  Callie 10 weeks

2011_10_13_6007 Carter, 12 weeks

Summer 2008 I guess 034

Besides the  dimples, I’d say they look pretty similar! Carter was also a little chubbier at this age ( I think he is 12 weeks in this picture and Callie now is 11 weeks!), but you can definitely see a resemblance!

Family Photo’s

 

Our weekend was pretty laid back. Saturday Carter and I ventured out to Mikey’s football game at Milton Somers. We had a lot of fun together and got to spend some quality mother/ son time thanks to Grammy :) Then on Sunday, we decided to go outside and get some pictures done. It was such a pretty day out, we couldn't miss the opportunity! Plus, its been too long since we’ve taken any and now that Callie is here with us, we needed some up to date pic’s with our girl :)

But as you can see, the kids weren’t really behaving lol…. Carter wasn’t in the mood for pictures most of the time and neither was Callie! But hey, there’s always next time!2011_10_16_6067

Baby Talk

 

Here is a video of our baby girl cooing and babbling :) I love her little speaks and squeals, she has the sweetest voice! She’s been smiling since about 7 weeks old, but around 8 and 1/2 weeks she started to talk back to us here and there, and now she won’t stop!!

Callie’s 2 month doctor appointment!

 

Today was Callie’s 2 month doctor check up. Its hard to believe that two months have come and gone already! Its bitter sweet because I love watching her grow and change everyday, but I’m sad to see my maternity leave coming to an end :( I guess I just have to soak up and enjoy every last day that I have with her until the end of the month!

Our baby girl is growing so big! She is weighing in at 9lbs 11oz and is 22 inches long! She is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 50th for height. The doctor was very pleased with her growth and said she is doing wonderfully :) He examined her and she is developing right on track. She got all of her 2 month shots today, poor girl. She did so good in the office and was sitting on my lap so peacefully when the nurse stuck her with the first shot and her little face wrinkled up and the tears started flowing :( I almost started crying, ugh, I hate shots! But, its over now and we don't have to worry about it again for another 2 months!

We stopped by Olivia’s to visit before her appointment! Here are the pictures from our visit :)

It’s Been Weeks!

Shame on me for letting it go this long! But, with Callie having colic (yes, unfortunately she likes to cry just like big brother did) its hard to find the time! And whatever quiet time I do get, I usually spend it cleaning..running errands..or just trying to get some “me time”.

Anyway, I have a lot to update on, so here it goes….

These last few weeks have been pretty crazy around here. First, We had to deal with an earth quake! I still can’t believe it happened, but no damage was done. next came a hurricane-I officially hate the name Irene now! And finally, a flash flood! For a while there, it was like we couldn't catch a break…

during the hurricane, Brandy, Ryder, and Maisy decided to sleep over our house :) it was our first sleep over ever and even though we lost power… they made the time lots more fun!!

This weekend marked the one where this quiet little princess decided she wanted to show us just how loud she can get! I guess God thinks I am tough enough to handle colicky babies! The next few weeks were hard…trying to get used to the screaming again after a 3 year break wasn’t and still isn’t easy, but were making it through one day at a time!

2011_08_27_5874

There is one amazing thing that has happened in the last two weeks that's made the crying 10 times more bearable though…my baby girl is smiling at us :)  I don't have a picture of it yet because it usually disappears just as quickly as it comes, but I am working on it! She is also cooing up a storm! Her voice is so sweet and soft, video coming soon, promise!

Big brother is also being wonderful with his sis! He helps me bathe her, feed her, gets me diapers on call, and even helps me change the poopy diapers! Callie doesn’t realize how lucky she is yet ;)

I am typing this with one hand because little miss just wants me to hold her, that's why i am cutting this long update short. Here are some pictures from the last few weeks…more to come soon!

3 & 1/2 weeks old :)

2011_08_31_5878

She likes white noise sounds, the fan on the microwave, and the vacuum…. just like big brother, these sounds help calm her crying!

My poor girl had thrush….but we got medicine for it and its much better now! This picture is when it was bad looking….
