First Stroller Ride and GG arrives!

GG arrived late last night to a very fussy Callie who wasn't in a friendly mood. This morning she woke up and was still pretty fussy but happy to be held and rocked by GG.
We took her out for her first walk in the stroller since she was already sleeping in her carseat when we arrived home from the grocery store. GG walked the dogs and I pushed the stroller. Callie slept the whole way in her blanket that great grandma Kay made her. It went really well,. We will see how it goes when I have to walk both dogs and the baby by myself! Lots more adventures to come with GG visiting and grandpa arrives Saturday to see her for the first time.

Tia Eliana

Eliana came over to help out with Callie today since she finished school. It gave me a chance to do laundry, dishes and take a long shower. Callie wasn't perfect but not too fussy. Here she is sleeping which was at least for a little while :)

One Month Old! (Updated photos)

Today Callie is one month old. I can hardly believe it, although sometimes it seems longer when you think of sleepless nights and screaming. She is growing fast and slowly yet surely doing better.
I tried to take some photos today so we can document her growing over the first year at each month mark. Auntie Taylor bought us these cool stickers for her onsies. Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to know the iPhone was upside down and you can't flip the photos!! So for now check these out and then I'll post the others from my camera on the computer tomorrow .
Also I tried to get one with this beautiful hydrangea but by this point she was having a meltdown. Nice try..

Little Girl, Big Bed

We haven't even attempted to transition Callie to her bassinet now that she has a cold. I'm waiting until I have a full nights rest and am ready to stick with it and get her to sleep there no matter what one night. Right now I'm still to exhausted and would just give in just to get some sleep. She sure does like our bed. This morning I got up to get ready to go to the dr (again for me and the stitches, what a nightmare). Anyways, she kept sleeping by herself in this giant bed. Feels pretty tight when me, Juan and Callie share but all alone she's just a peanut!!

Playing with My Toys

Today was the first day Callie was interested in playing with any of her toys. I took a short video so you can actually see her reaching for them.  She was also checking herself out in the mirror and thought that was neat.
She did puke on the nice blanket that Charlene made her, but luckily baby puke isn't too bad and doesn't stain.

4 Weeks Old

Callie is 4 weeks old today!  Can't believe that 4 weeks have already passed and we are almost at the one month mark.  She sure is getting big fast, but we are anxious that she will outgrow the crying at night and puking soon.

First Nap in My Crib

Callie took her first nap in her crib which is actually a really big deal because she can't lay flat without puking usually. It only lasted 20 min but I got to use the baby monitor for the first time too. We will keep trying for longer.
