Another Snow Day!

I cannot belive that we are now up to 5 snow days in the last two weeks! And the last snow day was on Laci's 26th birthday! Laci always used to complain when we were little, because it NEVER snowed on her birthday, but we always got snow around/on my birthday. Well, turns out this year the tables have turned and she received the snow and I will not. Here are a few pictures from that eventful day.

Super Bowl Weekend

Did I watch the super bowl - no.
Did I care to - no.

Instead I worked on my pregnancy/birth scrapbook for my girl. I am so bad because I should really already have this done, but it just seems like there is never enough time in the day. And now that she is 15 months old I cannot have all of my scrap booking stuff out around her because she gets into everything! So during this week of crazy winter weather I took every opportunity - during naps and when her Daddy was home to watch her and when her MawMaw came in town on Sunday. I made some major headway. I even went back and inserted some of the blogs I wrote during my pregnancy. And for this I must apologize. After rereading a lot of my pregnancy blogs I realized that I was not the most upbeat and cheerful pregnant person. In fact, I was quite the opposite. So I am sorry for you all being subjected to my constant whining.

Back to the title of this blog, I did watch the halftime show and I wondered whether I should consider it entertaining or be worried we were being invaded by aliens. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy many a BEP song, but their costumes were horrendous! And that my friends is all I have to say about that. I must go to bed now. Goodnight!

Very Late Birthday Update

Calli is now ONE!!  Time has flown by so fast with our precious little girl.  Her birthday party was originally supposed to be outside at a park, but that day we received the strangest tornado weather in late October ever - so it ended up being moved to our house at the last moment.  Here are some pictures from her first party!

Our Sweetheart

NEW!!

So, I haven't posted a blog in nearly a year! This is ridiculous. Just goes to show that life with a little one is busy. Calli and I ventured out for the first time today since our 4-day snow madness. I am going to try to post more in the coming months. If only I could figure out how to do this from my ipad...I could manage to post more often I am sure. If anyone has any apps that they know would work, please let me know. Here is a picture of my sweet girl in the snow.

And here is another of her rolling around on the carpet once we got inside and got warm :)  

As you can see, she has grown quite a bit from my last post!

What IS that??

That is what I thought when I walked past Calli to put my sheets in the washer...

You see it?? There on the floor...

Take a closer look

Yep that's poo running down her leg. Can I get a gross?! Good thing I have yet to shampoo the carpets.

Easter Pics and then some...

I will leave the descent pictures for Connie to post, but these are two of my favorites.

Fussy Faces:

Silly-faced Levi and smiling Calli:

HAHAHAHA!! I hope this made you smile :)

Ears Pierced!

On Wednesday March 10, 2010 we got our baby girls ears pierced!! Yes, she cried, but mostly because she does not like to be forced to hold still, so needless to say she was screaming before her ears ever got pierced. But not long after this is what she looked like:





So cute in her new earrings!

Introducing Rice Cereal!

We introduced Rice cereal to Calli on Sunday and here is a brief synopsis of how things went down:

Calli says "Wow this is funny...Mommy keeps making faces at me to open my mouth"


At the end...Calli is cracking up. Apparently she enjoys being covered in cereal!

Calli says "Thank you God for this cereal, I had no idea how hungry I truly was, I LOVE this stuff!"

Random Pictures

Since I will never catch up to how many pictures I have actually taken in the vast amount of time I haven't been blogging, here are a few of my favorites of our little Calli girl.

Horrible Blogger

It is the truth, I am in fact, a horrible blogger.

I have yet to figure out how to:

• Work 40+ hours a week and spend sweet time with Calli
• Clean my house and cuddle Calli
• Make dinner on a week night and care for Calli
• Do laundry and play with Calli
• Update everyone on our life via the Internet and make Calli smile and coo

You see how everything revolves around Calli? AH...such is the life of a new mother I suppose. I don't know how to get anything done around here when I am with her. She just saps all of my attention! In a good way, most of the time :)

I may never figure this one out so if my house is less clean, I make less home-made meals, have laundry all over the place and do less blogging/posting pictures...it isn't because I don't WANT to do those things, it is simply because I love Calli and want to spend these precious moments with her watching her grow and being a working mom I just simply don't have as much time for the previous mentioned items as I did before. I will figure it out at some point I am sure, but for now please forgive me.

I haven't posted in forever so there is much to update everyone about but I don't even KNOW where to start so I think I will just go from here on forward. So here's hoping I can learn to update this thing more often!

P.S. I absolutely LOVED the crazy snow we got last week...what a wonderful pre-birthday present from God...I know he did that just for me :)

Sweeties in Sunglasses

Calli is thinking she's a rockstar

Calli & Lexi Comparison

This is a picture of me the day I came home from the hospital. I was 8lbs 15oz when I was born.


And here is Calli in the same outfit I wore home from the hospital 27 1/2 years ago. She fills it out a little more, but then again she is almost 2 months old now and probably weighs over 10 lbs!

Calli and Friends

As you may know from a several posts back, I had numerous friends who were pregnant while I was. So here are some pictures of Calli and her friends.

With Brooklyn, who is exactly 2 weeks younger than Calli:




With Riley and Jayden...all wearing bibs with my company logo, but I removed that for privacy reasons. Riley is about 2 months older and Jayden is a little over a month older than Calli.



And here is one of our first pictures of Calli smiling on purpose...it is a little blurry but it is the only one I've got!

And now for a couple of video's:

First Family pictures!

Well this is officially my last week off with my baby girl. I start work again on Monday. In a way I am ready to get back to work, but I will miss my precious time with my sweet little girl. So, since it is my last week home, I FINALLY convinced Chris to to shave off his nasty mustache and cut his overgrown hair...so we could get family pictures and Calli's 1 month old pictures. There were several good ones and many not so good ones, but we only chose 3 poses to purchase. Here are the results:

The last 3 poses are the ones that we ordered.

I cannot believe that she is already a month old! Crazy how fast time flies. She truly is a blessing from God and we love her so much! :)

UPDATE: I went back to the doctor today, and did not receive a pathology report. I did talk to the office manager (who handles all the medical records) and she had trouble accessing the hospital files and put a call in to the doctor who actually did the surgery. I forgot to mention that in my birth story...my doctor was also pregnant with her first child (a girl) the same time as me and actually delivered her baby girl on the 16th of October, 10 days before I delivered Calli, so I got the doctor who was filling in for her at the time. This was also a disguised blessing, for I am told that the doctor who delivered Calli is actually the best (OBGYN) surgeon at the hospital. Lucky me. Not that my doctor isn't qualified, I am sure she is wonderful. So that also I believe has added to the confusion of me receiving my results on the cyst. The Office Manager assured me that she would get the results and call me. I will let you all know when I find out.
