Tempus Fugit!

Time has flown by! On Monday Callyn will be 8 weeks old and I will be heading back to work. While I am not looking forward to the daily grind of an office, I am ready to get back into a daily schedule. I'm lucky to have both grandmothers nearby who will be watching Callyn for the next 4 weeks, then she heads to the Sunrise School for daycare full time. Callyn got to meet her great aunt Kathy last week and next week she gets to meet her aunt Emily & cousins Paul & Cole. She can't wait! Here are some highlights from the last few weeks:

* Callyn is growing like a weed. She has officially outgrown all newborn clothes and is almost out of most 3 month clothes. I'm now in search of "long" onesies b/c I have a very tall little lady.

* Eye contact is getting really good. She tracks things well and loves looking at ceilings and fans.

* First smiles...we get a smile out of her every now and then, but its almost impossible to get the camera out fast enough. My Dad, aka Pop, practices smiling with her every morning.

* Sedona is slowing accepting the fact Callyn is here to stay. She's officially stolen her first dirty diaper and still steals pacifiers & receiving blankets. Yesterday, she actually jumped up on the rocker in my lap after becoming jealous of me nursing Callyn.

* Callyn is still a great sleeper, but she wakes me up a bit more now. She falls asleep around 8, but then likes to wake up a quite a bit during the night. I still have her sleeping in the pack & play in my room....my goal is to get her into her crib very very soon (then maybe I won't wake up at every sound she makes).

* She has no trouble taking a bottle, but only if its breastmilk (we haven't tried formula yet).

* Next Friday 4/1 is her 2 month check-up & vaccines. I'll get a weight/height/head measurement then and will post stats.

*I have no problem getting the "crying" face...just not the "smily" one :).
