1st week of Daycare

Callyn started daycare this week (may 2nd). Cory and I dropped her off together, which was nice since I had a bit of a hard time leaving her. I thought I would be OK since I've been gone from her at work for almost a month now, but I still cried. Her "school" is really cute and there are about 5-7 other babies in her room. She has her own crib and plenty of toys/swing/ect to use. I don't think she sleeps very well at daycare, because she passes out at about 7:30 every night! My mom says that after a week at daycare, she'll be one scheduled little baby.

Auntie Laynie comes to visit

Laynie came to visit April 15-17th and met Callyn for the first time. It's official: Callyn looks more like Laynie than me! We had a busy weekend together, including celebrating my 6 year wedding anniversary with an amazing dinner Laynie cooked for me (too bad Cory wasn't here to enjoy it!). We can't wait to see Laynie again. She is such a wonderful auntie!

Daddy's home, Funeral, Easter & Baptism = busy 2 weeks

The last 2 weeks have been very crazy! Cory came back from Dalian April 19th, a few days early to attend his grandfather's funeral. He passed away a few weeks shy of his 99th birthday. He was a truly amazing man and I feel blessed to have known him and introduced him to Callyn. Cory was home for almost two weeks and flew back May 2nd. It was fun watching Cory with Callyn. He gave her his first bottle and finally got her to sleep in her crib in her own room! We had a wonderful easter together and baptized Callyn the Sunday after Easter. She was great during the baptism and never cried. (more pics of the baptism to come!)

Callyn is growing so much. I wake up in the morning and sometimes it actually looks like she grew overnight. She blew out the 3 and 6 month old onesies and is now proudly wearing 9 month old clothes. She's smiling alot now and loves reaching for objects on her activity mat.
