ok I think most of my blog readers have facebook, but just in case you don't I want to show off the beautiful pictures Hannah took of Callie. She was just about a week old (and due to technical difficulities I just got them :)) Anyway go here to view them. Hannah did a great job and I know I am not biased when I say this but Callies is the most beautifly baby I know!!!! Now I just need to pick my favorites to put in my collage frame.
Last Wednesday we headed out for a few days down on the Oregon Coast. I was not sure how travelling with three little ones would go (especially a newborn) but it actually went pretty well. The kiddos did fairly ok in the car on the way there-however by the time we got there I was relieved to get out of the car! Callie actually did really well on the way there-coming home-a different story!
We stayed down in the Depot Bay area for the first three nights and had a great view from our room-we actually even saw lots of whales in the water-this is something I have really always wanted to see and finally got to! We pretty much just spent time at the beach, letting the kiddos dig in the sand and playing at the resort pools. We had really good weather too, which was great. Friday night Rachael met us and spent the rest of the weekend with us. She is always fun to hang out with and the kiddos enjoy playing and being with her. Saturday we headed up to Seaside and on the way stopped at the famous Tillamook Cheese Factory. The highlight of that of course was the ice cream. My favorite is Black Licorice-Yum Yum. It is white in color and has a fairly mild flavor, but is delicious. So good in fact Roc traded me his bubble gum cone for mine. Being the loving mother that I am I let him do this-but he did not finish it so I did get some! I wish they sold this flavor in the stores!
Saturday night we spent at Seaside, while the beach was really nice, it was just too busy for me. I like the Depot Bay/Lincoln City area much more. Sunday the kiddos played on the beach a bit more then we headed to Washington Square for a little bit and then headed home.
I have posted my pictures here on facebook if you want to take a look. All in all we had a good time and it was really nice to get away for a while.
Callie had her two month appointment today (not officially two months till tomorrow). She weighed 13 lbs, 23.5 in length, and 15.75 head circumference. She is in the 95th percentile for all her stats! What a little chunk. I want to compare Ella and Callie at the same age, but for some reason I don't have Ella's stats on hand-so I am going to try and get these at our next appointment.
So far Callie seems to be pretty mellow-she sleeps a ton (Dr. said that was ok -he said babies that are growing a lot sleep a lot-and she does seem to be growing a lot!), she is cooing more and more each day and smiles a lot too. She does seem to have a bit of a flare for the dramatic though. She will go from not crying to screaming, not much in between. It is kinda funny. She actually does not cry that much and is easily comforted when she does. She is way better at driving in the car than the others-she tends to just fall asleep-which is great. Ella is my helper in the car and will pat her tummy if she does start to get upset.
I can't believe my little baby is already two months! Time does go by fast. She is so precious and cute! I love her so much.
I am going to have my sister Hannah do a two month photo shoot of her with the other two kiddos-so once those are done I will post some pictures.
I tried to get Callie to happily pose for some pictures in her cheerleading outfit. She was a bit grumpy so we will try again later-but here is what we got for now. And of course a few of Ella-Roc was with Grandma at the time so that is why is he not in the shots!
One of my friends from Kansas sent the girlies tutus-I was able to get Callie's to post in hers for a few minutes-isn't she precious!
