Calla's First Laugh!

So the other day, Wednesday 2/23/11 to be exact, I was playing with Calla and started to kiss her little tummy. Well apparently she is insanely ticklish on her belly, because she started to giggle! I couldn't believe it at first, I thought she was about to cry so I looked at her face and she had the biggest grin I have ever seen her smile! She was just laughing away! It was kind of funny because I expected her laugh to be this little high pitched squeal at first, but her laugh sounded strangely familiar, apparently right now she laughs just like her daddy! (With a girl voice of course :)) She was exactly twelve weeks old that day. I can't believe how much she changes every day! It is so fun to watch her grow and learn how to do new things. She is now in the process of trying to roll herself over, but has definitely not quite mastered that one yet. She is not a huge fan of tummy time, she prefers to stand. She has very strong legs, but not so strong arms (strength in her legs from her daddy, weakness in her arms from her mommy :)). She loves standing and trying to hold herself up. It is hillarious to watch seeing as she's only just about 3 months old, so she just looks so small! She also has enjoyed lately pulling my hair out... it is rather painful, so I think I will take my mom's advice and start wearing my hair in a pony tail. As for her sleeping habits, they are off and on. She will have such a great night one night and sleep in her crib for hours at a time and not want to eat every 3 hours, but than other nights she will want to stay up all night and play, or just not want to sleep in her crib. The second you put her down sometimes she just starts squealing and then will usually be happy and smile when we pick her up. I think Tim and I already have a little drama queen on our hands. :) So anyways, there is a little update on Calla! As soon as we can get her to get a good laugh going again we will post a video for everyone to see! OH YEAH! And her tear duct has finally decided to make its appearance and open up! No more goopey yucky crusty closed eye any more! She has two beautifully opened clear eyes now :).

Here are a few updated pictures of Calla! (You can finally see her hair on top of her head!) YAY!

Calla "talking"/Calla's Sneaky Feet!

In the first video, Calla is cooing and making some cute noises :)

In the this video, Calla keeps sneaking her feet onto Tim's hand while he's trying to type! :)

My 21st Birthday :)

I flew home from Boise yesterday, and Tim picked Calla and I up from the airport. When we got in the car there was a Jared's present sitting in my seat! I opened it and it was a beautiful pair of amethyst earrings that matches my bracelet from Christmas.

A few weeks before my birthday, he let me pick out a new purse and wallet too!

Then we got to the apartment and when we walk inside there are 21 balloons hanging up in our apartment that each have a reason why he loves me on them!

Oh yeah! And a bottle of sparkling cider!

After that we walked around the mall and got Mrs. Field's cookies/ cookie cake slices and ordered takeout from Texas Roadhouse, and ordered Life as We Know it on On Demand! I also got to talk to a lot of family which was very nice!It was such a great birthday and it was fun to spend it with Tim and Calla! :) 

Calla's 2 Month Well Baby Check-up!

So Calla had her 2 month check up today! (Although is now 10 weeks old!) She now weighs 10 pounds 5 ounces and is 23 inches long! She is in the 50th percentile for her head circumference and her weight, and the 75th percentile for her length! She also received 4 vaccines today. She didn't mind the liquid drop one, but she screamed pretty good for the other three shots in her thighs! Surprisingly enough though, she calmed down rather fast. Tim and I really did not enjoy watching our poor baby be in so much pain, but she seems to be all better now. She also has been having some pretty bad acid reflux the past few days, but the doctor thinks it will get better soon and doesn't want to try and treat it because he thinks it might go away on its own. Our pediatrician is so nice and sat down and talked to us for a little bit. We definitely got lucky that he happened to be the on-call pediatrician when she was born, and he was happy to have her as one of his patients. So overall her appointment went very well, and Calla is perfect and healthy! Her next appointment isn't until April, thank goodness! :)

Having fun with Calla!

Here are some new pictures of Calla! She is now 9 and a half weeks old and just about 11 pounds! She was really happy and smiley tonight, so I decided it would be the perfect time for some pictures! I thought it would be fun for everyone to see her cute little baby rolls so she is just in her diaper :).

First we have her adorable "I'm so happy" smile :)

Next we have her cute little flirty look :)

This is her sweet smile :)

And last, but not least, we have her close-up model pose :)

I also have a video of her lifting up her head and chest! She is getting so strong. By the way, it looks like she has a unibrow in this video, but it is just a shadow :) haha.
