Off to Boise!

This week I am headed to Boise, ID to help Adam and Liz out with Nathan while Liz is on bed rest. It will be my first flight with Calla, and by myself, so I am pretty nervous, but it is a short flight, so I think she will be okay. I am excited to see them and get to spend some time with them again. Tim and I miss having them live so close to us! I leave on Tuesday and come back the following Wednesday. It will be hard to leave Tim, seeing as the longest we have ever been apart over night is one night! And Calla is changing everyday, so we are going to try and skype every night so he can see her and anything new she is doing! Calla will definitely miss her daddy, she is a little daddy's girl! I think Tim will be okay here by himself, he did just get his new golf clubs and I know is just itching to go hit balls all of the time, but is sweet enough to put me and Calla first and spend some time with us. So I am sure this week for him will be full of golf, school, going to work, and getting a week of full nights of sleep again! (enjoy the sleeping while you can, Tim :)). I come back on my birthday! I can't believe I am going to be 21! I am so excited :). I never really thought by the time I was 21 I would be married for a year and a half and have a 2 and a half month old daughter! It is crazy how life works out and I wouldn't have it any other way :). Calla this past week has grown and is about 10 pounds 3 ounces! She is getting so big, it is somewhat sad to see her newborn clothes slowly start to be put away, but exciting to start using all of the 0-3 month clothes! She wears about half newborn clothes and half 0-3 month clothes now and is in size 1 diapers! Speaking of diapers, while Liz was up here at Christmas she suggested trying Luvs diapers because they are cheaper, and I did and I LOVE Luvs diapers. They are the only diapers that Calla does not poo or pee out of! And it's just an added bonus that they are cheaper than Pampers and Huggies! Calla has also been getting better at holding her head up longer, she just needs to learn that her hands and arms can help pull her chest up, but instead she does the airplane and just lifts everything up all at once. It's safe to say her neck is very strong from doing that :). She is learning though, the more tummy time she has the more she is able to figure the whole thing out with her arms. Her legs are already ready to get moving, so I think she is good there :). She is also big on licking everything these days, it is pretty fun to watch haha! A funny thing I have noticed her doing lately is when I hold her in my lap on our bed she is facing this one wall, and there is nothing on the wall it is just white, but when she sits there she looks at that wall every time and she starts smiling so much. She isn't even looking at me while smiling, she is looking at the wall. It is almost like she is flirting with this random spot on the wall. Needless to say, it is hilarious to watch. She is a funny, cute, adorable little girl and I am so lucky to be her mommy! It is 6:30 in the morning and she has finally fallen asleep again after being up for an hour and a half so it is off to bed I go! :)
