Baby Girl














She much prefers our bed to her bassinet:)

Tummy Time

Matching Mohawks

Grammie and two very eager baby sitters!

Cali (dukes-up) and her cousin Dylan...born just 28 days earlier.

Love those big blue eyes!

I know, I know, this is long overdue...Here are some more pix of our new addition. We cannot believe how quickly she changes! After a somewhat scary bout with jaundice, Cali is thriving! At her one month checkup she was 9lbs 2oz and 21 1/2 inches! So some of daddy's genes did sneak in there:) She was a pretty fussy little thing for the first few weeks, but we discovered it was mostly gas pains- (thanks Susi and Staci for the tips!! They've made all the difference!) As far as we can tell she is a very determined strong little girl- both physically and in spirit. Greg recently started calling her 'Bear' due to the little noises she makes and ferocious way she eats (ouch!!) We are absolutely enamored with her and sometimes just sit and stare at her perfect little features for way too long, and are so grateful for her. What a little miracle!!

Love the new pics that you put up, your little one is adorable. Baby Gavin is only 2 weeks old and he too has already learned to love our bed more than the bassinet as well. Your girl is gorgeous, enjoy her.

Stumbled on your blog while I was "blog hopping." Just wanted to say congratulations! She's gorgeous. I'd love to see her so I'm going to ask Kat to let me know when you guys are in town next.

She is so cute. I love all the pictures. I am always so glad when the first month is safely over. I am glad she is thriving! Email me your address. I have something sitting on my bookshelf for Cali.

She is sooo cute Brit! She looks like a baby doll in the ones with the headband. Have you taught her how to tackle yet? Haha!
