Change is gonna come

August 31, 2009

It has been a long while since my last post. Even though I've not yet gotten a shower in today because Calista's had a rough day, so far, I thought it was time to FINALLY get some photos posted so you can see her progress... especially since today is t minus eight days until I return to work and CBB starts her first day as a "big girl" at daycare (go away tears!)

Beware! The little 4 pound, 11 ouncer you remember has changed a lot! Dare I call her chunkified?? Probably not... but as she nears a weight nearly double her birth weight, it's tempting :)

7/23/09: Spening time in her nursery with Dad - for the first time!

7/24/09: Her first full day home from the NICU - despite a restless night, she looks very refreshed!7/26/09: Chris and my sixth wedding anniversary! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect angel to celebrate!

7/27/09: Near perfection!

7/27/09: Psyched to go for a car ride!

7/29/09: This is love :)

7/30/09: Look at those peepers!

7/30/09: His eye is on the prize!

7/31/09: Daddy thinks she looks delicious!

8/2/09: Calista loves her Grandma Rabe! We had a BBQ and pool party at our house - Calista got to join the fun outside, but with the heat, her pants came off and she got to show off her pretty little legs!

8/3/09: After a meal, she's as happy as can be!

8/4/09: Freshly bathed... so serene!

8/5/09: Franklin borrowed Calista's bib. They're great pals, eh? What's ironic is that Frank is more than three times Calista's size :)


8/6/09: A cozy moment with Daddy :)

8/06/09: "I see you!" Calista enjoying Ashton's swing!

8/7/09: It's time for a wardrobe change... here's intermission :) She's getting longer and more filled out every day!!

8/11/09: If you didn't know she was stretching here, you may think she is busting a move in her panda outfit (thanks Jessie, Nick and Haley!):

8/11/09: Priceless.
8/12/09: Fun in the tub - she looks like she's ready for Broadway - just needs a little work on those jazz hands!

8/21/09: She loves auntie Kari and Grandpa Rabe too!

8/22/09: Ready for a walk with mom, aunie Kari and the boys!

8/23/09: Daddy created a makeshift bassinet... hey, must've been pretty comfortable! (It's a diaper box... size newborn, which still fit her very well).

8/24/09: Like her legs? they are so much more filled out!!
8/26/09: In her sling - the only thing that kept her happy that morning!
