First Day at Daycare

Today, November 23rd, 2009. 7 weeks and 4 days old Callie started daycare. I wasn't nearly as nervous dropping her off as I was Jakobe. I knew her teachers well and knew what to expect from when Jakobe was in the newborn room. Her teachers said she had a good day. She spent some time in the bouncy seat with the jungle gym and relaxed in the swing. I wasn't however, ready for her reaction when I picked her up. It actually made me a little sad. I'm so used to arriving at daycare to pick up Jakobe and when he sees me he drops his toy, screams with excitement, and runs towards me with open arms. When I arrived at daycare to pick up both kids I went to Callie's room first. I was so anxious to hear how her first day went. I was so excited to see her. But when I saw her she just looked up at me with a blank stare. For some reason I was expecting a reaction from her like I get from Jakobe, you know, the running toward me while screaming with a big smile on her face, which obviously doesn't make ANY sense since she is only 7 weeks old but it really made me sad. Then I began to think how Jakobe started to smile at me around 3 months old when I arrived to pick him up. Either way, it won't be long before she is running toward me with open arms and a big smile! Here are some pictures from her first day at daycare.

1 Month Old!

Her new ladybug headband!!! Grandpa Mark and Grandma Jane will LOVE this! Ha ha. Sorry guys!

























Callie is already a month old! She weighs 7 lbs 15 oz. She still has all of her hair which has turned from black to brown and dark eyes. She is much more alert and is awake for longer periods of time. She can hold her head up for seconds at a time. She makes funny noises all the time and even when she eats. She's a hogger. She eats 3 1/2 oz every 4 hours. She is a good sleeper....even at night. She's good about staying on her schedule. She is a very sweet baby. She does like to be held. We love her so much and feel so lucky to have two beautiful, sweet children.
Callie will start daycare on November 16th, that's when I go back to work. I'm ready to go back to work but I'm no where close to ready to leave my little ladybug. She will be fine though. She's going to the same daycare as Jakobe. Koalaty Time Encore. It's a great daycare!
Jakobe is continuing to get better with her. He still gives her her pacifier and bottle. He gives her kisses every now and then. He still is showing some signs of jealousy every once in a while. Like if I'm feeding her and he wants something he will try to pull me away from her or try to pull her out of my arms. He will throw a fit until I tend to him. I honestly can't complain though. He is doing great adjusting to his new sister. Soon, they will be playing together. That will be so much fun! Mommy hood is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!
