We have had a wonderful first week home! The girls are loving spending time together and we just love watching them. We have been staying home a bunch but also getting out just a little here and there.
We love these three girls in their towels!
Calli fell asleep on Randy's lap one night right after bath. Look at her hand on Molly! She is sleeping so great - in her own bed, 10-11 hours each night, with a 2 hour nap. We couldn't ask for more than that!
Calli loves to eat. She definitely has some issues with food, but we're working on those as much as possible. She gets so excited when we walk into the kitchen that she squeals and laughs. She eats all the food we give her and then all the rest of the girls' food. We have to put the food away, clean up, turn out the lights and all leave the kitchen or she just wants to keep eating and eating. If we walk into the kitchen for something and don't get food, she throws a fit. We can't wait to see how much weight she gains in the next few months!
She loves bathtime!
And swinging!
We went to Dr. B for her first appointment on Tuesday. She did great for him and we loved getting to introduce him to her. He helped us so much throughout the whole referral process and we are so thankful for him! Calli weighed 22 lbs 5 oz and was 33 inches long. That's the 30th percentile for weight and the 75th for height. We're curious about the percentile she's in for her head - it measured 46 and a quarter cm: her head is so big! Maybe just compared to her skinny body. Dr. B said she's tall and skinny like her mama. :) Loved that. He ordered a bunch of labwork that we have started working on this week and also spoke with the cleft team that we'll be working with! He went ahead and made us an appointment with the cleft team in Houston for the week after next! Things are moving along!
Cutie bug!
We've given her lots of kisses, but these are the first ones she gave us! One of the sweetest moments yet! Love this so much.
Kendall and Cooper's strawberries are growing from her Strawberry Shortcake party in February!They were excited to try the first ones!
Kendall started back to school this week on Tuesday and Thursday. They have been learning about insects, and brought home worms to put in a garden. Kendall was excited to put them in her flower bed in front of the playhouse - look at how well their flowers are doing!
We made our first trip to Chick fil A with Calli! She ate a whole nugget meal by herself - crazy!
We always see our friend Kristin Walker and her boys when we go to Chick fil A. She even said on facebook when we were in China that she couldn't wait until we came home and she saw us walking in Chick fil A. Well, guess who was there when we walked in this week - Kristin! So funny. I had to take a picture with her. :)
And, last but not least, her very first DQ blizzard. Guess what...she loved it!
We've had a great week and are loving learning more about Calli and watching her learn about her new family. We're so thankful for all the support we've had coming home - especially having meals brought for dinner every other night! Seriously - such a wonderful gift. It makes it so nice that we are just able to stay home and work on becoming a family!
Yay!! so fun!! :)
