CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE MORNING

I am the most blessed baby ever! My sister Sadie was hanging with me and Mom and Dad were laughing and Christmas music was blaring and I got to have cheesy egg milk with turkey and gravy for breakfast!!! It truly is a Wonderful Life....(we watched that last night)

We wanted to make sure Santa knew that we were NOT naughty and were definitely nice so

Sadie came off a bone for the reindeer and I gave a girl scout mint chocolate for Santa and some put out some water for all...I was hoping it would butter them up!

Here are our packed stockings...it worked, it worked!

Sadie got some tasty bones
She scored rope toys....more fun, less filling!

Mom and I got matching Princess Pez dispensers and I got some bath toys and alphabets and some candy canes and a new toothbrush....not sure what thats all about yet!
Then I got a zzzzzzzzzz.....

Since Callie is out, I will take over. This outfit is from her Uncle Nick and Aunt Marissa...who are having a baby today!!!!!!!! They don't have a name yet so we will call him Jesus...it sounds good in English and Spanish which will be perfect!!!

More great things she slept through..... This was daddy's school, go RU!


Here is the aftermath!!!

.....

On behalf of the entire Callie Show, a warm thank you to all of you and especially to little baby Jesus,

AMEN!

'twas the night before Christmas....

Sadie waiting patiently for Santa

'twas the night before christmas and all through the house, Callie was stirring because we don't have a mouse. The stockings were slung by the tree with care in hopes that St. Nick soon would be here. (The stockings were then moved to the tv stand to be filled with fun and goodies so grand.)

Callie and Sadie all snug in their beds with visions of bones & milk dancing in heads. Mom with her breast pump and dad all in boxers had just moved to bed from the bentwood rocker.

When out on the roof there arose such a clatter, I ran to check (Sadie said nothings the matter).

I must water the reindeer & give Santa his snack, (or Sadie will eat it before I get back)

When what to my wandering eyes should appear?????????

Well nothing, Santa says he'll come back when Callie's sleep is near!!!!

Finally In the Groove

Occassionally, I get one of those outfits that just makes me giggle! This is one. The Pooh shirt didn't come with it, just the leopard ensemble. I really do think it is stinkin cute though. I do have to admit, I really love the trim on the pants. I cannot say that a big person can pull this off as easily, so I will just have to keep my matching outfit in the closet. ; ) This was taken at Memaw and Peepaw Great's over Thanksgiving in Illinois...yep her first road trip. It was fabulous seeing them meet their 22nd or so grand/great grandchild. Memaw tried to feed her a spoon of stuffing that was the size of her face! She opted out and had turkey milk and dressing milk instead. Memories! Oh, the trip...yeah, it took us 26 hours to get there. We stopped about every 2 hours to eat and freshen the diaper. Flying was not an option with all the stuff we had to take. She was a dream. Slept as long as the car was moving. Crazy, I know, but it really wasnt much different from our routine at home. I just didn't get my walk in and lunch was in a cooler or drive through instead of fridge. She was able to stretch her legs when we stopped and got some quality snuggle time in when Grandma Millie walked around. Wouldn't think of doing it with a screaming toddler, but a sleeping baby....no problemo. Daddy gave her the first bottle of pumped milk before we left to see if that would work, just in case we couldn't find a safe well lit rest area to feed at 2:30 am. She took it like a champ. I think at this stage, the way she tries to eat my knee, shirt, and anything coming within inches of her face she is stoked just that something comes out of that new fun thing! Bouncy seat...lets just say best investment ever....it has let to all sorts of new advances. Her laughing and talking while flaying legs and arms; her sitting at just the optimal pooping angle (easier than lying down for her....you try lying down while pooping...it aint pretty); me taking a shower (daddy's personal favorite) and giving my arms a rest. Well, I promise not to be so deliquent on next post. It takes me a while to get into the groove. Until next time, groove on yourself!
