Life with Calder: Weeks 2 & 3

Time has flown by, and I can't believe Calder will be three weeks tomorrow! She really has been such a wonderful baby and we are so thankful for every moment with her.

 She is so alert and her big blue eyes make me melt.

We love to play, sing songs, poop and pee, read books and have girl talk...

Bea still doesn't know what to think of Calder! It's been an adjustment not being the only baby in the house...

Her different faces and expressions crack me up...

SuSu left last Friday, and we definitely shed some tears over leaving each other. Mom was AMAZING and seeing her special bond with Calder was something I'll never forget. Calder's been an easy baby SO FAR (fingers crossed!) so I knew we could make it on our own, but it just tore her apart leaving Calder and the idea of living 5+ hours away is hard..

 

...BUT both of my parents are coming back in three weeks, so we can't spend too much time being sad. In the meantime, we send them lots of videos...

We've actually put on real clothes a few times to run errands around town...and getting out the door has a completely new meaning!

We love tolerate sponge baths...

 ...but it feels so good to be clean!

We've now discovered our hands, and I think we may have a thumb sucker on the way...

We love our long walks...

and cuddle time!

Saturday morning with Daddy was the BEST.

Seriously, PLEASE stop taking pictures of me mama!

That's it for now. Sorry for ALL of the pictures and the choppy random comments. I have very little time to articulate these days, so hopefully this will do for now. We sure do love this little one, and had idea how much joy and love our hearts were capable of feeling.
