Photo Shoot

Like a little model, Kalli had a 12:30 pm Photo Shoot today. The location: Mom and Dad's Bed. Her wardrobe was by Gerber. She's quite the Diva.






And for those of you who have seen the movie Zoolander...

...here is BLUE STEEL!

Kalli the genius?

Kalli is quickly adding 2 new tricks to her arsenal of genius activities. The first almost-trick, is Kalli is really wanting to sit up on her own. It's pretty neat actually. She has decided that she doesn't really want to sit facing us anymore. Nope, she is wanting to sit and face the world. The bad news is that she is trying to sit up while in her car seat. This means that she generally ends up semi flopped over on her side, AND that it is time for a new car seat. Sure glad we got our money's worth on that infant carrier( note the sarcasm)!! Her second almost-trick is that she can just about roll over onto her tummy. She has been rolling onto her side since birth (yes I said since birth. Trevor was right when he freaked out the first night we were home. I witnessed it myself), now she has figured out how to get 3/4 of the way over. Once she figures out how to get her arm under her body, she'll be doing log rolls in no time! It's scary to think that she is so strong and still so little. I guess that's just what babies do.. they get big and strong... and start sitting up and rolling over. Of course I just like to think that OUR baby girl is a bonafide genius to be doing these new tricks. But then again, maybe I'm just biased...

Exer-Saucer

Mama finally put together the Exer-saucer for Miss Kalli. It has been added to the "playtime repertoire." She can't quite sit up yet (if you can't tell, she has been propped up using receiving blankets) but can hold her head up fine and even reach out and touch some things.

Bathtime and Angry Bunny

There's no doubt that Kalli's favorite time of day is bathtime. She quiets up the minute we lay her out to undress her and has a splish-splashing time until we pull her out (at which point she bellows because she wants to stay in the bath). We have some hilarious video of her kicking water in the bathtub and would be happy to send you the link. Just shoot us an email and we'll give you the "secret link" (we just didn't want to officially post it as there are all kinds of weirdos on the net).

And just for those of you that think Kalli smiles all day long, here's an angry bunny pic...

Do the Rock-Away (Lean Back...)

Oh my.

Turns out Kalli is in to rap music. CLICK HERE for a small video of Kalliopi doing Fat Joe's "Rock-Away." She's so fly.

"Hangin' With Miss Zoe"

Woah, here she comes... She's a Thumb Sucker

Yesterday was not a fun day, we had Kalli's 2 month check up and vaccinations. Since most of you all know about Amy's fear of needles, you can imagine that her daughter wasn't too happy about those shots any more than her mama liked being in the same room with them. I'm sure it was worse for us than it was for her. Kalli's mom then decided that Little Miss Tink could have some sort of a reaction to the vaccinations or the infant Tylenol, so we moved Kalli into our bedroom for the first time (thanks grandma CanCan for the pack and play with bassinett), just to make sure she didn't stop breathing or anything. Yep, we are officially neurotic (well, Amy is anyway). She slept incredibly well last night, so today is a much better day. Oh, by the way, she is almost 13lbs. and 24something inches long. In other words, she is perfectly healthy and beautiful.

Playtime!

First Halloween Costume

Mom and Dad are enjoying my hard-earned candy. Can't wait 'till I get teeth... those Jolly Ranchers are looking pretty appetizing.

Seriously have you ever seen a cuter dog and doggy mama?
