The first of hopefully many...

Ahhh...naptime is so sweet. Ugh..the FedEx man just rang the door bell. Fortunately Cali is not really a light sleeper. She has been waking up during the past three nights; several times last night. The only thing that appeases her is getting into the guest bed with me. I'm thinking she might be getting her bottom molars which would explain the angst. I can't keep doing that though. I'm exhauted.

Mac and I are just chilling. He is playing with the little blow up ball that hangs from his play mat. The little guy makes my heart happy. He is just like his daddy; the sweetest, most pleasant little man. I can't imagine how he could be any easier. We thought Cali was an easy baby too, but she definitely had her melt downs. Mac is just getting to the stage where he likes attention and someone to talk to him at all times. He has this little whimper that he lets out when he wants attention. It's more of a squeal actually. They are keeping me busy though. Mac melts my heart with his smiles. They consume his whole face. I just want to kiss him and snuggle him all the time. He has discovered his feet and is just about to roll over. He is my little man!

Cali is a delight. She is more like her mommy than her daddy right now. She is confident and fearless, curious and adventuresome. She loves the swing and last Saturday she figured out how to jump. It was the cutest thing. Yeesterday, she actually puckered up and made the kissing sound with her mouth. Up to that point she had just been touching her head to yours and saying "muah." She likes to roll around on the floor and watch Elmo! She loves the outside and brings me my shoes and her shoes, walks to the door and says "Yes!" when she wants to go out. Her favorite foods are broccoli!, turkey, cheese!, goldfish, watermelon, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. She devours books and loves to be thrown around as she plays on mommy and daddy's bed.

I have had quite a bit of trouble adjusting to life at home. I can't imagine leaving them all day, but I miss my "old life." This is mostly going to be about the kds though, so I save my feelings for another time.

I love watching Cali and Mac interact. She kisses him way more than she does anyone else. He looks at her like she hung the moon. I hope and pray that they have a great relationship. I love watching them together and look forward in a strange way to the mischief they will create.
