OMG, a post!

Seeing as that we haven’t posted anything here since November, this is quite an accomplishment.  We’ve been pretty much getting our asses completely kicked—Laura with the tax season, me with the dissertation, both of us with the baby, and so on.  At any rate, I’m going to try to put pictures up more frequently.  Instead of trying to give you monthly updates or something here, I’ll just put a link to:

All Photo Albums

So you can visit there at your leisure.  (RSS readers can subscribe to the pictures directly, too; I’m not sure if it will show you just new albums or also new pictures in an album.)  At any rate, this blog definitely needs some more recent pictures…

Cali is almost 6 months old now.  She had some fussy times back in January and February, but since then she’s pretty much been an angel.  She reliably sleeps for around ten hours a night, waking up once around 3-4am for a snack, so we’re actually able to get some good sleep.  She’s eating baby food and can stay sitting up on her own, but she doesn’t pull herself up yet.  She smiles a lot, and my mission in life has become to keep her constantly giggling.  She’s not crawling yet, but is doing lots of baby push-ups and can flip over well enough that you can’t really expect to find her where you’ve left her.  She has some pretty bad stranger anxiety when other people hold her, but she seems pretty fine with just being around people.

She’s big.  Really big.  They told us she was in the 99th percentile at her two month appointment, and at the four month appointment she was “off the charts” and the size of an average ten-month old.  Her 9-month size pajamas are too small, now.  She’s pretty tall, but is getting some pretty adorable baby rolls, which we’re told will go away in short order after she’s mobile.  She had a cold for a little while, a few months ago, but otherwise she’s been in great shape.

We got hit with a big hail storm in March that broke our skylights and banged up our roof.  Apparently we need to have it re-shingled.  So that was exciting.
