It was a rough adjustment at times for the first few weeks that Cali was here. She is now finally on a sleeping schedule as of October 30! It's not a great one, but she is mostly sleeping 4-5 hours during the night, so it makes it possible to function in the morning now!
Cali is absolutely adorable. I know every parent thinks that of their children, but it's so true! She makes great eye contact now. We have a few "games" that we play: one game involves Cali turning her head all the way to the left, then once you look at or talk to her, she turns it all the way to the right; then left, then right, and so on. It is hilarious! I love it. The other game she plays is "the balloon game" - doesn't sound so safe, does it? Haha, it is totally safe though. We watch very closely - but we put the ribbon in her hand and she tugs on the balloon. Again, her eyes go up and down with the balloon. I didn't realize that 8 week old babies could see so well, but she enjoys watching it!
Those are the simple smiling moments that Matt and I enjoy so dearly.
I have started working at church this week. I have missed the students and adult volunteers so much! It's great to be back. I have also started subbing. We are thankful for our wonderful family who is able to watch Cali right now when we are busy. We would be so lost without our family! God blessed us (and continues to) with amazing people in our lives.
That's about all that's going on right now. We are looking forward to the holiday season and seeing all our family and friends. Does anyone have any fun holiday plans or decorating ideas they would like to share?!? I would love for you to add your comments below!
