Seven Weeks Old and GROWING!

We weighed her on our scale yesterday and she's up to 11.5 pounds. Getting bigger and longer every day. We had visits from Ciara and Cionie this week. Cady is very aware of her surroundings, looking around all the time and smiling a lot. She's getting very interactive. She's outgrown most of her newborn and 0-3 month onsies, and is on to some 3-6 month clothing. The sizes are so inconsistent, it doesn't really mean anything, but it does show how much she's growing!

Here's how the crazy monkey sleeps most of the time.

Here are the 3 C's

We were really going to try to stay away from pacifiers, but sometimes that's just what she wants. Luckily it's not all the time!

Holding her head up and looking around, some of her favorite things to do.

Mug shot...

Dan's beer has been fermenting for a week, so it's time to transfer containers tomorrow to allow the beer to clear, then it goes in bottles next weekend.

Cady's Six Weeks Old!

She's growing fast, and starting to interact more. She's started smiling, and no...it's not just gas. She's also really interested in the mobile above her crib (which was the mobile above my crib 35 years ago). She loves it, and watches it until she falls asleep. We read her lots of stories, and she listens to music during her afternoon naps.
In unrelated news, Dan's going to brew a batch of beer tomorrow for Father's Day. Cady bought him the very big spoon he needed to complete his brewing equipment for Father's Day. Six weeks from tomorrow, we should have homebrewed beer. Speaking of beer, I've started doing some freelance writing about it. You can check out my articles by clicking here.

We Took Cady Out to the Ball Game

We took her out with the crowd! No peanuts or cracker jack, but we had a great time. My old audit partner, Chris was in town again and got some excellent tickets to see the Dodgers and Angels play at Dodger Stadium. We met up with him for dinner at The Counter in Pasadena, then carpooled to the game. Cady was so good. She got a little cranky as we were getting ready to leave the restaurant, but she was fine once she ate. Then she slept through most of the game and the drive home. She had three celebrity sightings - Ozzy Osborne, Brian McKnight, and Larry King - who was wearing the weirdest yellow leather jacket.

Bed Time

Just a couple shots of us after Cady's bath tonight. We LOVE these jammies from our friend Christine (a co-worker). They say "I Love Mom" and "I Love Dad"...very, very cute!!!

Lately, Dan can't take a picture with both eyes open to save his life. Regardless, here's the whole family, with Chico peeking through the back.

Cady's Big Day Out

Today I took Cady to the office for a co-worker's baby shower. I was a little nervous, not sure how she'd do. She was perfect! She ate and slept right on schedule and was wonderful with everyone who held her. She wore her cute little pear and apple dress from Sara, and everyone loved it!

Here's Cady with her Tita Cionie at the party...

One Month Old

Yep, it's already been a month, can you believe it? At her one month appointment (on Friday) she weighed 9 pounds 7 ounces (up from 7 pounds 5 ounces at birth) and was 20 inches long (she was 19 when she was born).

Here's our sweet girl on the one month anniversary of her birth.

She's not always so sweet....nor that quiet.

Cady - Week Three

Just a couple of pictures from Cady's third week, bath time with mom and getting burped on dad's knee. She's getting so big, our hungry hippo eats all the time!
