Kallie is 3 months old!!!

Happy New Year!! Sorry it has been so long since the last blog, but we've been quite busy!!! Between me going back to work and basketball we're hardly ever home it seems! Kallie is 3 months old now (as of yesterday). We went to the doctor on Friday to have her birthmarks checked and she is doing really well. The doctor said that they look good, the ones that have grown are minimal so she is not concerned. Two of them actually look like they're changing color meaning that they might be going away. We'll just keep watching them.

They weighed her while were were there and she now weighs 13 lbs 6 oz., which puts her in the 78th percentile for weight. They didn't measure her length this time but last time she was in the 90th percentile for length (23 1/2 inches long at her 2 month appt).

We go back to the doctor in February for her 4 month shots and to check her birthmarks again.
We have been very busy with basketball...this season has taken a while to get going thanks to the snow. The kids didn't have school the entire week before Christmas break started due to snow days. So they got 3 weeks off for Christmas. I have to say the roads were pretty nasty over here because they DON'T plow. It would've been just like home...if they would've plowed the roads. So anyway, when there is no school for snow days they cannot practice or have games. So...Ryan had to reschedule 3 league games and their home tournament. This last week we had 3 games and then our rescheduled home tournament yesterday. So 5 games in 6 days. It's going to continue to be fairly busy with the rest of the rescheduled games plus the regular schedule.

I started back to work this last week. The kids were VERY excited to see me...I was not so excited to leave Kallie. BUT she is doing GREAT at the daycare she's going to. The lady (Debby) is great. She has a few other kids during the day (between 3-4 kids) and then 4-5 more get off on the bus in the afternoon. It works out pretty well because the kids get off the bus and I usuallly get there to get Kallie 15 minutes later. Debby is great with Kallie and she's doing well. Not fussy and she's napping/eating well while there. Which is a huge relief to me.
Other than that we're just enjoying every minute with her that we can. She's noticed she has hands, so they're always near or in her mouth! She is very active (wiggle worm) and never sits still!!! She's sleeping well at night, usually falls asleep around 9-10 and then I wake her up to change her and feed her when I go to bed then she sleeps until 6-6:30. I cannot complain!!! Let's just hope she continues on this cycle!! She's a lot of fun and a very happy baby!!! I think she's over her "I only want my mom" stage and is letting others hold her finally!!! Not that I didn't enjoy her wanting me, but it's nice she'll let her dad hold her!!!
Alright, enough rambling! I better be productive while she naps!!! Talk to you all soon!!
Love,
Ryan, Melissa & Kallie
