4 Months Old

Callie is 4 months today.  She has learned to roll over from her back to her tummy.  She hates being on her tummy but cannot resist rolling over any time she is down on the floor.  Hands and feet are always in her mouth.  She still spits up A TON.  She is ticklish on her neck and giggles when kissed there.  She thinks Maya is the funniest person there is.  She still sleeps through the night and has started to take naps in her crib!  Unfortunately, she has decided that the car in not a fun place to be and is very vocal about it.  It is going make it a fun road trip for us next month to CA.

2 Months Today

Little Miss Callie is 2 months old today and this time around time is going extremely fast!  I think Callie is working on being our chubbiest baby, I don't remember so many creases to have to work around with the other two.  She is pretty smiley and likes to coo when talking with you (her big sister is her favorite).  She has slept through the night 3 times this week!  During the day sleeping is a different story, she wants to be held and refuses to be laid down.  I did discover that she will tolerate her car seat for a bit so we've been working on napping alone in it the past few days.

Silly Leprechaun

We woke up to some Leprechaun tricks at our house this morning.  The couch was taken apart, toys were in silly places, a green toilet, and a skittle rainbow.

Captain Hook hanging from the ceiling fan did not go over well with Rett.

Callie

Callie is sure packing on the pounds, she has the chubby checks that I miss so much from when Maya was a baby and the thighs seem like they are going to be joining us soon.

 

These are some pictures from when Callie was probably a week old.  My mom and I attempted a little photo shoot.

 

 

And, here she is at about one month old (February 28th).

It's a GIRL!

Our sweet Callie decided to join our family on her Grandpa Jensen's birthday (she couldn't let Maya be the only one sharing a birthday with a grandparent).  I was blessed with a quick and easy labor and delivery. 

 

This girl could not be more excited to have a little sister!

 This guy could care less about a new baby.  He just wanted to eat snacks and play with the hospital bed.  He still hardly acknowledges her presence.

 And here is a shot of the cute little lady today, 10 days old.

Jensen Family Christmas Party

Every year Tommy's family has a big party to celebrate Christmas and enjoy being with family.  There is lots of yummy food, games, presentation on Christ's birth, and Santa even visits.  Last night I captured a few of the highlights according to Maya and Rett.

Maya has been requesting a snowman shirt to wear during the Christmas season.  She brought it up enough times that I thought she should have one, and of course Rett would need one too!

Santa's lap:  Maya did not want to sit on his lap but wanted a gift, she would not turn his direction or look at him.  Rett on the other hand, as soon as he heard his name called he RAN to Santa, jumped on his lap and started unwrapping his gift then and there. 

Playing with their gifts from Santa.

 Taking their turns at the piñata.  I was impressed with both of them, they hit it hard.

Temple Square and Snow Day

For Family Home Evening a few weeks ago we headed to Salt Lake to look at the Christmas lights.  We walked by the display windows at Macy's where everything was made from candy and Rett got to ride a "train" (Trax) downtown for the first time.  I'm not sure what the kids were more excited about, the lights or the train? 

 

As for most children, my kids beg every day to play out in the snow.  Here some cute pictures of the fun.

Happy Halloween

We were pretty traditional this year when it came to costumes.  Maya wanted to be a witch and luckily my cute neice Fallyn was a witch a few years ago and let us use her dress, the spiders were a HUGE hit!  I knew putting Rett in a costume would be nearly impossible.  I thought if he was a cowboy he would at least be happy with the boots, hat and gun so I was pleasantly surprised when he only threw a minor fit putting on a button down shirt (he only wants to wear t-shirts) and agreed to the chaps (Thanks Isaac for sharing your costume with us).

Walking up to daddy's work to trick-or-treat around the office.

Heading out to go around the neighborhood, Tommy talked him into the vest (so cute!).

 Our little model, the witch.

Carving Pumpkins

Monday night we carved a couple of pumpkins with the kids.  As soon as we opened up the top Rett said, "Ewww!"  They both would not touch the "guts" and requested scary pumpkin faces, which apparently means a zigzag mouth according to them.

Breakfast with the witches

This morning was so much fun.  We headed down to Garner Village and had breakfast with the fun and silly witches!  We ate, laughed, danced, and shopped.

 

Here are the kids sporting their new Halloween shirts before we headed out the door.

 

 Waiting to eat, hanging out with cousins and Aunt Tor Tor.

 Snap shot with my beautiful sisters-in-law Tori, Jackie and mother-in-law.  

 Maya collected a few autographs from the witches.

These kids sure love their grandma!

 Grandma spoiled the grandkids with big lollipops.

 Busting a move on the stage outside.

 We were wiped out by the end and ready to head home for naps.
