It is official. We have another monster on our hands!!! At Cali’s 4 mth check up, she weighed in at 17lbs 2 oz and 27 ¼ in long! OFF THE CHARTS! NO WONDER she was getting up THREE TIMES a night to eat!!! She is growing like a weed!!

We got the go ahead from the Dr to start feeding her cereal and eventually fruits/veggies 2 times a day. I can’t believe it is time for that stage already. Having these monster babies makes me feel a smidge jipped in the little baby stage. Lugging Cali around in her car seat is beginning to get a smidge difficult. However, I will say it is a pretty sweet work out. If you see me in the parking lot…you may or may not witness me doing lunges and lat raises with her in tow. Hey…how else am I going to lose this last pound of pregnancy weight??

Cali and I went to meet Kaia for lunch at school. One word for the event: Hilarious. Kaia was VERY proud of her little sister and was quick to inform her classmates what  they could and couldn’t do with HER little sister. My favorite comment was from a little friend that said, “WHOA. That is the biggest neck I have ever seen on a baby.” (Referring to Cali’s delicate neckline...ok, ok her three chins.) Little kids are so brutally honest. I am not sure what was my favorite part of the day was…how mature Kaia interacts with her classmates, eating school slop or witnessing “Cheese Touch” (a game that is played in the Diary of a Whimpy Kid Series). It was pretty funny watching kids school each other without them knowing. Ahhh. To be a first grader again…

Mother’s day was a blast. Matt and the girls took me to a hotel downtown (The Depot) that had an indoor waterslide and arcade. It was a relaxing weekend filled with lots of family time. During the day Saturday we went to a Cinco De Mayo Festival in St. Paul. They had all of Kaia’s favorite things…Horse Rides, Super Jumps and Mini Donuts. I am surprised her head didn’t pop off!!

We added a new member to our family (no…not another furry or squirmy creature). My sister Angie had a little boy, Michael Reid Willson, on April 29^th and he was 7lbs 6oz and 19in long. We finally have a boy in the family!! He is going to look so smashing in his pink hand me downs from Cali…

So close to sitting up on her own!
