Just as Max Braverman started wearing deodorant and showering on last night's Parenthood, we too have had a couple small victories in the Calcara household this week :) Arden has now successfully made it through two workouts in the gym nursery with NO tears! Hooray! There's always a teacher holding her when I go to pick her up, but that's still much better than being called down after 15 minutes on the treadmill. Or even worse not hearing the announcement and having someone sent ...
New Kind of NYE
Don't mind my dirty hair or man-laugh…I was just getting over a stomach bug and showering was low on my priority list. But seriously, how cute is that baby?!? ...
Charlie Carter’s Coming to Town…
We had some pretty special guests this past week: Brittany, Jimmy and Mr. Charlie Carter himself! Arden and Charlie had met a few times in Kansas City, but so far there hadn't been an opportunity for them to spend a lot of quality time together. The same goes for Charlie's mom and me. Since we had these babies four and five months ago, we've had to learn to stay updated mostly through text messages and each others blogs (these kids keep us busy!!!) So to say that I ...
Arden’s First Christmas
Christmas last year was pretty wonderful. We had just found out that I was pregnant and we were dreaming of Christmas 2012 where we'd be able to celebrate with our new baby. And with our little miracle here, it was even better than I could've expected. We drove from Houston to Great Bend, to Pratt, to Kansas City, and back to Houston. We spent quality time with friends and family--and just soaked up the holiday season. Arden's first Christmas was one to remember…and ...
Arden: Four Months!
Length: 26" Weight: 14lbs 7oz Head Circumference: 16.25" Milestones This Month: Grabbing and pulling. If I’m lucky, it’s a toy you’re grabbing and not my hair! One morning I was making breakfast and I heard some rattling under the activity gym. You had grabbed one of your pull toys and made it shake…and you haven’t stopped since. Bumbo time. I think we can officially say that you’re a bumbo baby. However, when you’re ready to get out you don’t wait for ...
3 Month Pictures
Technically these are 2 3/4 month pictures. Hey, I needed them in time for Christmas cards…so close enough, right? I can't believe how much Arden has already changed in the month since these were taken! She's even more smiley and definitely has a few more rolls :) As always, Aubrey did such an amazing job. She totally captured Arden's sweet little personality and also got some great family pictures that we're going to love looking back on. Now to decide which ones ...
