Calleigh's First Baths

Calleigh's cord took almost a month to fall off. When it finally did, we were anxious to give her her first bath in her Tummy Tub and in her whale tub. The idea behind the Tummy Tub is that it creates a womb-like atmosphere for the baby and therefore makes her feel more secure and relaxes her. She really liked it. The water came up to her shoulders and made her feel more bouyant and she kept trying to stand up. She has such strong legs!


She got cold quickly after getting out of her bath so we tried to get her snuggled up in her robe. She was gearing up to start screaming here.
Since she can't sit up or hold her head up yet, her whale tub is a little easier right now to give her a bath in. She had fun in the tub which has surprised me because she doesn't seem to like being naked. (Daddy and I hope this trait continues into her teenage years!)

Calleigh's First Christmas

I went a little crazy taking pictures this Christmas. We also went a little crazy dressing Calleigh up in all sorts of cute Christmas outfits. Here are a few photos from our dress up session with her. She lasted about 10 minutes and then had had enough. We got some cute shots of her though before her meltdown.

Christmas was so much fun this year and was a great opportunity for a lot of family and friends to meet Calleigh for the first time.

Gramps and Grandma Stringer were down from Lewiston and got to meet Calleigh.

We went to Sturgis over New Years weekend. The Rupps came over to meet Calleigh. Aunt Jen got to hold Calleigh whenever J.D.'s arm got tired. He really liked holding her.
We had a get-together with the Fieberkorns and Calleigh got to meet her second cousins, Kayla and Jacob. Cousin Dechlan was also there so we had to get a picture of the four of them together.
Great Grandma Jean was anxious to get all four great grandkids on her lap.
Meeting the family wore Calleigh out. She spent most of the day sleeping.
Calleigh also got to meet Great Grandma Weiderman.
Great Grandma Weiderman had her hands full with Dane, Calleigh's second cousin, Calleigh and Dechlan.

Grandpa Fieberkorn got ahold of Calleigh and it was hard prying her out of his hands. Here we got a shot of him with both grandkids.
