Callie Anne - seven weeks old!

Callie is growing but still seems so small to me! Maybe because the last baby I have to compare her to is Mason, who may have started out almost as big as she is now. Speaking of Mason, the poor guy has been sick all week with hand, foot and mouth disease (no it's not the same as hoof and mouth or whatever the cows or pigs get) - apparently it's a common virus this time of year. The blisters on his hands and feet are better but his mouth is a terrible mess - went back to the doctor today to find that he now has a secondary bacterial infection in his mouth and throat. He has not been eating or sleeping much, and is very unhappy and uncomfortable. So Kari, the promised feature on Mason will have to wait until he feels better.

Here, however, are some recent pictures of Miss Callie Anne - love that smile! She's starting to coo occasionally too - I had forgotten how much work it is for them to muster up an intentional sound at this age. So sweet.
