Adjusting to Japan

Well, we have been here a little over one week and it is going great. Callie and I are both adjusting well and I think we are both over our jet lag, which is amazing. Callie has been sleeping through the night again for the past five nights. Let me tell you, it was definately an adjustment to getting up in the middle of the night again since she has been sleeping at least 10 hours a night since she was 2 months old (sorry, I had to brag). I think that she knew that Scott was going on a road trip because the first night he was gone she slept great, which meant a full night's sleep for me too :)

We have been keeping busy going to the grocery stores, there are three within walking distance, and visiting with the other baseball wives and kiddos that live here in the apartments. There is a little boy (well, he's bigger than Callie) that is one week younger than Callie and they have had a great time meeting eachother. We haven't had an official playdate yet, but I'm sure they will have a blast once we do.

Callie also inherited some great toys from another baseball family. She now has an Exersaucer and a Jumper and she has so much fun in both of them. She doesn't quite jump in the Jupmer yet, but just kind of bounces. We are also getting lots of exercise and stroller time in since you walk every where. The other day we did a 5K walk with two of the other wives. And let me tell you, it was not leisurly. For those of you that are familiar with my exercise habits, it was definately a challenge, but it was fun. We will probably do it quite a bit.

what is this thing?

loving the jumper!

Oh, and Callie has also finally started eating rice cereal. I'm pretty sure she likes it. More than anything I think that she likes being able to eat with the spoon. I have some video of her first bites, I just have to download it to the computer. And she is getting even closer to rolling over. She can go from her back to her side all on her own now. She just needs to get that final push to roll all the way over. I tried to video her last night, but it's like she knows the camera is on and refuses to do anything :)

first bites!

Scott also pitched again last night. He threw 6 innings and gave up 6 runs and got the loss. He gave up the runs in just two innings and the other four were great. He also struck out the first batter of the game again, for the fourth time in a row! It was neat to be able to watch him on TV and hear the Japanese announcers. I'm not quite sure if Callie realized it was her Daddy, but I'm pretty sure she was cheering him on!
