The Gallipo family.

Some vids...

Hey

Things are going relatively well here. We went and visited Grandma and Grandpa Gallipo in Watertown over Thanksgiving and had a blast.

Unfortunately I had a recurrence of a previous health issue and had to go to the emergency room when we got back to Sioux Falls on Saturday. I was admitted for surgery that day and spent the weekend in the hospital. All is well now and I'm recovering fine. I was able to return to work on Friday. I am going to see a specialist soon.

This is Lisa's last week to stay home from work. We are all wishing she could be a stay at home mom but that's not in the cards for us. I will be taking 4 weeks off from work to stay home with Aubrey and put off day care as long as possible. We are not looking forward to taking her to day care

We are REALLY excited for an upcoming visit from my brother and sister in law. We have not seen Eric and Kristy in years and we are looking forward to hanging out.

Here are some recent pictures:

2 month check up

Aubrey had her two month check-up today. Everything is looking great. She got her 2 month shots today and did not like that too much but she was done crying before we even left the doctor.

Mom is doing a great job feeding and Aubrey is doing a great job eating.

Aubrey weighs 11 lb 14 oz which puts her in the 90th percentile.

Aubrey is 23.75 inches long which puts her in the 97th percentile.

She's a big long girl.

Walker Family up from Kansas City

Aubrey is now 2 weeks old

Aubrey is over 2 weeks old now. She has met all her grandparents, most of her great grandparents, made a trip to Aberdeen and been out and about more then most people. The Gallipo family is doing well. I (Travis) went back to work on Monday after taking 2 weeks off. It was tough but my job is pretty flexible so I have been able to stop by the house for lunch both days so far. Lisa is a fabulous mother and is enjoying her time off. Aubrey has been a perfect baby. She is gaining weight and sleeping about 3 hours at a time at night which is a little better. Mom and Dad are getting a little bit of sleep at least.

PS. I got peed on today.

A FEW PICTURES:

A COUPLE OF VIDEOS:

Aubrey snoring. 2 weeks old



Aubrey watches the second presidential debate. She's frustrated with the stale two party system too!

Aubrey's first "hike"

We went for walk on a nature trail by our house with Grandma and Grandpa Gallipo.

More Aubrey...

Twins are now 3-0 since Aubrey was born. They also took first place last night with a come from behind win against the White Sox. Aubrey was working hard cheering. Her favorite player is Mauer just like mommy.

Video of Aubrey watching/listening/dancing to a live NOFX video. She "saw" NOFX in utero. It was her first concert.

3 days old

Flowers from Lisa's work:

Aubrey's home-made Twins outfit. Grandma and Grandpa Gallipo and our friend Eric both gave Aubrey a Twins shirt but she won't be big enough for them until spring training. So I made one out of a white onsie and a marker. The Twins are 2-0 since Aubrey was born and she has watched both games. They are a half a game out of 1st place because of her hard work cheering. You can see her watching the game on the second video (which is now working) in the post below.

Aubrey spent her first night home from the hospital making sure that Mom and Dad did not get any sleep at all. She would wake up every 45 minutes and let us know that she was hungry. She would then eat for 5-7 minutes and fall asleep. I'm pretty sure she was laughing at us. She is doing very good and Mom and Dad are getting naps every once in a while. The whole family took a trip this morning to Lisa's hair place so she could get a hair cut.
