2007

This year has been quite the adventure, mainly focused around our little angel. We found out I was pregnant is January and then the year focused all around her! I got to retire in June and hopefully I won't have to go back to work for a very long time!

Life will never be the same for Mike and I, and that is a very good thing. Cailtyn is challenging and frustrating at times, like when she won't sleep and eat (which is everyday). Yet, I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world! Next year will be full of more firsts in her life and ours and we are excited to see what each new day will bring!

I am reminded everyday how blessed we are to be able to help this little spirit through this life. It's a very daunting and overwhelming task, but it has many more ups than downs.

3 Months

So we made it to 3 months and we are all still alive and semi awake! It really is crazy how time goes by so fast. Caitlyn and I pretty much do the same thing everyday and you would think that time would go very very slow that way, but it doesn't. She is growing up so much! She has started babbling and I swear that most of the time she is telling me off and talking back all ready! I will do something that she doesn't like and then she will proceed to babble on and on in a matter of fact tone! She is still the most opinionated, stubborn, and most loved baby that I know!! My world wouldn't be nearly as complete without her in it and I am reminded every day how blessed Mike and I are to have her in our lives and be entrusted to take care of her!! I almost forgot, Caitlyn laughed for the first time last week. It was great and Mike was there to hear it and it made the day worthwhile!

Let it snow...

In the last two weeks we have had two big storms that have left a ton of snow in our yard! Mike wanted to take Caitlyn out to build a snowman, but she is a little young for that. So he just held her and I took a picture. She didn't seem to like to snowflakes to much when they landed on her face, she doesn't like that wind either!

The other pictures are of us singing her favorite song, "once there was a snowman...tall tall tall, in the sun he melted...small small small." She doesn't like the small part to much because she hates laying down! She always has to be sitting or standing, she's only 12 weeks old and all ready very opinionated!!!!

Bubbles

So like a new mom I always think that my baby is doing the cutest things all of the time. About 2 weeks ago Caitlyn started blowing bubbles with her mouth. I thought that it was so cute and that she was the smartest baby in the world. Now she just drools everywhere and I realize that it's not as cute and that every baby does it. But I still think that she is the cutest baby around!!!
