Boyfriend

So it seems that Caitlyn all ready has a crush on a boy. This doesn't make her dad very happy because he is supposed to be the only man in her life until she is at least 30 or so and then maybe she can date, but that is still debatable. She gives him bigger smiles than her dad. So her new boyfriend comes from her favorite movie, of course. She smiles so big every time his solo song Bet on It comes on. And as you can see she is sitting up on her own, she started doing it really well about a week ago, she still takes a face plant every once in awhile!! If you click on the picture you can see how big her smile is.

6 MONTHS

Wow! Our little baby is a whole half a year old!! I only wish that the time went by this fast while I was pregnant, that seemed to take forever! Now it seems that time is going by way to fast and that she is growing up too quickly for me. Life has been entertaining and tiring here in the Richards home. That is mostly due to the ever changing world of our little Caitlyn Roo! She is such a little sweatheart and stinker all rolled up into one irresistibly entertaining girl. Here are some more pictures! I apologize for the excessive amount of pictures in her diaper. I am the crazy mom that always has to have her dressed. But, lately all the pictures take place in her diaper because she has to eat naked since she makes such a mess and she likes to scoot around and try to crawl without clothes because clothes make her knees slide out from under her!!


She likes to drink from the sippy cup and gets really excited and crossed eyed all the time from trying to look at the cup. She also gets really excited to be up on her hands and knees.

So jealous that she can do the plank position! I sure can't. She is getting so good at hoping onto her knees, then she pushes up into this pike position. She hasn't figured out how to move her arms yet and usually ends up taking a face plant in to the carpet!

She has now graduated to the duck bath and she loves it. She just lounges around and trys to flip onto her stomach, fun and relaxing for her, not so much for me!! She all ready has the mischievous look down!

We took Caitlyn to the park for the first time since it got semi warm, around 40 or so. I felt like I was back at BYU and at the first sign of warm weather everyone is hanging out in their shorts outside playing Frisbee, laying out and trying to get a tan, now I am part of the Spring Fever crowd!! Caitlyn loves the swing, I know she looks funny in the hat but it was the only thing I could do to keep the sun out of her eyes because she hates having the sun in her eyes!

All for Caitlyn

Mike once again requested more pictures of his little girl since he has hard days at work now and she is one thing that makes him smile. So this week I have been a little out of it on the blog thing since I didn't have a computer most of the time. See, I used to have a computer room and a craft room, not that I am very crafty but it was fun to say that I had one. Now we had to combined the two rooms since we are making the craft room into Caitlyn's play room. Since we have all ready seen how destructive Caitlyn can be, we can only imagine the messes she will get into when she can crawl and walk. So, we are giving her a whole room to do what ever she would like in and then barricading her from the rest of the house!! We think that it will work for about a week until she figures out how to get around the gates! So that has been my fun week of painting and organizing and all the fun stuff that goes along with that, all for Caitlyn. Next month we have to start fixing the actual play room, unless she starts crawling in the next week or so, which is always possible with her. So here are some fun pictures from the last week or so:


Caitlyn has a new toy, thanks to her Dad. He took a box and hooked a rope to it, actually a ghetto extension cord, and a blanket and pulls her around in it! She loves it more than all her other expensive toys!

So this is how my little girl sleeps every night! Seriously! I haven't been able to get a picture in the act but the other night we were getting her ready for bed and she was rolling around and this is what she did! I put her to sleep on her back but she always ends up like this, on the other side of the crib too!! She is a crazy one!

She's just chillin' watching her favorite show, High School Musical 2!

She loves her Daddy, and they always seem to somehow have the same pose going on, it's not staged I promise!!!

She now loves to just open her mouth as wide as possible, which is pretty wide. That is how she smiles and laughs, I think it is pretty funny!
