Auntie Val visits form Arizona!

Cailin, you are so lucky to have an Auntie who is so in love with you as Auntie Val! She loves coming to visit which I know is difficult because she lives all the way in Arizona. Val flew out over the veterans day holiday to come see you. She was so excited to see how much you have grown and how interactive you are getting. She also flew out for a special reason... she was becoming your Godmother! Uncle Mike became your Godfather as well, but he was unable to fly out this time :( He was so sad to miss it and he called us on your special day to check up on you. (more on the Baptism later)

Val was so nice and spoiled your rotten while she was here. You spent 3 nights over GG's house with Val. It is the longest I have ever been away from you and although it was sad to have you away for that long, I know Auntie Val was so happy to see you for that extra time!

She bought you TONS of new clothes! You got to go to Bass Pro SHops with Uncle Paul, GG, and Val to get your picture taken with Santa! He was there over that weekend and you were very lucky to be able to see him!

Val also took you to get your pictures taken! Val bought you this beautiful creme colored dress, and the first white one is your Christening gown!


oops, I drooled mid-photo! ;)





My happy baby girl!
















Cailin 5 months Old

Cailin, you are such a sweet, loving little baby. You give me hugs all the time and love getting kissies from Mama! You can roll, roll, roll! You love it AND guess what?1 You now love tummy time too, which is amazing since you hated it until about a week ago! You can sit when propped up by pillows and love it when we hold you up so you can stand. You sleep through the night 7-630, and still take 2-2hr naps a day and sometimes sneak a little third one in before bed. You have been totally obsessed with daddy for about 3 weeks now. Like, OBSESSED! As soon as you hear the front door open you look right towards the front hall to watch him come in and get so excited when you see him!

You love playing in your exersaucer and gym, and LOVE being at daycare. There is only one other daycare girl, Olivia, and sometimes Lilliana and Priscilla are there too. Silla loves you. she plays with you all the time and wards off Jackson who likes to steal your toys. You are also baby friends with Tate. He is so loud but you are always staring at him when I come to get you and sometimes you are playing next to each other in your bumbo seats. I heard that even one time Suzana saw you two holding hands!

You are a nosey baby too and have to know what is going on at all times. Cailin, you also like to chew on everything! Seriously, dads hand, your toys, and you take your binky out so you can chew on it! You also drool a lot. Teething? Possibly, but you have been doing this for a while now.

You finally notice the cats. I think you are aware tat they are living things in the house and you like to track them when they walk by especially Nicky. Sylvester tries to stay as far away from you as possible but Nicky is more interested. He likes to stand in the doorway to your room while we are playing, sit on the dining room chair when you are playing in your exersaucer, which I put there so I can wash bottles and dishes and still talk to you!

You outgrew your bouncy chair, which is sad since you spent so much time there as a little baby. You loved it and it was the only place you would sleep for the longest time. You have been sleeping flat in your crib since you were 2 months old. You love it! For naps and bedtime ass I need to do is lay ou down, put your mittens on, swaddle you, and give you a binky then poof! You are instantly asleep. Sometimes you cry for 1 or 2 minutes but that has become rare.

All in all Cailin, you are the best baby a mommy and daddy could ask for! We couldn't have asked for anything more! You are perfect!

4 month update (late)

Cailin turned 4 months on 10/18, which was also Dan's birthday. I got to spend some time with Cailin after work and then our friend Aimee came and watched her *sleep* while me and Dan went to The Black Raven in Waltham. The food was pretty good and we were both able to have a cocktail.

Cailin is reaching all of her milestones: she is reaching, cooing, and making lots of noise. She had a dr's appoitnment in late October. She was 15lbs 11oz, 26 inches long, she is in the 70th percentile for weight and 96th percentile for length! What a tall baby!
