Who needs a pacifier?

Check out my latest trick. I found my hand! Mommy and Daddy are convinced that I used to do this in the womb because my hand was in my mouth for one of my ultra sounds and I have been trying to figure this out since I was born.

Just another few days in my life:)

Another week, more pictures! We are all doing well. Kaitlyn has started doing this thing where she cries when she's tired and it takes us a good 20 minutes or more to get her to settle down and sleep. There is nothing wrong with her, other than she's tired and doesn't know what to do... so we have to give her a binky (which she hasn't quite figured out yet) and shhhhoosh her and rock her and sing to her and let her cry until she goes to sleep. Sometimes if we put her down, she will go to sleep after about 2 minutes of crying, but lately it has been way longer than that - we are really hoping she grows out of this as it's super stressful for us and can't be fun for her either:(

Other than that, things are good. She is sleeping pretty consistently during the night with 2 wake ups for bottles. Some nights, she is up for a few hours and might get fussy... but for the most part she only wakes up twice and a few times, she's just woken up once during the night.

Unfortunately, I am awake whether she gets up or not... it must be a mom clock I have - cause sometimes I can even have her bottle warmed and waiting for her before she gets up...

I went through all her clothes today because I hate to say it, but she's starting to grow out of her newborn clothes... it makes me so sad. So, I looked through her things to see what she had in the next size... thinking that we needed to go get stuff for her..

Boy was I wrong.

I counted 13 pj's with footies, about 20 outfits, a few pairs of pants, onesies, etc... so I think we are all set for the 3-6 month stage of her life:) I guess we can focus on 6 - 9 months and beyond now when we are shopping the sales.

Grammie and Grandpa aren't going to believe how big I am, the next time they see me.

Here are some updates from the kid herself:)

Here I am sitting and hanging out with daddy. I like to sit up and look around and listen to daddy's stories.

I also had my first introduction to the internet this week.. I'm a pro already just like my mom! Where's my Bluetooth?

At Mimi's house, everyone always sits at the counter drinking their morning coffee and talking... so I joined mommy this week and we chatted with our coffee.. (see my little cup)

Daddy and Me

Even before I got here, Daddy was already taking care of me! Here is is after painting my room all by himself - putting together my crib!

Then on my first day, he did his first diaper change ever on a baby, on me! He's a pro now! He was a little nervous in the picture below, but he QUICKLY got the hang of it, and could do it with his eyes closed now:)

You can't really see me here, but here is daddy changing my diaper like a pro. Notice the burp cloth in his back pocket! He's always prepared for leaks on either end;)

Here we are on my first day - he was tired but he still held me and loved me!

And here I am all stretched out with daddy taking a nap a few weeks later.

He is the best daddy because he sings to me, changes me (even if we go through 3 diapers in one changing) feeds me and holds me. He even makes up animals to live on Old McDonald's farm when I'm sad like lions:)

This weekend, he even walked me through the mall for my first mall trip!

Now he just has to get used to having me home at night, so that he can wake up when I cry for him - we're still working on that one;)

Busy Weekend!

Hi Everyone! I had a big day Saturday cause it was cousin Nick's 25th birthday party, so we went all the way out to Long Island to celebrate with family. I got to meet some of my cousins and aunts for the first time and I got to see my cousin Nick again.

Here I am with the birthday boy!

Here I am sleeping on Brad's bed while everyone else was partying out in the living room.

Here I am before the party wearing my super cool Naugy Letter Jacket that I borrowed from mommy's bear. All I need is a mini flag and rifle to match mommy for real!

Here I am hanging out with daddy after a bottle.

And here I am wearing the sweater mommy made for me when she was pregnant. It's a little small, so I won't be able to wear it anymore, but I got two good days out of it:)

Happy Sunday!

Baptism Weekend with my favorite friends!

This weekend was Braydon's baptism. So, we were all together and decided to take some group photos since we don't have any of all of us together:)

Here is me with mommy, Aunt Stephanie with Bradyon and Morganne and Aunt Jessica with Luke.Here is all of us!
Here is the daddy day care picture!

There were so many cameras that we are all looking all over the place, so hopefully someone else has better versions!



Before we left for the baptism, I decided to look under Luke's truck because he said he was hearing a clinking noise when he tried to turn it on. I put on my mechanics suit, the one Staff Sgt, and Daddy had to run out and buy for me the day after I came home from the hospital cause all my other clothes were too big, and I fixed his clinky noise for him. He just needed an oil change;)


And here I am testing his car out before bringing it back to him to make sure that the clinking noise was gone:) Anyone else need me to look at their car?

Me and my buddy Luke

Everyone knows Luke is my neighbor next door. He hasn't really wanted much to do with me since I've been home, but today, I got to cuddle with him for a little bit. (Mommy and Uncle Jeremy supervised us of course!!)

First I just sat next to him, and then I sat in his lap and he even hugged me! One time he did push me away towards my mommy, but then he kept putting his arms out asking to hold me again! I'm sad because hes only going to be here for 3 more months - so I have to get as much bonding time as possible with him and his mom and dad before they abandon us to go back home to Mobile!

Here I am next door with mommy and daddy, we were trying to get a family picture, cause we don't have many with all 3 of us!

Have a good weekend!

This weekend, mommy and daddy took me out on our first triple date. We went to Fridays where they got really yummy smelling cheeseburgers and I slept throught the whole thing!!!

It was a success:)

This was daddy's first time giving me a bath, and I didn't cry not one little bit. He did such a good job and it was so soothing and I didn't even wriggle as much as I usually do. Guess someone has a new full time position giving me my baths;) Mommy loves this picture, it's one of her favorites!

Here's me in my first head band;)

See ya soon!
