It's been a while...


So as you all know I've been busy thus no update on the blog for a while. Well, Sean has the night off so I decided that I'd write a little something since we're both home and he can get Cait if she is to wake up while typing! By the way, this was the picture I took of her just a few minutes ago...she didn't take long to pass out after this!

Ahh, yes, the wonderful face of Caitlin we see so often! She's even cute when she's mad! A couple updates for you...
Just as soon as I typed that she was fitting comfortably in her newborn clothes she decided to try one of these growth-spirts. She did amazingly well. I am nursing her and we had been supplementing once, maybe twice a day with formula before I went back to work so I could pump and Sean would have milk for
when I went back to work. Well just as I started back to work she decides that she is the most starving kid on the face of the Earth! Litterally! It took us a bit but we finally got to the store to get rice cereal to put a little in her bottle so she could get something substancial in her tummy. After about a week she actually slept for more than two hours during the night, she slept four hours in a row! Thus making the happy baby as you see here. This is the closest I've gotten to get a picture of her smile! She is holding them longer now but I'm slow to get the camera and then it's slow turning on and actually taking the picture. Maybe I'll get a faster camera one day!

This was just an adorable picture of Sean and Cait sleeping on the couch. Sorry it's so dark but I took it without them knowing!!

Anyway, back to the growth-spirt. She was fitting well in the newborn size for about 2 weeks and she's up to the 0-3 month size now. Some newborn things still fit, depends on the maker, but she's growing into the 0-3's fast. I think she'll be in them for a bit longer, they're still a little big on her!

Ooohh! I'm wide awake here! This was just a cute picture!
So, Caitlin has her two week appointment on Feb. 10th. We'll find out how much she weighs, how long she is, and she also gets the first round of well baby shots! Her doctor uses a vaccine with multiple vaccines in it so this drastically cuts down on the number of times she'll get stuck. I think there's three in one (Hep B, IPV, DTaP) and then she should only get one more injection. And maybe by then she'll have a cousin! Michelle and I are anxious to see who is going to outweigh the other, Gillian or Caitlin! We'll just have to wait and see!

Glad to finally see an update! She's still adorable (I don't think that will change anytime soon or ever, for that matter).
