Went to the doctor and the doctor said...

No more Caitlin jumping on the bed... Ok, not really but I had to finish the song! I got up this morning and called Dr. Orr's office, got Cait in at 9am. He looked at it and said that her toe should go back to normal on its own, with the aid of an antibiotic. Sean, who worked the night before and had no sleep, and I were relieved that there didn't have to be any drainage of her toe! We started the antibiotic tonight and we're keeping her on Motrin too.

She was the best little girl today. She was all smiles, hugs and kisses even though I know her toe was bothering her. She is such a good baby! She and I went out to dinner after Sean left for work and she was perfect for me. So anywho, I just wanted to update anyone who reads this so you know she's going to be obie kabie!

Angry Toe!

Cait did not sleep at all last night and I had no idea why well we found out today. I went to pick her up from daycare and brought her home. I asked Sean to look her over and see if he can tell something I couldn't. Well I took her socks off and this is what we found on her pinky toe! The other day she stubbed it somewhere and split the nail so I clipped it off and thought nothing of it until now! So here are some photos of her infected foot. Needless to say, we're calling the doctor in the morning and will be in for some fun drainage!

11 Months Down...

I can hardly belive that Caitlin was born 11 months ago! She continues to amaze us with what she learns and knows! She is crawling like a champ these days, I think she's racing the dogs sometimes! Needless to say, she gets where she's going fast! She is saying "da da da" and "ba ba ba" A LOT! And very loudly! She definitely wants to be the center of attention and if you haven't paid her much she'll get it! She will stand up on her own and walk along the couch. She has had spurts of standing without holding on but not for very long! She also will sit down to get a toy she's dropped instead of falling down. She has learned how to throw temper tantrums by arching her back and "thowing" herself back! Those are fun... she doesn't do this very often but when she does it's dramatic! She also likes to eat whatever we are eating so I buy very few baby food jars anymore. The daycare has some and we have some on hand just in case but the only baby food she's eaten recently is the fruit I mix into her oatmeal! Otherwise, what we cook she eats! And I don't think we've found anything that she just won't eat yet which is good!

For Sue!

These are for Sue who is currently on lock-down at Scott and White Hospital. They locked down S&W because they transported some of the people from Ft. Hood who were injured in todays shooting there. So here are some pictures of Caitlin for her viewing pleasure *and everyone elses* while she waits to be let out to go home!!
