18 months old...

Boy have we come a long way! Caitlin turned 18 months old on June 7th! We went to her well check this past monday and she is doing very well! She was 31" tall (25th percentile) and weighed 25lbs (50th percentile). Doctor Orr checked her out and then she got 4 shots and she is all caught up until she turns 4! Yay for that! I did talk to him about her allergies which stick around all year and he told us that we could use Zyrtec. It's the only one that's been tested successfully in children under two years. He also told me that he could tell she had allergies and that she doesn't just have a runny nose because she has these folds under her eyes and "babies don't have wrinkles!" So we'll try the Zyrtec when we need to! Thankful for that too!

Cait is starting to talk A LOT more these days. She has said baby, hi, more, all done, shoe (sho) and sock (tha), bye, dog (is still da), no, and of course momma and dadda. She put her first sentence together a couple weeks ago (or at least that's what I'm saying!!!) and said , "hi dad" as Sean walked past her in the living room. It was pretty neat and took me a minute to realize what she said! I'm sure I'm forgetting some other words but you know what I mean, she's developing well!

She eats what we are eating for meals. She's been doing that since she was about 10 months old. We've been very lucky that she hasn't been too picky YET! She has started getting a little more picky about fresh fruits and veggies. She loves dried cranberries though! She has a very healthy appetite too!

Other than all the technical development going on she continues to be a great kid! She is such a happy baby and we know we've been blessed by her! Can't wait for what's to come!

To Infinity and Beyond!

Cait has decided that she likes Buzz Lightyear. Her Aunt Michelle gave this to her a few weeks ago and now he's her favorite in the car toy! In fact, she's learning how to give kisses and every time we get in the car she has to give Buzz a kiss!

Hiking

We went to the zoo on Saturday so we needed to do something on Sunday too! We met up with some new friends and went for a "hike" on one of Cameron Park's trails at Jacob's Ladder. We had a lot of fun. Cait did not want to walk all of this one though so she spent a lot of time on her Daddy's shoulders!

To the Zoo We Go Again!

Cait needed to get out of the house this past weekend. (OK, so we needed Cait to get out of the house this past weekend!) Anyway we decided to go to the zoo on saturday morning. It was super hot early but we went anyway. Cait has moved past the stage of just sitting in a stroller because she is a big girl and can walk so she walked the zoo. She did pretty well actually!

Mommy's Clown!

Just another picture of Cait in her clown costume that I took before the program started! Isn't she cute!

Aspen's Blanket

Recently Caitlin has discovered that blankets can be in more places than just the crib. She hasn't taken one out yet, we've brought them out with her but she likes having them around especially because Aspen (THE HUSKY!!!) needs one! She has twice put a blanket on Aspen and then laid down on/with her! Aspen is not too keen on this idea and there is a little rumbling coming from her but otherwise she's a very good sport!!

Silly Little Clown

Harvest Time had a "graduation" program for the 4 year olds going to Kindergarten next year... (everyone gets a graduation these days!)... and each class had a performance. Cait's class got dressed up like clowns and "sang" this clown song to the tune of "I'm a Little Tea Pot." Only 3 of her classmates came but they were very cute!
