Favorite of Mine

This is one of my favorite pictures of Cait and I can't find it posted anywhere in the blog so I decided I'd add it now. I think this was back at the end of March begining of April. She wanted so badly to sit in the chair like a big girl!

Hey look that's green grass! Hasn't been green for a while now! We're on day 27 (I think) of 100+ temps... can we cool off soon please!

Always on the Phone!

Sorry for the sunlight in the background of these photos but they were too funny not to post. About a week ago we were driving to daycare and I hear Cait mumbling like she does in the back seat. We get stopped at a stoplight and I look back and she's "talking" on one of the old cell phones we gave her to play with. She continued to have her conversation all the way to daycare so when we got to the parking lot I took a couple of pictures! She was so relaxed with her arm behind her head and the other hand holding the phone! Must have been a great friend on the other line!

Foreshadowing of when she becomes a teenager? Can't you just hear it now, "MOM! I'm on the phone!!"

Growing Up!

Just a couple pictures to show how incredibly fast Caitlin is growing. She's getting her lower canines right now so pretty soon she'll have all her baby teeth. I'm not sure if she's getting her top canines just yet, I'm not sticking my fingers in there!! She is learing a lot these days. She knows some of her numbers, she loves "Id Biy Baa-buh"(which to the rest of us is Itsy Bitsy Spider) and she does the spider hand motion when she wants it sung! She loves to dance too. Anytime there's music she's dancing! She's getting better at using a fork/spoon but mostly will hold said utensil and eat with her fingers still! She's starting to color more too. She is going to be a great ambidextrous child! And she's is a shoe fiend. This child must have shoes on at all times while awake! And she will let you know if you don't get them on in time too!

Super cute toothy smile she's got now!

This is how long her hair is in the back. I was amazed the other day when I put it up!

The difference a Year Makes...

Caitlin last year, in August, at the splash park in Cameron Park.

Caitlin this year, last week of July, at Cameron Park splash park!

A Day at the Splash Park!

Last weekend we went with some friends to a splash park in Cameron Park. Cait's only been to this place one other time and it was last year so it was a totally different experience this year... she can walk around in the first place!! She loved the little fountains that sprang up the most!

She and Matthew shared a juice break on the bench! They are so cute!

We got to the splashpark early and the shade didn't last more than an hour so when we were finished there we got a clothing change and walked over the the playground! She loved climbing and swinging!

Andrew, Matthew, and Caitlin. Liz and I wanted another picture of the three of them together so we could update our shared use computer background at work! This is the best we got since there was another kid who was wanting to slide down!

Bananas

Just about the only fresh fruit I can get Cait to eat is banana. So, the other day for snack, I decided to give her a banana... a whole banana... peel and all! Just to see what she'd do with it! She only tried to eat the peel once and she devoured the entire thing! Yummy!

Backyard Swimming

It's been 100+ here for the past two weeks so one evening we decided to go swimming in the back yard! She loves to play in her little pool! Morgan paid a visit once to swim with her and Aspen came for the drinks of water Cait was giving out! She had a great time and so did we watching her play!
