Caitlin smiling as she gets candy Trick or Treating

Caitlin's first Halloween was a blast. Each house we Trick or Treated at got a great big smile from Caitlin as they put candy in her pumpkin basket. Too cute!

Story time at the Umatilla Library for Halloween

Yesterday was the Umatilla Library's Halloween Story Time for newborns and toddlers. All of the kids came dressed up in their Halloween costumes. Too much fun!

This morning when I went to get a shower Caitlin had fallen back asleep on my chest. So I put her in the bouncy seat so I can see her from the shower. She was still alseep and started to droop to one side. I had to prop her up with the rolled up blankets on both sides. She slep through my whole shower!

Sitting like a big girl on the bed!

Caitlin has been working on sitting up. She can sit up if she has a little something behind her. She just needs a little bit of support. Today she sat on the bed while I put away some laundry and got dressed. What a cutie!

Napping in her swing

The past few weeks we have been having some napping issues in that Caitlin only wants to nap on Mommy, not in her swing or her crib. At night she goes to bed just find, but naps she seems to wake up as soon as I put her down. Today we had some luck and she napped in her swing twice. We are definately making progress - and this means that Mommy gets to eat lunch with both hands!!

Adding money to Caitlin's piggy bank

Caitlin's Great Grandparents send money in her Halloween Card so we have started adding it to her piggy bank. Too cute!

Hanging out in my turtle outfit!

This weekend Caitlin got dressed up in her turtle gear for her friend Aidan's first birthday party! The party was fun and Caitlin was well behaved. There were lots of fun games and things for the kids to do. It definately reminded us that she is growing up fast and soon she will be having a 1 year party. But this week she is only 12 weeks so we will savor it while we can!

This week Caitlin is 10 weeks old and weighs in at 11lbs, 11oz! She shocked me this week by going 9 hours between feedings in the middle of the night - which means Mommy got 8 hours of continuous sleep (the dogs getting up excluded)! Woo Hoo! Mommy loves happy sleeping baby!

Caitlin's 1st visit to the library!

Wednesday Caitlin turned 9 weeks old! We made our first trip to the local library (Umatilla) and Caitlin got her very own library card! The Lake County Library System has a program that babies who register for their own library card get a free book! So we got to pick out a free book to keep which was fun! We also checked out a f ew books to read at home. Today was storytime at the Mount Dora library so we went and had fun with the other infants and toddlers. Too much fun!
