Smiling with my butterflies

It's unbelievable how much Caitlin has changed in the last 7 weeks! Today at Mommy/Baby Tea she was very alert watching all of the other babies and moms. Today she gave me the widest smile Ihave ever seen - repeatedly... it was a major reward for all of our hard work!

Oh Hello!

Caitlin and I watched UCF's first game in their new stadium this afternoon. She was a little less excited about it than me :)

Today was my 6 week checkup appointment so I took the opportunity to get a photo of Caitlin with Dr. Bartfield. Dr. Bartfield delivered Caitlin at Winnie Palmer on August 1, 2007. I love that she is smiling while he holds her!

What a treat! Kathy and I were having breakfast at Cracker Barrel this morning with her Mom and Aunt and I happened to see this book on the clearance shelf. It's a book I used to read as a child. I had just mentioned it in conversation with some friends a few weeks ago. I was so happy to be able to buy it for Caitlin.

Like Mother Like Daughter, Part 3

On the left is a photo of me with my turtle in 1977. On the right is a photo of Caitlin with my turtle. As the story goes... when I was a baby and my parents took me shopping I picked up this turtle and would not let it go. Now Caitlin can enjoy my turtle as well. Like Mother like Daughter!

5 Weeks old today!
