This last weekend, while home visiting our families for Christmas, we all gathered at Holy Cross Lutheran in North Miami for Caitlin's baptism. It was a small service, very quiet and intimate. Making the occasion even more special, Kathy was baptized along with Caitlin. This was reminiscent of my father being baptized along with me. It was a wonderful day.

An Early Giggle
One of the most common comments about Caitlin is how happy she is. Kathy and I think so too. Given how happy she is, this clip is long overdue.

Developmental Milestones
This weekend we saw tremendous changes in Caitlin. She is eating from the spoon well as you can see. She took the spoon from me and wouldn't give it back! She rolled over repeatedly, giggled when we kissed her tummy, and chatted the whole weekend almost nonstop! We are also making significant progress on naptime! What a difference a weekend makes!

In her walker at Grammy's house
Caitlin got another new experience at Grammy & Papa's house - going in a walker! She hasn't quite got the hang of it yet but she is working on it. When she gets really excited her legs kick and she moves just a little bit - and she can only move backwords! I anticipate having a little runner when we come back for Christmas!
Caitlin visiting Grammy & Papa's work
While we were down visiting for Thanksgiving Caitlin got to visit Grammy & Papa's work. The proud Grandparents had a great time showing her off!
My first taste of real food: mashed potatoes
Our pediatrician said that Caitlin could celebrate Thanksgiving with a small bite of mashed potatoes! This was her first taste of real food and her first experience with a spoon! She didn't seem to be a fan - she pushed it back out and made a face! Although I hear that all babies initially push food back out when first confronted with solids. This week the pediatrician gave the ok to start Caitlin eating Rice Cereal from a spoon and we will advance to veggies and fruit!

Tummy Time Pushups!
Caitiln has been getting so strong - she practically does pushups during her tummy time now!
A Laugh is worth a thousand words
Last night when I took Caitlin for our walk she gave me a great surprise -her first laugh! I was making our choo-choo train noise (chug a chug a chug a chug a meep meep) when at the end she gave me a little chuckle! What a sweet sound!
