iPod Tag

I find it ironic that I've never been tagged before, and I got tagged twice in the past couple of days!

Here are the instructions: Pick up your IPOD and go to Playlists..then toTop 25 most Played(this could be embarassing!)

11 Months

I can't believe that we have almost had my little angel for nearly a year. We have experienced so much in the past eleven months and gone from this:

to this:

Who would have known? Caylin is now walking, talking (she says about ten words), and getting into everything she can! She weighs less than 16 pounds and is our little munchkin. I love you Caylin! Happy eleven months!

Lovey

So this is Caylin's beloved "Lovey." It is so cute because she cannot go to sleep without it. As soon as we give it to her at night and it hits her face, she is in automatic sleep mode. Nearly every time I go to check on her during the night, she is clutching the thing as well. I also love that when she gets up, she has to have lovey before she gets out of the crib. I finally grabbed the camera tonight and snapped some photos of her with it.

I love this one!

Midget Feet

We all inherit things from our parents, and Caylin definitely inherited her daddy's feet. So I was thinking on Saturday that now that Caylin is pretty much walking everywhere, she would need some new shoes for church. The ones she usually wears are patent leather on the bottom, and I figured that probably wouldn't work too well. I went several places trying to find some black church shoes, but Colby and I ended up at Wal Mart Saturday night and found some white shoes there. Well, little miss tiny feet ended up getting a new pair of white church shoes, size 1! Luckily they did have shoes that small with tread on the bottom, because I don't think they really anticipated anyone who can fit in them to really be walking around!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Just want to say Happy Valentine's Day to my two sweethearts! I don't know what I would do without either of them!

How to get in, and out, of a predicament

Caylin got herself in and out of this one all by herself!

Enough said!

First Steps

Caylin took her first steps tonight! I was so shocked! Just yesterday she really started standing on her own for up to 30 seconds at a time, and even got to standing by herself. I was pretty sure that she would be taking some steps soon, but I didn't think it would be this soon. Tonight Colby and I went out with some friends and when we got back, my mom said that Caylin had taken a step by herself. Well, I armed myself with the video camera and we got her going. I was lucky enough to catch a few steps. It is only a matter of time now until she is really off!

10 Months

Where has the past 10 months gone? I can't believe how big my little girl is getting. She is learning new things every day, and it boggles my mind how smart she is. The cutest thing she has picked up in the last couple of weeks is that she now knows who mom and dad are. When she wants me, she'll cry "mom, mom, mom," and it melts me! She also does the hand gesture for "I don't know," and points her finger and shakes it for "no more monkeys jumpin' on the bed!"

I don't know!

No more monkeys jumpin' on the bed!

Tonight we had an "eclair cake" for dessert and she really wanted some, so we stripped her down and let her go at it. I think she liked it!

Daddy's Home!

For the past year and a half, Colby has been working the late shift at work (1 - 9:30), and I hated it. On most days he would be at the carwash in the mornings as well, so we really didn't see him all day long. Not to mention the fact that Caylin doesn't go to bed until 10:30 or 11:00 so she can have some time with dad when he gets home from work. Well, Colby has been moved to a different department, so he will be working from 6am - 2 starting Monday! Yeah! I cannot tell you how excited I am for this, and the fact that we can have a social life again (it's really hard to have a social life when Saturday nights are the only time you can get together with friends!). Caylin can also start to get on more of a "normal" sleeping schedule as well!

One thing I am actually really excited for is to start cooking dinners. I know that sounds lame, but I am excited to learn to really cook. I even asked for an apron for Christmas (no, I didn't have an apron at all, if that says anything about my culinary experience) and got two very cute ones. If anyone has any great dinner recipes, I am certainly open to suggestions!
