So...Caitlin is a 1 year old now.  She just had her birthday and baptism on Mother's Day and I couldn't have enjoyed the day more.  Both sets of grandparents came out and so did my sister!  I'll post pics later.

Caitlin has overnight started showing signs of understanding what I'm saying and responding some...it's so crazy.  Tonight, I was trying to get Caitlin's attention and I kept calling her name and she, of course, kept playing with her toy...until I said, "Caitlin, look at mommy" (I say that a lot).  As soon as I said it, she looked right at me waiting to see what was up...that was really fun for me.  She is really into airplanes now and every time she hears one, she lights up.  She seems like she is trying to do the sign and is trying to say the word.  Too funny!  Yesterday, we were pointing at our noses (she just figured out how to point last week) and mouths.  She is really catching on quickly and I am having so much fun teaching her about things.

This morning on our morning jog we saw several rabbits and birds and had a great time watching them and pointing.  For that matter, we were almost attacked by geese and squirrels this afternoon.  We went to Lake Murray for a picnic and the animals were closing in on us so we ended up having to move to a picnic table instead of our blanket on the ground...but it was really fun getting to see all of the animals!

Learning to Jump at 10 Months

Our friends have been so awesome and have given us so many hand me downs for Caitlin!  One of them is a Jumper.  I caught Caitlin finally jumping in the thing!!!  Seems like it's a lot of fun.

Sick with high fevers at 10 months.

Miss Caitlin has been sick the last 3 days and has been running high temperatures.  Saturday night she woke up with a temperature of 105.1 and terrible upset.  Warren & I gave her a bath and gave her Tylenol and got it back down to the 103s before she would go back to sleep...it's  been a long weekend.  She seems to be feeling a lot better now...however, she still had a tiny temp when she went to bed tonight.

Caitlin is getting bigger and nosy!

Caitlin is getting bigger & bigger!  Her bottom 2 teeth broke through when she was 8 1/2 months old...that was not fun.  No fever but lot's of fussiness for a LONG time!  But the finally popped through.  She is now 10 months old and she has some white areas on her top gums where her teeth are getting ready to break through.

She just had her 9 month appointment and she weighed 15lbs 10oz.  She is in the 8th % for her weight; 5% for her height; and 50th% for her head (she has a big melon, lol).  So she's a little munchkin.  She will have to be a gymnist or something because it doesn't look like she'll get to be a volleyball player :)

I've attached some videos so you can see how nosy she is becoming.

Fun pictures...from the last few months.

Caitlin had her first food...oatmeal!

Yesterday, Caitlin tried her first foods.  She seemed to take to it pretty well and wanted to grab the spoon every time....consequently she got to wear her food too!  Hope you enjoy the video :)
