Consignment Shopping

So...I have just discovered consignment sales!!!  So much fun!  This weekend we had a children's consignment sale in the area and I took some things to sell and then decided to shop while I was there...I got so much stuff that I needed and....wanted!  So so so fun!  Warren kept laughing at me and asking why Caitlin needed more dresses :)  I even found a pair of leapord print sunglasses for her and she doesn't seem to mind wearing them!

Two Month Appointment

Well...Miss Caitlin finally had her 2 month appointment on Tuesday.  This was a very exciting appointment because we learned how much Caitlin had grown...and it was not fun because Caitlin had to get the first of her immunizations...yikes! 

Caitlin was measured and she is in the 15% percentile of babies her age...meaning... she is tiny.  Our pediatrician said she is not surprised as Warren and I are little people :o) 

These are her measurements at birth:
Weight: 6 pounds 8 ounces
Length: 18 inches
Head circumference: 13.5 inches

Her measurements at 2 months:
Weight: 10 pounds 5 ounces
Length: 22 inches
Head circumference: 15 inches

She is getting to be a big girl!!!

She ended up getting 5 shots and 1 immunization was taken orally.  Warren held her little legs and they gave her all her shots in her legs and then they gave her Charley Brown band-aids.  I, of course, cried...thank goodness Warren was there as I was useless!  She bounced back very quickly...thank goodness.

Caitlin @ Work

Friday, July 29, 2011 was Caitlin's first day of work :)  I went back to work for a few days and took her with me...it's so fun to have a little buddy with me!  She mostly slept in her travel swing which allowed me to get some things done...thank goodness!  I will officially go back to work in September and will take Caitlin with me.

Caitlin dancing :)

Just thought I would share this with you all.  This is how Caitlin and Warren spend a lot of their time together...dancing!  Caitlin seems to have a great time and when Warren stops...she starts crying!  As soon as he starts dancing again, she stops crying and holds her arms out to her side...super cute!

Two months old!

Miss Caitlin is now 2 months old!  So many things have changed in her very short life.  She is now able to entertain herself for periods of time and last night she slept for 6 1/2 hours straight...that's a new record!!  She is also learning co-ordination and control her limbs (although she is still all over the place with her movements).  Hey neck is getting much stronger, soon she will be able to hold it up independently.  A couple of days ago, she made an effort at crawling...super cute! 

Next week, Caitlin will have her 2 month appointment and she will be measured and weighed.   I am so curious to see how much she weighs now!  Warren and I are guessing she is close to 8 pounds now and it seems she has gotten a lot longer!  She will also have to start getting some of her shots.  :(  She was a real trooper in the hospital when she had her heal pricked etc. so we'll see how she does now that she's a little older.  I imagine I will be more upset than miss Caitlin.  She is actually scheduled to get 6 shots at once, but I don't know if Warren & I are going to have her get all of those at once.  That seems like a lot for such a little person!

A few of Caitlin's favorite things...

Little Caitlin is now in her 8th week of life.  She mostly eats, sleeps, and poops...but she is developing a little personality inside that little body.  Some of Caitlin's favorite things are...dancing, going on walks, being naked (diaper changes are a lot of fun for her), bathing, and watching the ceiling fan.  What does Caitlin hate the most???  Her car seat!  Caitlin is getting use to sitting in her car seat but fights sleep, so she is miserable a lot of the time.  Sometimes she is all sweaty from screaming by the time we get to our location.  Needless to say, it makes going places a little difficult sometimes.
