Kaitlyn's First Winter Coat

So I think that Erin is obsessed with fluffy bunnys. Proof of that is
this photo of Kaitlyn's first winter coat.

Kaitlyn is 3 months old

Kaitlyn is now 3 months old. She is cute as ever and smiles a ton! Her smiles make my whole day better. She is now 25 inches and 14 Lbs. Here are a few of the things she is doing these days.

1. She likes to make you think she's snuggling and wipes her drool and boogers on your shirt so you end up with a soaked shoulder sprinkled with little boogers.
   
2. She is fascinated with her fingers. She has learned that she can put her fingers really far in her mouth and make herself gag and even throw up. We are hoping she learns this is not a good thing. 
3. She also hold very long conversations with her hands
4. She adores her big sister, Lydia. Although this is nothing new. Lydia can get Kaitlyn to smile so easily! 
5. If Lydia is a drama queen then this one is a drama princess. 
6. She has learned how to turn herself completely around in her crib at night
7. She's like her mom and requires a TON of attention. If you are not paying attention to her, she will let you know
8. She likes to sit on the couch by herself and watch everyone. She is trying really hard to sit up so I don't think it will be long before that happens. 
9. She pulls my hair, clothes, necklaces and anything else she can get her hands on
10. She partially giggles, but it's more like squeals.
11. She babbles ALOT. Especially when the president is on. She likes to talk over him. I think she feels that what she has to say is more important...I have a tendency to agree.
12. She loves our daycare lady. She even has several friends there. She's very popular. There is a boy there who is a week older then her and if he hears her crying he will start to cry until she calms down. It's like he's worried that something is wrong with her. She also has a second grade friend, Annessa, who is there before and after school and never leaves her side whenever possible. She has a 3 year old friend named Maddie who yells everytime she sees us coming downstairs to drop her off. "IT'S KAAAAITLYYYYYYYNN" it is so cute and she tries to tickle Kaitlyn too and says "cooochie coooochie" every time. It is adorable. The other boys don't really care yet, they are in their own little world. 
13. If she's hungry and you take her bottle away for a second even if it is to change positions or burp her, she screams and whines.

Overall, she is a very happy baby and sweet as can be. Below are the monthly bear pictures:

Fall Colors

Today we went up to Georgetown and Silver Plume. We were going to take the Georgetown loop to see the fall colors. Unfortunately, they were sold out, so we ended up at the Aspen festival...sadly, that wasn't all that fun either. At least we still got to see some of the beautiful leaves.  

Lydia's visit

This weekend Lydia came to visit. As always, it was so much fun to have her here.  Friday Lydia and her dad had a daddy/daughter date. I went to work, Kaitlyn was at daycare and they hopped on the motorcycle and went to Dave and Busters to play....I think they got the better deal. :) I am just glad they had so much fun. 

When they got back and Kaitlyn and I were home, Lydia's friend, Jenna came over to play and spent the night. The girls had a blast. They played games including twister. I even joined in for one game with Lydia. It was quite obvious I was out of practice. I guess 12 years will do that to a person. Lydia beat me hands down. I had the girls go to bed where they talked and giggled for at least an hour in the dark. We found out the next morning that they had tried a new art of coloring in the dark...It was quite interesting. 

Lydia has a special gift of making Kaitlyn smile. Kaitlyn absolutely adores her big sister. The 2 girls are so cute together. 

 

We can't wait for her to visit again. 

Asleep at the Dinner Table

Kaitlyn recently decided that she didn't want to be left out of dinner conversation every night, so we put her in her high chair and let her sit with us.  Apparently the conversation was a little dull last night.
