Kaitlynn and I had a great week at home leading up to a long weekend with 'dada.' We had a picnic lunch with Kelly on Wednesday, lunch with my dad on Thursday, and a pool playdatewith Andrea and her son Jack.

*I'm pretty sure this is a "let me play instead of eat" face!!

Kaitlynn loves being outside! We always try and head outside to play once Kelly is on his way home. Kaitlynn loves seeing her daddy pull into the driveway :o) Her face always lights up!!

Like every weekend, Memorial Wknd. flew by! Thankfully Kelly had Monday off from work, but it didn't feel like a 3-day weekend. While he headed to Ellijay with Kaitlynn for lunch on Saturday with his mom & sister, I went with my dad to Charlotte to meet my newest niece!Jeslyn is absolutely perfect and I just adore her!!

A few updates on Kaitlynn.......
*The past month, Kaitlynn has slept from 7:30pm - 6:00am like clockwork! Even though it's an early rise for Kelly and myself, it's been amazing getting 8-hours of solid sleep.
*Kaitlynn is still taking 2 naps each day - usually around 9:30am & 2:30pm for 1.5 hours each.
*Kaitlynn is taking 6.5 oz of formula every 4.5 - 5 hours and 8 oz. of formula before bedtime!
*Kaitlynn is still eating mostly Gerber stage 2 pureed foods. We've been introducing her to finger foods slowly, but not too much interest yet. She does like cheerios, yogurt melts, and strawberries.
*We've started adding in two servings of rice cereal (mixed in with breakfast fruit & her lunch veggies).
*She LOVES yogurt - we've been giving her strawberry & peach yogurt once a day.
*Still no signs of crawling. She wants to crawl out of our arms, so the interest is there, just not on the floor yet :o) However, she loves to be on her feet! She hasn't pulled herself up to a standing position yet, but she likes to stand and hold onto things with us behind her as a guide.
*We take a morning walk for 30 minutes everyday around 8am before breakfast!
Kaitlynn loves the swimming pool. We're starting our swim lessons at Aqua-Tots this Wednesday morning!
*Kaitlynn is still talking like crazy. She will mimic what you say to her.
*Her laugh is absolutely contagious and makes us melt every time she starts!
**It's hard to believe that in less than 3 months, our baby girl with be a 1 year old!
How did it feel to be holding an itty bitt baby again? I held one the other week---he was so light!
