8 Months
Grandpa Dalton thought it would be funny to buy Caitlin some Cubs gear. I think we already “lost” it somewhere in our condo!!!!
We had a fun visit with Blake, Joey, Laney and Hadley at the end of August! The daddies took the girls to Lincoln Park Zoo while the mommies went shopping on Armitage! Fun Day for all! That night we thought it would be fun to go out to dinner with 3 kids who were nap-deprived. Let’s just say it was an interesting dinner!! At least the food was good. Actually, the girls did an amazing job at dinner considering they were all tired!
Caitlin is such a happy girl! She loves almost everything. The swing at the park is her favorite. She also LOVES her bath, especially now that she can take a bath like a big girl. She laughs like crazy when Grant squirts her with her bath toys. It is too funny. She is willing to try almost any type of food we give her. Some of the new ones are: toast, black beans, crackers, pumpkin, yogurt melts, bread. She actually didn’t like asparagus and hard boiled egg yolks! We’ll keep trying with those. Caitlin has gained lots of weight since starting formula and solids. She weighs 16 lbs. 4 oz. as of Sept. 11. We are very happy because she was so small for such a long time!!
It has been a rough transition to daycare (more for me than for her). Caitlin LOVES playing with the other kids and has a huge smile on her face when I leave her there in the morning. The only problem is that she doesn’t want to take her morning nap there. This makes for a crabby baby when I pick her up. At least she is getting one good nap there (an hour and 45 minutes). I really hope she starts taking both naps. She is such a good sleeper at home. She usually takes two 1 1/2 to 2 hour naps a day and sometimes a third nap. Then, she sleeps about 11 hours at night. I am just so happy that she is still sleeping through the night!
