Week 36

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Gobble Gobble Gobble

Over the Thanksgiving Holiday,  Bill, the kiddos and myself traveled to Bethesda to stuff our faces.  We got to see Grandma Marsha, Nana Rhoda, Aunt Phyllis and Deborah and my three cousins.  Caitlyn even got to swim in the pool at the hotel.

It was a very fun event.  We had a day break in between then traveled on Saturday to New Jersey.  We stopped by Matt's house and met up with his family and Uncle Jonathan.  It was a great seeing everyone and watch the kids interact with the Porcelli family.

Caitlyn is so close to pulling herself up.  I have been waiting for it

Week 35

"Mama Mama".. those are the sounds of Caitlyn's first words.   I been reciting this mantra for months now in our car rides to daycare.  She finally got it.  Score 1 for mommy and 0 for daddy.

Caitlyn is crawling all over the place.  Our 8 month old is now standing for a period of 1 to 2 minutes while holding onto a couch or a tall object.  She is also grasping objects and trying to pick them up or lunge herself towards them.  Caitlyn has also been doing this weird thing with her tongue by sticking it out and licking her lips. Maybe her lips are dry in the weather.

Last week, we braved the mall and got some holiday photos done of the kids and ourselves.  It was an ordeal, but glad we got this done before the holiday rush.

I can't wait for our holiday card to come in the mail.

Week 34

Halloween was a blast this year.  Colby and Caitlyn traveled around the neighborhood for over an hr.  It was too cold for Caitlyn to wear her bumblebee costume so she went as a polar bear instead.   Colby wore the same outfit as last year, the fireman.  Caitlyn fell asleep halfway through the trick or treating.  Colby at first had no clue what was happening, but soon he realized he would get candy if he said "trick or treat".  After a couple houses, all he was saying was "trick or treat".

Now that Halloween is over, it is count down to Christmas.  Booooo!!!!
