Caits in action!

Caitlyn has been on the move big time lately... She's crawling, standing, pushing stools, and even plays with the pups! I thought we should give you a little taste of her in action :)

5 Little pumpkins...

Break-through week...

I just had to share that I wore underwear to school 3 days last week!! And didn't have any accidents!! I think my teachers were shocked because I never used the toilet at school (why use the toilet when you can just user your diaper ?? :).... So I think when my mom told them that I was going to go diaper free they were a bit skeptical - but I made them believers :)... I was pretty excited to were underwear - I was sure to tell everyone in the class as soon as I got there ... "I'm wearing underwear!!!" We'll see if I can do a whole week next week!!

Caitlyn's 8 months old!

You should see my little sister these days... She's doing so much I can barely believe it!! She's pretty much mastered the "army crawl" - can spin on a dime, and be anywhere she wants to be in about 10 seconds.. She likes to sit up and clap alot too.... She trying to figure out how to feed herself but she still needs a bit of help so I try to help when I can. (plus I can sneak some yummy bites for myself as well :).
We had to lower her crib down because we kept finding her standing up in her crib. That's her latest gig - she loves to pull herself up on stuff. The bathtub is a favorite for sure... but the drawer under the stove and the coffee table work pretty well too... I even saw her take some steps pushing a stool across the kitchen!



The best part about watching her pull up on things is that she tries soo hard to get up there (grunting and groaning) and then once she's up she gets this huge grin (she's so proud of herself :). I'm pretty proud of her!

Trick-r-Treat!

Well, It's official - I fully took advantage of the whole Trick-r-Treat thing this year!! I even got to indulge in loads of chocolate that all sorts of nice people handed out to me just for standing there and smiling at them... probably helped that I looked pretty cute in my butterfly wings :) Some houses seemed a bit scary so I opted out on those, but for the houses that looked "friendly" I hung with the crew and waited my turn to get a fun treat. Caitlyn went too - but she's not old enough (like me:) to get candy yet... Maybe next year Caits!!

We were a pretty cute pair though as butterflies...(If I do say so myself!)... Dad on the other hand, now that was a different story!!

Colorado Visit!

I had SO MUCH FUN in Colorado! I was a bit under the weather the day we flew out but I made it through the flight w/o having to use the little white bag (which my mom was very relieved about!!)... Caitlyn and I got to spend lots of time with Yiayia and Papou since my mom was working from Colorado. We went on lots of fun walks, played at the playground and did some really fun "projects" at the house like making play-doh and baking cookies :).
I got to hang out with my best-bud Sam who moved to Colorado a few months ago. We haven't seen each other for a while, but you would never know it ... we picked up just where left off being silly, making each other laugh, and having tons of fun. He's a big brother now too, so we have that in common too! Charlie (Sam's little brother) and Caitlyn got some quality time together too on a nice little hike in the Boulder foothills....they seemed to have lots of fun and I think they liked each other... :)




I also got to spend the weekend with my cousins Leo and TJ. We had tons of fun playing at the house, hanging at the playground and having dinners together. I don't get to see my cousins much, so it was super great to get so much time together.

Yiayia and I had a special outing to the Butterfly muesem. It pretty much sealed the deal that I was going to be a butterfly for Halloween... I was on the fence, but once I saw all the beautiful butterlies I decided I HAD to be one! I decided Caitlyn should be one too :)

Colorado sure was beautiful and tons of fun!! Can't wait to go back!
