Here are a few pictures from an early birthday celebration with Caylin's Granny Brown, while she was in town for a visit! That adorable hat is Caylin's Birthday Hat (Thanks Gma and Gpa Brown); it is made to look like a birthday cake, with "Birthday Girl" written on top of it. Hindsight, we realized we didn't actually get a pictures of Caylin w/Granny this time. So, we're posting a picture of Caylin and Granny from their first meeting!
About a week later, it was time for a Ladybug Picnic! It was a beautiful day for a picnic! Caylin was blessed to have several family members and friends available to celebrate eventhough it was Memorial Weekend! I think the pictures show how much fun she had!
Our emerging toddler is still quite a little girl, (just shy of 17lbs at her 12month dr. visit). Most people we encounter thing she is only 9months or so old. She loves to do things with her hands and touch everything! Caylin has been learning some sign language... big surprise there! She can sign: eat, more, all done, book, baby, and hat. We're still working on: drink, milk, mama, dada, and Abbie (dog). She waves and says "hi" to almost everyone she see, making shopping and other activities feel like are in a parade ( you know, momma and daddy are the vehicles and Caylin is the pretty girl). She has recently started to say "ni, ni"(night, night), when she is ready for bedtime. She has been saying "dada" for quite a while, but still only seems to say "mama" when she is frustrated or wants something... go figure! Caylin isn't walking by herself yet, but she definitely loves to stand up almost anywhere she can and has recently begun to cruise around on the furniture. When she can't stand or cruise, she relies on her own version of a crawl to get around; which looks more like a wounded soldier crawl. Caylin didn't cut her first tooth until just before her 1st birthday. However, they have been popping out since, with number 4 almost through.
Below, is one more picture, taken on Father's day weekend at Gma&Gpa and Dave&Joan's boat. Caylin is chilling on the boat after swimming at the marina's pool! This girl love the water, much to her daddy's delight! She is eating one of her favorites, cantaloupe!
Life with Caylin is so fun and rewarding! So much so that we seem to have trouble finding time updating the blog... Hope this serves for a nice update since the winter!!!
