Happy New Year!! Caitlin has been the sweetest big sister, and the unsolicited love between these two today was absolutely heartwarming.  I even survived a trip to Target and the library with them by myself!


Two words.  Daddy's girl.


Hello there, Messy Face.

December 30

We had a playdate with Logan today.  So much fun!  Caitlin and Logan had so much fun playing together, and Natalie had fun watching all the craziness.  We are so excited that Aunt Becky, Uncle Jordan and Logan are back in Maryland again!!

December 29

I love that we are finally getting to the point where they are starting to sort of play together.


I finally got the chance to take Caitlin to the Ellicott City Fire Dept to see their holiday train display.  This was her reaction when she realized where we were.


This scrunched up nose thing is her new smile... not sure how/when it started, but it cracks me up.

My girls, nice and clean after bath tonight.

December 27

Chowing down on peppers.  She is the pickiest eater when it comes to meats/seafood, but she'll eat almost any vegetable.


Still waiting for that tooth to pop through, but I can see a white spot on her gums.  She was quite the stinker for Grandmom when Ryan and I took Caitlin to the movies today.  Apparently, she wouldn't take her bottle and was just generally unhappy.  Taking her back to daycare should be fun on Thursday.


I couldn't resist posting this one.  She is going to be my good eater, I just know it.  I love that face all covered in green beans.

Such a happy girl even while she's teething and has a silly reindeer on her head.

Merry Christmas!!

December 24

Sweet girls ready for Christmas Eve Mass.

December 23

The girls' school was closed today, so it was a girls day at our house!


This little stinker had a rough day today.  She slept for a total of 1.5 hours from 7am - 2:30pm.  Pretty sure she's getting some teeth.  She also said her first "word" today - DaDa.  Obviously, there was no meaning behind it, but it's still fun to hear her cute little voice.

Natalie, wearing a super cute hand-me-down from Leah.  We celebrated Christmas with Nannie and PopPop today - so much fun!


Caitlin and I went outside to blow bubbles after they left, and it was really humid.  I love how curly her hair gets when it's humid outside!

The weather was awesome today so we took a spontaneous trip to the Baltimore Zoo today.  Love this pic of Caitlin from our ride back on the shuttle.


Natalie liked the zoo too... she especially loved those straps on her stroller.  Everything is in her mouth these days!  I'm looking forward to many more trips to the zoo with them!

December 20

It was Mommy's Night Out tonight, so Caitlin got to watch a show on the iPad.  Lucky girl.


My other sleepy girl.  So sweet.

Another of my sleepy girl.  Different night, same position.

My sweet little Santa this morning.


Sleepy girl.

Caitlin's best Urkel impression.


Little miss was not at all happy with me that I put her down tonight.

December 15

We had a holiday breakfast with friends this morning, and Santa came and surprised the kids!  It was so much fun!

December 14

Another bagel date with my girl after her haircut today.


6 month pictures, only 2 days late.
