Getting Into a Routine

Daddy has been home for almost two weeks now, and we are finally adjusting to it all. Caitlyn loves all the extra attention and is talking so much more now. Against Daddy's better wishes, one of her favorite sayings is "Yee Haw." So, a little bit of my love of country is rubbing off, but that isn't too bad in my book. We have also figured out that Mommy is her lovie. She never has warmed up to a certain blanket or stuffed animal, and that is because she has me. If Daddy gets too close, she'll come running up and steal me away. She will make sure I wrap my arms around her or she will start kissing me, watching Daddy the entire time. Caitlyn is such a cutie, I swear.

We also had Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Jason and Aunt Michelle come visit us this past weekend. Talk about loving all the extra attention. I don't think I had to do a single thing for my child for three days. It was as if I didn't exist. She got to go swimming and see the ocean from the balcony of their hotel. She even got to sleep over with Grandma and Grandpa and loved it. Didn't even miss Mommy or Daddy. She got her spoiled rotten way and loved every minute of it. It completely warmed my heart to see her go right up to everyone. Especially Grandpa. She was afraid of him last time, but not any more. She would call out to him and if given the oppurtunity, he is the first one she wants to call on the phone. Being the smartie she is, she knows who to suck up to already. Little evil one. LOL. As part of her gift they sent, besides a princess bike, Uncle Jason bought her her own camera. It is great to see pictures from her point of view. I will post some shortly.

Next we had New Years. And at the old age of 2, Caitlyn stayed up and watched the ball drop. She danced the entire night. At first she was pouting, just to find out she wanted to dress up like Mommy. After I dressed her up, she was dancing like crazy. Shaking her butt and singing along. We thought she would never run out of energy. She would run up to people and tell them to dance. "Dance, Dance!!" she would yell as she would grab their hand to pull them up. A little party animal. I see lots of trouble in the future, but for now, it's cute. :)

We have lots planned for the rest of the time Daddy is home. Trying to enjoy every moment. I'll post some pictures shortly. Love to everyone!!
