8 weeks down!

So Caelin hit the big 2 month mark. She has started to giggle and smile at us and her two favorite toys (Ollie the Octopus and her Gloworm both hanging off her swing), makes a few happy noises, and has become a drooling/bubbling champ! Still working on that head control- while she enjoys tummy time she would much prefer to turn her head to the side and take a nap or suck her thumb than to lift up her head! But she has started to try out the bumbo seat and she did pretty well! We went today for her 2 month appointment and she was a champ! She has gained a few pounds since last month and is up to 23inches long! She started the big round of shots and she was very brave!

I think I can, I think I can...

Just like Michael Jordan...tongue out for balance!

Caelin loves her swing and the Octopus toy!

Sleeping whenever and wherever!

Welcome Kiera Jayde!

Caelin has a new cousin! Kiera Jayde was born on May 27th, at 7 lbs., 4 ounces and just under 20 inches long. Kiera and Mom Erin are back home now and doing well! Hoping to get back up to NH soon so Caelin can meet her new cousin!


Too cute!

I'm thinking this might not fit 'til next summer!

1st Trip to NH!

A few brithdays to celebrate today, Grandpa Flynn and Aunt Patty- Happy Birthday to you both! For the first time, Caelin went to NH to visit the Flynns and got to meet Aunt Alvine. Uncle JP and Aiden, Aunt Erin and Dave and got to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Flynn and Uncle Conan. We had one of mom's favorite meals- homemade chicken nuggets and aspergras risotto and then of course cake and ice cream to top it off! It was a beautiful day and we had a great time!
Chillin on the porch with Grandma!

A day at the farm- Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Happy Birthday GG!

We love to celebrates birthdays and so today was no exception! Great Grammie Yank turned 84 today and so the Yank family headed to Plymoth for a bbq. Caelin, Bailey and Addie did their part as the cutest little babies ever and everyone took turns playing games, making funny faces and singing songs to get them to smile. It was great to see everyone and we hope GG had a wonderful birthday!

The BIG 8-4!

Addie looks like she might be up to something!

I love my Auntie Kell =:)
It's hot...I need a drink!

Big Night Out!

As much as we love our new little Caelin, we decided it was time to get out for a bit minus the baby talk....Auntie Kell offfered to babysit and so we went to the Red Sox game. We were a little nervous, as the 5-7 o'clock hours are definitely Caelin's loudest hours but Caelin must have known that Auntie Kell has a zero tolerance policy for crying so she kept the tears to a minimum! So, while we enjoyed dinner at Beerworks and the Sox beating Toronto, Caels hung out with Kellie- eating girl scout cookies according to Kell! Thanks for hanging out with me Kell!!



Go Sox!

I'm going to Auntie Kell's...YEAH!!!

Hanging with my friends!

Not only are we super excited that Caelin will be growing up alongside her cousins Bailey and Adalyn, but several of our good friends have recently had children too. All of which means lots playdates! These past few weeks have met up with the cuz's for lunch, Auntie Gray, Connor and Makenna to play, and have gone to visit our newest little friend Arden at the hospital. We also went to visit GG Yank and she made us a wonderful spaghetti lunch! GG had Caelin giggling and smiling the entire visit!

I remember a time when I was the sleepyhead!

Come on friends...WAKE UP!

Movin' Out

Caelin made the big move from the bassinet to her big crib this weekend! We were hoping the big move would come along with a big increase in sleep but no such luck! She is pretty consistent with 4 hours at a time- every once in a while surprising us with an extra hour! We still super swaddle her as she seems to really like being all wrapped up burrito style!

Random pic's!

Just a few random pic's of Caelin from the past week or so...isn't she just so cute!!!

Look my cheeks are filling out!

This is way more comfty than my crib!

Starting to smile...

Caelin loves to sleep in the swing

Happy Mother's Day!

What a wonderful day it was!! We spent the majority of the day walking around the Arboretum for Lilac Sunday in JP. The weather was perfect and it was great to just spend the day outside, relaxing as a family!















Don't we look so cute in our stripe dresses!!













Great day for a nap outside!

Caelin's 1st 5k!

For the past 9 years I have worked at NECC teaching kids with Autism. For the past 3, NECC has held a 5K race/walk to support the research that many teachers are involved in to find the best teaching practices to help these students be more independent in their lives. There is no cure for Autism, however Applied Behavior Analysis is one of the only scientifically research based methods that has shown to have positive effects on both the receptive and expressive learning of these students. Along with several teachers, parents and students we have walked with Team Sharon for the past 3 years. This year was no different, except Caelin was here to join us on the walk!

6 weeks and counting!

Caelin has hit the 6 week mark- we can't believe it!!! When they say time goes by quickly they aren't kidding! The past week or so has been pretty busy...dinner out with Grandma & Grandpa Flynn, watching mum play in her alumni soccer game, taking our first Yoga class and lots and lots of walking! At this point we have toured the town by stroller! Here are some of Caelin's latest pic's!




Going to visit mom's classroom- Yeah!














Whats with this weather?



















Dinner with Grandma Flynn!













Off to Itsy Bitsy Yoga class!

So sleepy...
