Snoozin' on the Cape

These past few months Caelin has excelled at many things...spitting up, smiling, eating her fingers etc.....sleep however has never been tops on her list! So we were very happy when she chose to sleep quite a bit while we were on vacation! From taking consistent naps to sleeping the last 3 nights in her OWN bed all night long we were super impressed! She even slept thru the fire works on the 4th! Our little girl is getting the hang of it! Maybe it was something Bailey said to her on Sunday over dinner- but we are hoping that her 6-8 hours nights soon turn into 8-10 hours nights- or at least don't end at 3am!!

Nothing like a good nap at the beach!

Just woke up from a great nap!

Loving her new bed!

Sand, waves and seaweed OH MY!

The weather wasn't spectacular but we made it to the beach anyways! We took our first trip on Saturday and Caelin kicked around in the sand and even tested out the water. The mounds of seaweed were a bit of a turnoff but she didn't seem to mind the water temp's. Then on Tuesday Auntie Kara and Cousin Bailey came down and we all trudged down to the beach. It was a bit cooler but the girls were troopers touching their little feet in the water and sand. Auntie Kell won the award of the day for putting up with all our baby talk! On the last days of the week, the sun finally came out...but too much so for Caelin to hang at the beach, so we split time and each got a few hours to relax (aka sleep) and enjoy some quiet!

Sportin' her new hat!

A bit windy...

Where's Cael's?

First timer!

Cape Cod livin' is for Caels!

For the 4th summer, we rented a house in West Dennis with Kell for a week long vacation. Much like the Griswolds, we packed the car up...Diesel and Nike included and headed to the Cape for our summer vacation. The trip down was smooth sailing and once we got to the cottage, Diesel and Nike made themselves comfortable and began letting the neighborhood families/dogs know they were in town (they like to 'welcome' bark at everyone who walks by)! Caelin also made herself right at home, happily taking a nap in her pack-n-play as soon as we arrived. And thus began our first family vaca....

3 Months old!!

Times really does fly! Caelin is 3 months old now and it seems like everyday she gets a little bigger. This past week was a busy one. Caelin went to GG daycare on Monday- hanging with Great Grammie Yank, Auntie Kara and Jen and the cuz's Bailey and Addy. On Tuesday, Caelin hosted her friends Connor and Makenna while the moms visited with Erin and Kelli. We tried to convince Auntie Erin to stay and become Caelin's nanny but it looks like she and Kelli will be heading back to San Fran =:( And then today Caelin, Addy and Jen and Mum went to Yoga! Not too sure how big Caels is right now but we are guessing she has hit the 13 pound mark and she seems to get longer and longer each day! Her eyes are still blue and the little bit of hair she has looks strawberry blond. Here are a few recent pic's of our favorite little girl!

Hanging with Diesel and Nike!

All tuckered out after yoga!

So sleepy...

Happy Weekend!

Well this past week, we celebrated our 4th year of being married-and wow how times flies! While Caelin has stayed with our #1 choice babysitter a few times now (aka Auntie Kell) we wanted her to join us for a fun night- or should I say afternoon out! So, dressed in one of her summer dresses, we headed out for an early bird dinner. Who says 4pm is too early for dinner! Caelin was incredibly well behaved and beyond adorable, coo-ing and smiling at the waiter and staying nice and quiet at the restaurant. Now- you may wonder why we went out so early...well Caelin has recently (knock on wood) begun to sleep a little more, but her bedtime is early so we didn't want to mess with a good thing by getting her home too late! Onto Saturday...as some of you may know, our anniversary also falls on the same weekend as the Boston Pride Parade. On Saturday we packed up lunches and Caelin took her first trip on the T to head into the parade. After picking out a cool new teeshirt that reads "My mommies rule" we got back on the T and headed to cousin Carolyn's graduation party. What a great day for a party! It was great to see everyone and we wish Carolyn good luck as she heads into the "real world"!!!

Ah, a nice refreshing Budlight!

CONGRATS Carolyn!!

Napping with Nana K!

Patiently waiting for the Parade!
Happy Anniversary Mum and Mommy!

Good news!

A few weeks back, Caelin had her 2 month appt. The dr. had a little concern with her hips and so an ultrasound was scheduled for last Thursday. So we woke up early and headed back to Newton Wellesley. The ultrasound was read by the pediatric specialist there who said he saw some shallowness in her left hip, i.e slight hip dysplasia. So, then today we spent the morning at Children's Hospital in Boston. We had an early morning appt. with the orthopedic specialist who then sent us for another ultrasound. The pediatric radiologist read the ultrasound adn said it looked clear. After that we went back to the ortho. and she too looked at the pictures and said everything looked perfect. It was very clear that there was no shallowness and she was confident that Caelin's hips look great. We were happy to hear that news of course!

Ready to start kickin' the soccer abll around!

Back to work =:(

All good things must come to an end and today was that day for Mom! First day back to work today. Wasn't all bad- it was an office day and Mum and Caels stopped in for a quick lunchtime visit! Mum got her first day of Itsy Bitsy Yoga in and Caelin stepped up and helped her through the day. We are very lucky in the timing of little Caelin, as I took 3 months of maternity and now Mum is off for the summer- pushing daycare back a little! We certainly wish one of could stay home with her however last time we checked the tree out back there were only flowers on it!! Here are a few pic's of the little lady from the past few weeks!

Lovin' my crib!

It's ok Caelin, soon enough you'll be able to sit up in the bumbo!

A little tummy time after tubby time...

Little Yogi's!

Caelin met up with cousin Adalyn this week to go to Yoga class together! Who knew babies could do yoga!! With a little help from Jen and I the girls did all sorts of little yoga poses and stretches and had a blast! After class the girls hit up Panara for a little lunch, it was great to hang out!
