I'm a STAR!

Today was Caelin's 1st day of Daycare! She is in the STARS room with her buddy Emmett. Daycare is onsite at my school so on days when I am in the office, I will be able to stop in and say hi to our little bug! Overall, the day went ok. Caelin barely napped, but she had a ton of fun playing with all the new toys and her buddy Emmett. The teachers adore her and were so excited for her to start today (they have been begging me all summer how soon she could start!). Can't say we were as excited but we got through the day =:(

I'm ready!!

Thanks D and Nike for helping me get ready this morning!

Jump around!

Last time we visited cousin Bailey, Caelin tested out Bail's jumperoo. She seemed to enjoy it so we hooked one up in between the kitchen and the living room. First time out was a success! Not too much bouncing up and down but a lot of twirling around and checking out the house from a new angle!

I might be getting dizzy...

Jump!

Pool time!

Last summer, we decided to buy a kiddie pool for Diesel and Nike to cool off in. Of course, neither of them would go near it. As much as they both love to jump in lakes, ponds and the ocean- the closest they came to the pool was drinking out of it. Today we cleaned out the pool and filled it up for Caelin. And guess who else decided to join in...Diesel of course. Not sure who enjoyed it more! Took Caelin a bit to get used to the idea, but once she was in for a few minutes, she settled right and had a great time reading her Freddy the Fish book and splashing around!

Post pool party tummy time!

Catching Diesel's wave as she jumps in and out of the pool!

Coolling off with Diesel!

5 Months old!

WOW- 5 months has really gone by already? We have enjoyed every minute since Caelin was born and really can't believe that summer is ending and that she is only a few days away from heading to daycare. This coming Thursday, Caelin will do a test run at daycare at Mommy's school then start up officially the following Monday. We have already gone for a few visits, but this will be the first full day. Caels will be the oldest kiddo in the class, with the others ranging from 3-5 months. Her buddy Emmett started about a month ago so he knows the ropes already and will be keeping an eye out for her! Pretty sure she will love daycare...it's like an amusement park with all the swings, bouncy seats, bumbos and toys!

Dinner with Nanny & Patti, hanging with her buddy Connor, ice cream with Alex and so much more! Caelin has been very busy this summer. It flew by and it's already about time to start up in daycare, so we have been busy trying to enjoy every minute of free time we have had!

Hanging with my Uncle Conan!

I just love hanging with my uncle Conan!! This summer we spent some QT together...we mini-golfed, bbq'd, watched a little soccer on tv, played with all my toys and ate a ton of ice cream! He even babysat me a few times when my moms went to soccer! He tried to teach me how to play video games but I think I will stick to playing with rings and soccer rattle!! Thanks for being such a great bro-pair and uncle, Conan!

Aiplane with my Conan!

It's so HOT in this house!

This is a putter....now watch your Mommy show you how to do it right!

Sleep tight sleepy head!

As you all know- Caelin is not all about sleeping! She has surprised us here and there but for the most part sleeping through the night is a rare occurrence. Last week however, Caelin slept 5 nights in a row from 8-6:30. No worries- that has since returned to her waking up 2-3 times a night! We love the bug nonetheless and actually can't seem to get enough pictures of her little sleepyhead- as she just looks so calm and content when shes snoozin'! Here are a few of her napping in the guest room in he rnew position on her side.

Lazy Summer Days...

Caelin and Mum have been enjoying the lazy summer days- going for walks, trips to the library, Yoga and just relaxing at home! This past week has been espechially hot and muggy so Caelin has been spending a lot of time just chillin' in her diaper! As of late, she has rediscovered her toys...she sure is a chatty little girl, talking to those toys like they are the best of friends! She still has her favorites in Olly the Octopus and Tommy the Turtle but has also started to enjoy more simple toys like the rings and keys. Here are a few pics from this summer...enjoy!

Grumpy would be proud...Caels works so hard at the office!

The Nuby and the rings have been a big hit lately!


Oh so cute!
