Happy Thanksgiving!

No better holiday than Thanksgiving! We celebrated Turkey Day 3 times this November...1st at Cousin Bailey's, then at Nanny Morra's and we ended the festivities today at the Flynn's. Caelin tried a little turkey and gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. Pretty sure the cranberry sauce was the winner with turkey falling at a close second! As always, we are very thankful that we are able to divide the holidays among both our families and were very happy to see everyone! No doubt we gobbled till we wobbled!

One of the greats- Great Nanny Morra!

Happy Turkey Day!!

8 Months Down!

Really- 8 months old? Time is flying by! Watching Caelin grow has been awesome! We are constantly amazed at the new little things she does. For example- she can easily spot and then nab the tiniest peice of dust on the floor! This past month she has been working on scootching around on her stomach, drinking from the last sip of water from our cups, putting herself to sleep and playing with Diesel and Nike. The last 2 weeks has been a bit slower, as a nasty cold has made it's way through our house. But now that we are recovering, we are ready for the holiday festivities to begin!!!

8 months old!

Graduation Day!

That's right, Caelin is graduating!!! From the Stars class to the Moons class! In her graduation speech, Caelin thanked Mommy and Mum for giving her the opportunity to begin her education at such a fine establishment and thanked her super fantastic teachers Lori-Anne, Christina and Jen for making the transition back to work so easy on her moms. She also reminsinced with her buddies about the good times they had in the Stars room...from stealing eachothers socks, to borrowing eachothers underwear (aka diapers) to in general just having a lot of fun together! THANK-YOU STARS CLASSROOM, we will miss you!!!

The graduate!

Caelin & Connor!

Caelin had a playdate with her buddy Connor this week! For the most part they played very nicely together, until Caelin got a little hair envy and got Connor in a hair pull. We are hoping soon enough Cael's grows some hair of her own so she stops trying to borrow everyone elses! After playing for a while, and eating dinner, the two got in their pj's and played a little more, this time trying to snag the other's binky! We had a great time, thanks Megs and Connor for having us over!
Got it!

Pay back...Here comes Connor!

Mmm...that foot looks yummy!

Connor is on the move!

Caelin + Connor = TrOuBLe!

Off to the races!

Thank-you to the Eckel 's for this super cute outfit! The teachers at daycare couldn't stop talking about how cute Caelin looked last week when she wore her scotty dog dress complete with her hat. One of the teacher said she looked like she should be heading to the races!

Do you like my hat??

Wah-lah!

Welcome Home

Welcome home Grams and Gramps Flynn thank you so much for my t-shirt. We hope you had a great trip to Hawaii and we can't wait to see you in a couple weeks for Thanksgiving. YUM!!!

Bring on the white stuff!

Not trying to rush along winter or anything but Caelin has a new hat and she is ready to go! Quick trip to the Dr.'s the other day for part 2 of the flu shot and our little bug is weighing in at 17.5lbs. She's just a little munchkin compared to her friends at daycare, maybe she's holding out for the good stuff...turkey, mashed potatoes, peas and gravy in the upcoming weeks!

What are these thinsg?

so cute!


too close, a little too close!

Rainy day Saturdays!

Great day for a playdate! Stuck inside on a rainy day, today was a perfect day for Auntie Kell to come for a visit. Caelin showed Kellie her toys and gave her a few high fives! And had Diesel not snuck a few of the crescent rolls Caelin may have convinced Kell to share some with her! Thanks for coming over to play today Auntie Kell!

Happy Saturday!

Love my Auntie Kell!

Fall '09 is coming to an end!

Nothing but fun this Fall! Caelin keeps surprising us with cute new ways to make us smile! Lately, she has found coughing to be extremely funny, she is quite a pro at making herself cough (not b/c she is sick) and then giggling up a storm after it. She is eating all sorts of fun stuff, just about anything we can put into the food processor. Avacado, mango, blueberries, all kinds of squash, green beans, brocolli, aspargras and bananas are some of her favorites! She loves to sit on her mat and play with her toys. The stacking rings, soccer rattle and stacking cups seem to be the biggest hits right now! We read quite a bit too and Caelin loves to open and shut books! We are currently reading 'I Love You Stinky Face', 'The Foot Book' and 'Are you My Mother'. With all the nice weather, we have spent some time outside playing in the leaves, walking to the park and of course watching Mommy and Mum play soccer!

all tuckered out...

Fun in the leaves

Crunchy...I think I like these things!

Dinner on the couch!

Adoption Day!

Today was a big day for the Yanka-Flynns! While we all know that Mum is Caelin's Mum and her birth certificate also states that, we wanted to make sure that we covered all bases for when we are out of Massachusetts. So- Mum officially adopted Caelin today! We met our lawyer at the courthouse and then met with the judge in her chambers. She and the court officer oohed and aahed over Caelin and she sat smiling and giggling at them. The judge happily presented us with the documents to sign and then begged us to go grab breakfast so she could babysit Caelin! And so we are...The Yanka-Flynns- Mum, Mommy, Caelin, Diesel and Nike!

Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday! Auntie Gray, The McD's and the W's all stopped in for a quick visit today. It's always fun when all 3 families can get together since the littles are all so close in age. Caelin, Connor and McKenna played around with some toys while Colby kindly found anything and everything that he shouldn't pick up and turned it over for safe keeping! Colby then joined the littles for a quick pic! It has been so much fun to watch the 3 grow in their first year- they are too cute!

Smile!
