Happy Birthday GG!

Enjoyed a great day with the Yank's, celebrating Great Grammie Yank's 84th birthday!  Caelin was a little reserved, staying within 10ft of us, but once everyone left, she was happy to run around and play on the piano.  Didn't get too many pic's, but it was great to see everyone!!

Parties and Pigtails!

May is a busy month! Birthday parties, 1st Communion parties and more birthday parties have kept us on the go most weekends. Unlike her cuz, Caelin is not the life of the party. She prefers to sit close to her moms and ease on into the party. That being said, by the time she acclimates, the party is just about over! So....Happy Birthday to Candia, Grampa Flynn, GG Yank, Reese, Arden and Aunt Patty! And congrats to Mikey on receiving his 1st Communion!

Playing with Mikey- thanks for the Little People toys!

Yuck...I do not like this stuff on my feet!

Caelin, Kiera, the dog bowls and blocks = lots of fun!

Hangin' with her d-o-g-s!

Pigtails?  almost!

Happy Mother's Day!

So happy to walk and say 'woof' to all the dogs she saw!

Pluck, pluck, pluck...

Cute as a bug!

Stopping to smell the flowers...

Thank you Caelin for a great day!

Hope all of the mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers had a wonderful day!  After a quick breakfast with Nana, we headed into the Arnold Arboretum for our Mother's Day tradition of enjoying Lilac Sunday!  It was a little windy at times, but when there was no wind, it was such a beautiful day.  We took a nice walk through, sat and enjoyed the lilacs then headed out to lunch with some good friends.  Ended the day with a cold stone ice cream....life is good!

Here and there!

The month of May seems to be cruisin' by! Caelin's personality seems to be transforming and boy is it funny to see her act just like Mommy at times! So- whats she up to.....Seems like scooting is old news. She is pretty much walking everywhere. She is so proud of herself when she stands up from sitting and her walking is more like a short sprint. She has also taken to climbing the stairs. If you blink she will run over and be 5 stairs ahead of you. Don't worry- we are purchasing an additional gate! Not much new in the eating department. She is not a huge fan of vegi's so we have been trying to get creative mixing them into favorites like mac n cheese or giving her the squeezable packs. for whatever reason she will squeeze vegi's into her mouth but won't eat them off a spoon! New this past week or so, has been that she can distinguish between 'Mum" and "Mama". That has been pretty awesome! She continues to say 'all done', 'more', 'bubu' and 'muah' when blowing kisses. She is also willing to try to say most words so we keep practicing relatives names and favorite toys. Oh and sorry about that last post (Be)...I was playing around with an ipad at the Apple store and didn't realize I posted it!

Rainy day playdate with Bails

So sweet!

Checking to see who's watching...she was totally plotting a run for the stairs!

     After much debate, we agreed to let her get extensions!

Loves to run around after her bath!
