Settling in :)

Well it sure is a bit of a shock to go from dinner at 6, Caels to bed by 7:30 and relaxing watching tv until 10 to dinner when you can grab it and very little relaxing!  Finley has made her entrance and while she is super adorable she has a set of screeching lungs that put Caelin to shame!  For the most part, Finley has been settling in nicely.  Caelin loves to sit and "I hold her hand" and to help bring the diaper stuff to us so we can change her.  Finley loves to sit with Caelin and Caelin looks out for her little sister at all times.  Couple of quotes...

Finley sneezes- Caelin runs to her to say "bless you baby Finley, bless you"!

Finley cries- Caelin yells "baby Finley you're ok, YOU ARE OK"  (wonder where she gets that?!?!?)

Finley grunts like a gremlin- Caelin seeks out a paci and happily plugs her own mouth while saying "baby Finley needs a paci"!

It has been so cute watching Caelin get used to having her around.  Best of all, the little gremlins grunting (some day we will post a video clip- she is so snorting) and screeching hasn't disrupted Caelin's sleep yet (fingers crossed)!

Snoozin' in the swing

Happy 2nd Birthday to our little Bug!

A big month here in the Y-F family.  We certainly are giving new meaning to 'birthday month'!  With our newest little arriving just days before Caelin's big 2nd birthday we did pizza and jello at the hospital the day of but then decided to push the real festivities off until the following weekend.  And then we made sure Caelin knew just how special she is to us.  Caelin kicked off the party at school on Friday bringing in Caelin made cupcakes to share with her friends.  On Saturday, Nana joined us for a birthday lunch...probably not what she was expecting but when asked what she wanted for her birthday lunch Caelin requested a PBJ sandwich.  That of course was followed by cupcakes and ice cream!  To end the weekend, cousin Boo and aunts Kara and Kellie and Grampy and Grammy joined us for a birthday dunch.  The girls enjoyed some quality playtime together and then some cake- a special delivery by Caelin's buddy Alex's dad.  You might think the party ended there...but in true YF fashion we are stretching things out a bit!  Rather than a big party, Caelin is taking a few close friends to the Children's Museum in a few weeks!

Adding the sprinkles!

               

 Happy Birthday Big Sister!

"I'm the BIG Sister"!!

That's right....Caelin is officially a BIG sister!  Finley Maeve was born today at 10:47am.  She weighed in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces and was 20 inches long.  She has light brown hair for now and beautiful big baby blue eyes!  Mum and Finley are both doing well and sister Caelin loved her trips to visit "Baby Finley" at the hospital.  Thank you to those who stopped in to visit and we look forward to Finley getting to meet everyone in the upcoming months!!

"Baby Finley coming home"???

 You should hear her cry...she sounds like a pterodactyl!

 Who wants to hold me?!?!

60 degrees and beautiful today- perfect for celebrating St. Patrick's day!  Caelin had her first sleepover last night at her buddy Emmett's house but was all excited when she woke up to put on her Celtics jersey (#34)!  Our friend Jenny said she ran right up to her husband and said "look Non (Jon), I got Celtics shirt"!  Mommy met her at school to say good morning and to have eat with the breakfast club.  After school we headed home and took a nice walk around the block with Diesel and Nike.  Caelin loves going for walks these days and wants nothing to do with the stroller- most of the time she runs the entire way- which is pretty impressive considering the hill we go up!  After going on a "w" (what Caelin calls a walk with the dogs) we had dinner then a special green cupcake, courtesy of one of the teachers Mommy works with.  Caelin housed her cupcake then we settled down for a few itouch videos before heading to bed.  Crazy to think that as of tomorrow we will have 2 little girls!!!

Red Sox Nation

Spring must be just around the corner....because it was Red Sox day at school this past Monday.  Caelin sported her new Red Sox sweatshirt and socks.  She joined all her buddies at school where all but 1 (Caelin's good friend Reese) were Sox fans.  Reese is a New Yorker- so the teacher played a joke on her mom (who is the day care director) by taking a few pictures.  Anyways...opening day is just around the corner!!!

Go Red Sox!!!

This post is especially for our friends Kylie and Kim in Australia.  When the World Cup Soccer Championship was going on, they Caelin over some SocceRoo's gear.  If Caelin isn't wearing the hoodie, she can be found carrying it around everywhere!  More recently, she decided she liked the hat too and wore it for all waking hours one weekend.  Thank you Kylie and Kim!!!
