2nd Birthday Celebrations

A little late I know! September and the first part of October have been crazy busy! Starting with Caitlyn's birthday. Then a trip to MN for my cousin Lisa's wedding and a trip to Atlanta for my cousin Kimmie's birthday...more on those in another post. Plus Dr. appts for everyone in our household and work and excursions.


We had Caitlyn's birthday party the Saturday before her birthday (Sept 11th). We decided to only invite immediate family and a few of our close friends this year. Last year for her first birthday I think we over did it a little bit and Jared and I didn't really get to enjoy it. This year we were looking for a more laid back party and we got exactly what we wanted! I put together a photo montage of Caitlyn's 2nd year. We watched this. Ate cake and ice cream and opened presents. Caitlyn is so loved...she is such a lucky little girl!




Then on Sunday we went to the zoo. Last year Aunt Beth and I took Caitlyn on her actual birthday. This year because of my time off for the surgery in July and the time off for our 2 trips I couldn't take her actual birthday off. So we went the Sunday before. And this time Daddy, Uncle Josh and Harrison got to join us! This is definitely an annual tradition I want to keep going! It is so much fun with her knowing the animals and being able to point them out and tell us what they are! I tried to take her on the carousel but she wouldn't sit on any of the animals. So we had to sit on the bench. Hopefully next year will be better!
On her actual birthday I had to work and that night we left for MN. I did get cupcakes for her to take to school. And she got to wear her birthday girl shirt.

Overall I think she had a great birthday week! We can't celebrate just one day for birthday's in our house. It's at least a week long celebration!

Celebrating 32!

Today I turn 32.  Just another number!  I actually like to celebrate my birthday all week.  I think I need more than just one day! But today I took the day off work.  Aunt Beth and I took Caitlyn to the zoo.  I had sushi rolls from HyVee for lunch.  I got sunburned while at the zoo.  We came home and Caitlyn took a nap.  I would have too...but I'm a horrible nap taker.  I filled Caitlyn's pool so that she could go swimming in her little yellow polka dot bikini!  Then Jared took me to dinner at Red Lobster.  Yum! 



I am so thankful for another year.  My life is good.  I have great family and friends.  I have a wonderful husband who loves me for me (even when I'm driving him crazy).  I have my beautiful, loving, sweet, tantrum throwing, hug and kiss giving baby (toddler) girl.  And we're embarking on another journey to try and grow our family.  What more could a girl ask for?

From Baby to Toddler

9/14/2008 Caitlyn weighed 8lbs 11oz and was 19 1/2 in long.


9/14/2009 Caitlyn weighed 22lbs 2oz and was 22 in long.


Caitlyn has accomplished so much during her first year. She's now walking on her own. She talks on her toy cell phone. She feeds her baby doll a bottle. She says dada, bye-bye, baba and Zeus (we're still waiting on mama). She dances when music is playing. She laughs and her whole face lights up when she's excited. She loves the dog. She gives great kisses and hugs! We can read her moods, when she's tired, hungry, happy, sad or frustrated. She puts herself to sleep for her naps and bedtime. She lets me wipe her nose with no fuss when it's running. She loves pushing her shopping cart around and has learned to carry her purse like a big girl (this makes mama proud)! She knows the meaning of the word no and she's already starting to push the limits to see how far she can go. There are so many things that she does every day that just amaze me. I look forward to each and every day to see what new things she's going to discover!

Happy Birthday Punky!

One year ago today a beautiful miracle entered our lives. One we thought may never happen.

Caitlyn mommy and daddy love you so much. You are truly a blessing that entered our lives. You keep us on our toes with your funny (and sometimes not so funny) antics. You make our hearts grow with each of your kisses and hugs. You make our miserable days disappear with those beautiful smiles that just light up your eyes! Your laugh is musical to listen to. You have taught us so much in this past year and we look forward to watching you grow and learn during this next year. Happy Birthday to our sweet baby girl!

Love,
Mommy & Daddy
