Update!

Well, I know I have been absolutely terrible at updating the blog since Caitlyn was born. Things are as busy as ever with our little family and I must confess that I had to choose between luxuries (i.e. blogging). I have found that in my free time I would rather read a book than watch TV, look at facebook, and blog (not that I have much free time). I am still working on finding a job and I can only imagine how much worse a blogger that will make me! Enough about me though! I know our 3 readers don't come to read about me anymore, you want to know about our precious baby girl.

She is growing up so fast! I can't believe she will be 2 months old in a couple of days. It feels like it was just yesterday that we were waiting so (im)patiently for her arrival. We went to see Dr. Morris on Tuesday. He is Caitlyn's GI doctor. She has been having some reflux issues and we are trying to work through them. They weighed her in the office and at 8 weeks old is weighing in at 12 lbs. 9 oz. She loves to eat and she eats a ton! We are still exclusively feeding her breastmilk, but she does get at least one bottle everyday so we can give her one of her medicines.

At 8 weeks old here are some things she can do/enjoys:

*She loves tummy time!

*She likes swinging in her swing too (this only lasts 15 to 20 minutes at a time though).

*She smiles at Mommy and Daddy often and it just melts our hearts. However, get the camera out and she will NOT smile, just frown at you like "What do you think you're going to do with that??"

*She loves talking to us! She coos and giggles a little and we talk to her. I would love to know what she is thinking!

*She loves to stare at Uncle Jamie. We don't know why she is so entranced by him, but lucky Jamie!

*She falls asleep in the car seat every time! It sometimes takes a few minutes, but it never fails!

*She sleeps 5 to 6 1/2 hours at night!! (It's wonderful!!) But she won't nap longer than 30 minutes in the daytime...Mommy can't get anything done! (Tips are appreciated!!)

*She seems to enjoy our walks, but mostly sleeps during them.

*She loves mobiles, ceiling fans and pretty much anything that she can look up at.

*She is getting really good at holding her head up. She can do it for longer amounts of time now. She does it on her tummy and when you are holding her upright. I think she desperately wants to be able to do it all the time so she can look around more, but it still tires her out if she does it too long.

*She loves "standing" or pushing up with her feet.

*She loves bath time now. We were worried for a while because she cried every time we would bathe her (before, during and after). But now she seems to enjoy every bit of it; she smiles and coos the whole time. We all do bath time together. Daddy gets the water ready while Mommy gets her bedtime clothes out. Then Daddy bathes her while Mommy washes her hair!

*There are probably a ton more things I haven't said, but I can't think of anymore at the moment.

We go back to Dr. McCown next Tuesday for her 2 month checkup! Maybe I will find a moment to update again to tell you about it!

Alright, I am going to try and post pictures now!! Enjoy!
