You are my SUNSHINE!

She can go from stoic to absolute JOY with just a few notes of singing....how great is that smile!

This is now my favorite "trick" - although I still love the cooing too....

Some fun videos

Caelan's First "Words"....during our 4 mo. check-up, Dr. M asked us what our favorite Caelan "trick" is right now...and at the time, it was definitely these little coos.....

......now it is blowing raspberries.....

video to come shortly.

Its been a long time....

I have fallen out of "practice" on the blog, and for that I apologize. Below are some pictures from March 2011. Caelan is now 4 months old - so hard to believe how fast the time goes! Below is a picture of two days of milk that has been bagged and is ready for the freezer - getting back to work means getting the "pumping at work" routine figured out. Making this work is a huge sense of pride for me. Sean is a great partner for me too in making sure it works. We talk all day long about how much she's eaten and how much I'm pumping - and luckily, I'm still pumping a little bit more than she's eating. I usually pump 3 times during my work day and come home with 14-16oz of milk.

Below are just some pictures of Caelan. I was trying to capture her sitting up, but she's still trying to figure out how to do that exactly. These pictures were taken around her 4mo. birthday.

She's almost growing out of this outfit, so I wanted to take some pictures of it before it no longer fits her.

I'll load a couple of videos tomorrow.....having a hard time getting them to load.

Caelan is Here!

Movie of our first few moments/days is below:

Snow Storm - November 22nd 2010

Yesterday was my official first day on Maternity Leave - and it was super cool to get snow and to be "stuck" at home. I heard from a co-worker that it took him 4 hours to get from work to the Issaquah Highlands on Monday night - needless to say I was thankful to be home and thankful that baby girl ward is staying "put".

The snows started Sunday, November 22nd. Sean basically had to use all the snow that was on the grass at the time to make this snowman. BUT, it snowed heavily all afternoon and we ended up with a whole lot more snow.....which is good because this snowman ended up falling over and has yet to be rebuilt.

This is what our alley looked like about 3 hours later.....this is Sean and Brennan heading to the local park for some sledding.

LOVE the fact that he now thinks it is FUN to hawl his sled back up the hill.

The snow on our bushes.

Battle of the Bellys - 39 Weeks.

At dinner tonight, Brennan said "Look at this big "bump" in my tummy" - so Sean challenged him to compare his belly with mine. I have a real goofy look on my face because that's how he had just looked at me! Needless to say I think I "won" the challenge. 39 weeks tomorrow....
