This year seems to be flying by. Caitlyn keeps progressing. There will be a time when she slows down right?
We are preparing for our first big car trip with Caitlyn. So far she has been fine going to and from St Louis but that's only about 2 hours in the car. She was alright this last weekend, though we did have to make a stop to start getting her fed. Kacey stayed in the back seat with her and she seemed to do ok. Thankfully she can keep herself occupied some of the time. She likes playing with the toys on the car seat. It will also help that she can hold her own bottle. Now if we can only start getting her to tell us what she wants.
The Thanksgiving trip will be 6 hours to Tulsa, 3 to Madill, then the full 9 back that Saturday, if we can do it. If not, we may stop in Tulsa again. I'm crossing my fingers.
This past weekend, Kacey went to have a girls' night with her sister and sister-in-law. I went to play paintball Saturday morning, then went to a nice steak place with "the guys" for my buddy's bachelor party. Unfortunately, I came down with the same cold that Kacey and Caitlyn had, therefore Saturday night was no fun. Nor Sunday night. I'm staying home with Caitlyn today, though, and she's sleeping like a log.
Here's Caitlyn and Trevor on Halloween:
She like sleeping on the couch:
And playing with the dog:
And playing with her mom:
She's been working on sitting up on the floor so she can play at daycare:
The sitter called Kacey today with some good news. She said that Caitlyn was getting up on her hands and knees and lunging forward. She'll probably be crawling any day now.
