Moving Along

My how time flies!  It seems to go even faster now that I’ve headed back to work. The first couple weeks were definitely tough and I know there are more adjustments to come.  Fortunately, Caitlin has Grandma Peterson watching her with cameo appearances by Grandpa Peterson. Grandpa P has become the Chief Bouncer – one of Caitlin’s favorite activities in the late afternoons.

Caitlin was very resistant to take a bottle after we had enjoyed three plus months of nursing, however, Grandma P brings an arsenal of techniques to the table and now seems to have gotten Caitlin over that hump. In fact, you can see that Grandma P has already taught Caitlin how to hold the bottle for herself and pose for pictures!

Caitlin is still rolling around and we are practicing sitting, although that still seems to end in some sort of baby yoga position. Caitlin’s latest favorite toy is her exersaucer, already outfitted with a baby cell phone for calls, an electronic apple that talks at random times, and plenty of different textures for her new tooth! Yes, while we knew it had to be in the works with all the drooling, one of her bottom teeth has finally cut through. More to come on that front, but for now she seems to be handling it just fine.

Two other couples that we spend time with locally have just welcomed new baby girls to their families – one yesterday and one today.  We are so thrilled for both families – welcome Baby Hermann and Baby Hatley!
