Doors are fascinating.
Activity Cube
Happily using her activity cube to pull herself up – until it shifted on her.

Play date!
Caitlin and I were able to meet up with our friends Lily and Sara for a play date on Sunday – thank goodness the weather cleared up! We met at the Crowd Favorite offices in LoDo and let the girls go at it. They were the most aware of each other since they met in our mom’s group and had some good staring matches. Lily showed off her professional rolling skills while Caitlin demonstrated the fine technique of chewing on socks and sitting. Both the girls are talking a lot more, mostly to the world in general. The moms enjoyed some quality time to catch up and swap stories and tips – there really is so much to talk about with these little people. I will have to practice my action photography skills as I think I ended up with more blurry shots then reasonably focused ones…I’ll keep at it!

6 months old!
Caitlin celebrated her 6 month birthday on Sunday – we can’t believe it’s been 6 months already! She is doing great on all fronts – and we are especially grateful she is sleeping well. She got her next round of shots from the pediatrician on Monday – her cries are still upsetting to me. She’s now 18.5 lbs and 27 inches. You can see her hair is growing out – a nice healthy fuzz right now – as are her teeth (2 on the bottom).
She has been eating rice cereal and we’ve moved on to oatmeal. Next up are veggies and fruits. Grandma and Grandpa P have been getting their taste of frenetic Colorado weather…80 degrees one day, snowing the next…just a reminder to always wear layers! In between they’ve been taking the girls (Caitlin and her pooch, Noonan) on some great walks and enjoying the fall colors.
Caitlin was so excited about the arrival of her new cousin on October 9th – welcome Levi!

Sitting and Eating
My new things are sitting up by myself (though sometimes the room tilts on me) and getting pretty solid with the eating thing. Check me out.
The big people have also taken to piling all sorts of stuff on me when we go outside, good thing I can make this look work.

- Much bundled
-
- Gimme that spoon
-
- Yummy
First Solid Food
The big people got a new contraption to put me in. They’ve sat me in it a few times before, and today they strapped me in and gave me some lumpy milk with one of those spoon things I see them using.
Not sure about all this…
-
- Waterproof bib, check. High chair, check. Let's go!
-
- Eating from a spoon for the first time.
-
- Better work on those airplane noises, dad!

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!

Who’s Your (Gran)Daddy?
Ever since Caitlin was born we have been wondering whether Caitlin looks more like one of us and if so, then which one, or if she has broken the mold and started her own look. We now have an answer! Courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa Peterson, they found this picture of Grandpa Peterson when he was about the same age that bears a striking resemblance to some of Caitlin’s recent pictures.
