Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day everyone! We hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! Last week was relatively quiet around the Vargas household. Caitlin has started doing a couple of new things that are kinda cool. The first thing is that she has started wanting to walk up and down the stairs! Obviously we hold her hands but now whenever we start to open the gates, she reaches up to hold our hands and will walk up the stairs! Going down the stairs she sits down and slides from one step to the next, staying in a seated position the entire time. She holds on to us tightly with both hands whenever she goes up or down and almost seems like she's a little nervous about doing either but is eager to try. It's gonna be a couple years before the gates come off and she's doing it by herself but it's so cool to watch her work her way up or down the stairs and hear her happy laugh and see her excitement.

This week she also started smelling things. As you can see in the 1st picture, she wrinkles her nose and even seems to understand the word "stinky". She's started smelling everything she comes in contact with from Shiloh to laundry. She even started squeezing her diaper the other night and making the face above. That let us know that she had a dirty diaper... She also started with another habit that we can hopefully get her out of - picking her nose! She finds it incredibly amusing when we tell her "no" and pull her hand away. She just laughs and puts her finger right back in her nose...

This weekend we had a lot of visitors that Caitlin got to spend time with. Her Grampa Andres, several of her Aunts, Uncles and Cousins all came out this weekend to attend a wedding. It was a nice visit with everyone and a nice long weekend.

This week should be pretty good since it's only a 4 day week! :) Hope everyone has a good one!
