Hello everyone! I can't believe it's already Christmas week! This week went pretty well. Caitlin continues maturing. She's started eating with a fork pretty regularly and found a new favorite food - peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! :) I made one the other night and she pretty much ate the whole thing on her own! :) She also tried and seemed to really enjoy egg nog (my personal holiday favorite) and Coke Zero. She really likes drinking out of regular cups or water bottles and any time she sees us get one she comes running over holding her hands out! She's also been very talkative and seems like she really wants to say something but the only words that come out are babbling noises. :) She's currently got 3 words in her vocabulary - "hi", "up" and recently "bye". She understands so much now and will pretty much do what we ask. When we ask for a kiss now she'll suck half of her bottom lip in to pucker and will give us a kiss. It's amazing to me how much she understands now. I'm looking forward to when she can talk to us. :) She's also extremely affectionate and likes to be carried pretty much all of the time which can get tiring after a few hours! :) This morning she woke up at 5:30 and I sat on the couch with her watching cartoons. It was nice to just sit with her spending quality time together. :)
This week Caitlin also had another encounter with Santa and as you can tell from the pics, it went about the same as it did last weekend! Actually I think it went worse this time! Caitlin wanted nothing to do with him and started kicking and squirming trying to get away as soon as we put her on his lap! If nothing else, her pics with Santa will be entertaining every year! :)
This weekend Caitlin also got an early Christmas visit from her Grampa Joseph and Grandma Magda. She enjoyed spending time with them and really enjoyed playing with them with her new toys they brought her - a teddy bear and a toy cell phone. She's been running around hugging the bear and will pick up the phone and start dialing and then hold the phone to her ear and say hi!
This week should go pretty fast. We're only working 3 days this week and then we're celebrating Christmas with family. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
