Breakthroughs

last week and this week, caylin has learned to entertain herself (when she’s wide awake and not hungry, at least). i don’t know what happened. it felt almost like it was overnight. put her in her bouncer, and bam. she goes to town. put her in the jumper,…

Surprisingly Not Totally Exhausted

at least not yet. brett has been out on travel since monday, so i’ve been on my own with caylin in the evenings. well, 2 nights my mom stayed here but she was pretty much passed out by 8 :) but it’s the middle of the week and i’…

Happy Holidays, Internets

another 3 weeks have gone by and i’ve completely neglected writing about it. ugh. caylin’s accomplishments at 3 months/3 weeks… * we have semi giggles! they sound weird and sometimes turn to coughs, but it’s infectious! * she can roll onto her back! all by herself! she kind…

My New BFF These Days

this is the only reason i’ve been able to shower the past 2 weeks, except for weekends and the few days when my mom came over. the silver lining there is that i’ve vacuumed the house quite a bit lately. the nurses told us that we’d think…
