A Little Lady

somehow over the course of a month, caylin has turned into one. like… leaps and bounds of progress in every area. at 5 months and 1 week she is * sitting up unassisted and playing with her toys - able to pull herself into a sitting position by holding onto my…

A Year Ago

holy crap, it’s been a year already. i feel like just yesterday i was freaking out about not only being pregnant, but how we were going to plan a wedding in less than a month! i still have the wedding planning spreadsheet in my google docs. and then i…

Things To Remember

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…
