HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY to our baby!!

IT'S CAILIN'S BIRTHDAY!!
Kind of an uneventful evening.  We were going to go out to eat, but Cailin and I both have colds, so instead we stayed home and had leftovers....good news is that Cailin likes leftover meatloaf!  Let's just not tell her that was her 1st Birthday meal!  :)  hee hee!
She is getting used to 'real' milk and loves her sippy cup.  Also, she is working on getting her second bottom tooth!  What a BIG girl!



She got a new pair of shoes!.....


a new toy.....
(link to YouTube - video was too long)

then it was time to play!

More birthday activities to come...

More videos & pictures (for Grandma)!!

Two days to Cailin's birthday!!  Yipppeeee!!
Here are some videos, so you can see what she has been up to!
Birthday present from Grandma Donna....

Just another day....Cailin loves playing/climbing under the chairs.


Bath Time!

Cailin has figured out what the remote control is for!  :)

What a good little helper - helping Mom with laundry.

Well, I am sure more blogging this week!!!  Have a good one.

Mover and a Shaker!!

Well, it seems as if we can't stop it.  Cailin is almost 1 year old and each day she makes sure we know how independent she is!!  Recently......walking, walking everywhere -practically running- she barely crawls anymore.  It is strange to see her upright all the time.   Tonight, I told her we needed to change her diaper, and she headed to her room.  Then there's the "I can feed myself" which totally tests my patience as my child gets food everywhere!

I didn't have to work today, Veteran's Day....so Cailin and I drove to my Mom's for a couple hours.  We also went to my Grandma's where Cailin found the rocking chair!


Sometimes it's hard to go to my Grandma's, as she often just wants to hold Cailin....Cailin wants none of it.  It is pretty impossible to 'cuddle' with her these days!

Back home I snapped some pictures while Cailin was playing and running around!   
I tried to get a picture of Cailin and Murphy - this is about a close as I could get them! 
 This isn't the greatest picture - but you can see her tooth!!  :D



Cailin walking....might want to turn your volume down...!

On a side note....I was talking to a student the other day and asked if she remembered the Gummi Bears Cartoon!?  Of course, she is probably 12 years younger then me, so she had no idea.  When I got home I checked on youtube....for those old enough to remember:

Found in SDSU yearbooks!

Karen is on the bottom, in the middle, with a white shirt.
Karen is in the white jacket.
Joyce is in the second row, on the right.
I found my Aunt Karen in the first two pictures. She's my Dad's sister, who has since passed away.
Also, my Aunt Joyce!! Who was married to my Dad's brother. She is now in Colorado!!
My Uncle Ken went to school here too, but it seems that he didn't show up on picture days!! :). Umm!
