Where to even begin????

I have so much to catch everyone up on.

Let's start with Miss Caitlin Elizabeth:

Yesterday, she laughed!!!!!!!  It was a wonderful moment.  She's 4 1/2 months old..and I knew it would come soon because she's at the stage now where she gives the biggest smile when she sees me!  I was playing playing with her and rubbing her pacifier on her chin, and everytime I did, she giggled.  It was such a great moment!!!

Caitlin has the cutest baby cheeks!!!  We were expecting her to weigh a lot, but at 4 months old, she only weighed 10lbs 13 oz.  So she gained about 2 lbs in 2 months.  She was also 24 inches long and her head circumference was 15 inches.  Basically, she's in the 0-5% for weight and head measurement, and in the 40% for height.  She's not going to be as tall as Abigail, but definitely a good, average height!

We tried rice cereal, but it was too early!!!!!!  We'll try again next month!

Abigail LOVES to play with Caitlin.  Often, she will try to change her diaper if I'm not watching (we are working on that)...but it's so cute to watch them together!!!!!  I can't wait till Caitlin can play back, but Caitlin always has the biggest smile when she's watching her big sister!!!!

This weekend, we took the girls to Monkey Joes to get out some energy!  Caitlin still LOVES her sling...I am so excited to get out the Jeep Carrier (the one that you carry her on the front) when her head is strong enough!  Until then, I'll take advantage of my cuddles!!!!

Abigail continues to be fearless in the jump houses.  There were BIG kids everywhere, and she just kept up with them!!!!

On Saturday night, my parents came over for Sushi!!!!  While I didn't take any pictures of the group (I'm getting worse instead of better with pictures) I did take a picture of the damage Abigail did to the Edamame (all those are empty below).  She at the ENTIRE order before anyone got 1.  That girl loves her veggies!!!!

We ended our weekend with a mean game of Hi-Ho-Cherry-O!  We LOVE family game night!!!

Last week, Abigail wore braids for the first time!!!!!  She looked so old!

This picture actually has 2 firsts.  Abigail's 1st braids and Caitlin's 1st time wearing jeans!!!!

And to end the post...a few pictures from St. Patrick's Day!  I love catching the candid shots when the girls are watching each other!

I still need to post some adorable pictures I got from our trip to the Dupage Museum with Miss Jodie and Addison last week!  And our trip to the park (time for the annual swing comparision pictures).  This post is full so that will be another week.  Also, Abigail is starting ballet again in a few weeks, and I did it!  I got her a ballet outfit and ballet slippers.  Since she's older, I thought it would be okay (if you remember when she was like 1 years old and the only baby in the class without a ballet outfit...now she'll be in the same class, but she'll be the oldest one so I thought she was ready). 

Have a great week...Check back soon for more pics!
