18 Months

I can hardly believe that my little Miss Caitlyn Leigh is already 1 and a half years old. She is growing so incredibly fast... and when I say fast... I mean it. We had her feet sized during Christmas time and she was a size 4 and we went again last week and she is now a size 6. Her 12-month onsies all of a sudden all became real tight against her shoulders and became dificult to snap. The 18 month pants still are a little big in the waist and the 12 month pants are still way too short... she's growing like a little weed. She now has 6 teeth (remember when I was worried that I'd have to get her fitted for baby dentures) and lots of little blonde curls! She absolutely adores her baby dolls and her teddy bear. She can't sleep without her sage green blanket and loves to take turns giving her mom and dad tons of kisses and big squeezes for hugs. She can't go a day without watching her nursery rhyme shows on on demand and watching everyone she loves pass by on our digital picture frame. She enjoys brushing her teeth in the tub and when asked if she knows where mommy's baby is... she lifts up my shirt and blows raspberries on my belly. She can point to every single body part (including her tush, where she kind of smacks her bum and smiles). Her newest and most favorite thing to sign is 'bird' and she loves making the noise for doggy and cat (the way she says 'meow' in her little baby voice is to die for). She had her 18 month check-up last week and the doc says that she is growing very well... high on the charts for length and low on the charts for her weight and right in the middle for her head circumference.
I speak for both Ashley and I when I say that she is the light of our lives and each month we grow with her gets better and better. She is a wonderful daughter will be an amazing older sister. Thanks little Caitlyn for adding so much to our lives!

Gosh, I can't believe it's been so long sine I've seen you/her! I hope the clothes I sent for her fit. Talk to you soon, I hope.

Man that Caitlyn is looking more and more like her Dziadzia! Can't wait till she spends the night with me at my house and we can hang out together.

It feels like just yesterday I was waking up to Ksavera's phone call about Cait's arrival to our world...my how time flies. She is as darling as ever, especially with all those teeth!

Love you all!
