Thanks for your patience :)

8 Weeks/2 Months
Hello!
Miss Caitlin turned 8 weeks old yesterday (and will turn 2 months old next Tuesday), and today was her two month check-up with the doctor. She weighed in at just over 12 pounds, and is already over 23 inches long, falling into the 80th and 85th percentiles, respectively. She turned into a big baby! The doctor said she is doing great, and good job mom and dad. :)
Caitlin also got her first round of vaccinations today--four shots and one drink. She took the shots like an absolute champ, but boy did her face get pink while she was working herself up for a good scream. The nurse was super-fast and Caitlin barely got going before the shots were done, and then calmed right down. Everyone warned us about how awful it would be, but Sean and I will be laughing at her pink face for a while and will have to bring the camera next time. :)
Developmentally she is also doing very well; she has been very attuned to her surroundings lately, including recognizing mommy and daddy. :) She is a very happy baby and is all smiles at the window, the ceiling, her hands...everything except the camera, but we keep trying. Speaking of her hands, she has also recently discovered those, and now seems to enjoy gesturing and pointing at things. The other day I found her sleeping with her arms straight up in the air.
Caitlin started daycare yesterday and did a wonderful job. Her teacher said that Caitlin was very alert almost the entire time she was there, but slept through her excursion outside. We are still constantly amazed at how well-behaved she is. :)
As always, the baby pictures are available at the site below. However, since Picasa only allows us to put 1000 photos in each album we removed some of the older pictures to make room for the new ones. Please let us know if there are any you would like that aren't online anymore.

I did finally get a movie of her making some noise. If you are having trouble seeing it, try going to the site below--the movie should work there.

Week 6 and Counting1
Good day!
Little Miss Caitlin is already 6 weeks old and she is getting long. Her 0-3 month outfits are fine, but we are retiring her newborn clothes, especially the ones with feet--her feet are busting the seams. :) She is still sleeping fairly well, waking up 1 or 2 times a night to eat, then going right back to sleep. She takes a few naps during the day, but we are seeing a lot more of her (still) baby-blues.
Miss Caitlin is still doing well with her "tummy time." Recently, rather than frog-legging forward, she has started pushing herself backwards, which looks kind of like "mooncrawling." She will push back on her knees so her tush is in the air, but she hasn't coordinated her front and back end yet, thank goodness.
She has also started conversing, cooing at the trees out the window, or the ceiling fan in our room, and arguing with the ladies on daddy's show on CNBC. Unfortunately, any time mom and dad try to video her noises, she starts fussing instead--apparently she enjoys having her picture taken just as much as we do, or it makes her nervous when we "disappear" behind the camera, or her stomach is TINY. :) Interestingly, she has also started sticking her tongue out a lot, which could either be her first attempts at talking, her tasting the world, or any number of other things. Whatever she's doing, it's perfectly normal, and perfectly adorable, and while we don't have any new video, we've put up some new pictures on the site:

Mom had her last doctor's appointment (for a while) last week and is doing well. Caitlin's 2 month appointment is the second week of May so we won't have any official word on her growth until then, just too-short clothes and sore shoulders from carrying her--and loving every minute of it.
Last but not least, Caitlin is also tolerating her baths a lot better, taking it in with the same interest with which she absorbs all other activities-our little anthropologist. This is especially nice since Great Grandma Chris and Great Grandpa Craig will be stopping by to visit soon! It's a good thing she loves all the attention. :)

1 Month (and a little bit)
Hello!
Miss Caitlin is a month old! She has been working on getting us into her routine, although she tries to mix things up every now and again to keep us on our toes. Grandma Honey went home today, so it's "back to the real world" for mom and dad (especially dad). :) She has also started growing out of her newborn clothes.
Today we stopped by my work after dropping Laurie at the airport, so it was Caitlin's first outing to meet people. She slept through most of it, impressing all of my coworkers with children, and apparently saving all of her energy for when we got home.
We are still trying to make sure Caitln gets plenty of "tummy time" to work on doing her push-ups. Below is a short movie of her working on developing those neck muscles. :)
We have also been updating the pictures online:
