Hello!
Caitlin is 10 weeks old and going strong! :) As of this Monday she was up to 13 pounds, and gosh only knows how fast she'll grow now. It turns out that she had eczema from a milk protein allergy and needs special food. On the plus side, her bumps are going away and she should be able to have dairy once she's a year old. In the mean time though we just need to be careful.
In other exciting news, Miss Caitlin slept for 9 hours last night! This will be even more exciting when I stop waking up to wonder what's wrong, which I'm told will happen at some point in the next 18 years or so. :) I don't think we can expect this to become consistent behavior just quite yet, but it's still a very exciting milestone.
The little princess has also been doing well with tummy time and can hold up her head for quite a while when there's something interesting to look at. She does seem to be able to flip herself, when she feels like it, but doesn't do so very often. She has been very talkative lately and is learning to talk back. We'll be less excited about this later, but for now we have wonderful conversations. :) Caitlin has also giggled, twice, both times for Daddy. She is smiles almost all the time when she's awake, so hopefully we'll be able to translate that in more giggles that we'll be able to share online.
Below is our attempt at getting a movie of her gift of gab; fingers crossed. :) If you are having trouble seeing it (and don't get a second message that it's broken), try going to the site below--the movie should work there.

And, as always, the baby pictures are available at the site below. Some of the older ones have been "archived," but we can send any along on request. :)
