Our Smiling Toddler!

She has been a little more crankier than usual lately due to two top teeth coming in and having minimal sleep - but she is still such a ray of sunshine that radiates our house! (of course, Mikayla and Delilah add lots of sunshine too!) Below are some pics of her joyous personality.

Caitlin has been climbing up on EVERYTHING!  There was a toy or something on the ground that she used and got up on the couch.  Of course, by the time she got up there - she was pooped - so here she is posing as she relaxes!
Got some energy - and now is crawling elsewhere on the couch.
Playing with her cars (thank you Grandma)
Playing with her "first purse" (thank you Neitra!)
Checking outside for Popcorn (wearing the girls' dress from when they were 2 - what a difference a full-term baby makes!!)
It is truly amazing how different she is then the girls.  I am so glad that God blessed us with a full term child as it really has been such a different experience.  Even today, we had gotten a drink at Costco and Caitlin saw us all drinking some.  We didn't think she could drink out of a straw (it took the girls a LONG time to do that) but I put it up to her lips and up went the juice.  Now don't worry, we won't make this a habit as we know how much sugar is in those juices but it is so wonderful to know!!  I will be going to the store this week and getting her the sippy cup/bottles that use straws.  Away with "baby" bottles and hello to straw ones.  Oh - and she still doesn't like watching tv too much - but she does like Mickey Mouse still, definitely knows Dora (as she pointed her out at Walmart the other day) and is starting to like Sesame Street and Barney - but for five minutes and then off she runs to play.
