Waiting for Christmas

Some more shots of Caitlyn, with special thanks going out to Michael, who lent me his awesome Nikon D3 for the day.

Caitlyn Dec. '07

Hanging around on Sundays

Last Sunday, Pa came to visit his great-granddaughter again.

Sunday at Home

Trimming the Tree

After Caitlyn's inaugural visit to Jones' tree farm (sorry forgot the camera), Caitlyn helped us trim the tree.

Thanksgiving with Caitlyn

Caitlyn got her gobble gobble on at Lake Ave. She was all decked out for the holiday.

So I have to apologize to my sister, who's been asking for these photos every day for a week :) Two weekends ago Lissa and John came up from D.C. to meet their new neice. Caitlyn's soon to be born cousin said hello too (by kicking vigourously when Lissa was holding her). This past weekend, Caitlyn's Great Aunt Ginny got to meet her too.

Happy Halloween

On Halloween, Jamie Fussner Foley and her daughter Keira came to visit us. Keira's 10 months old. All I could think while taking this picture was "I can't believe Caitlyn will be that size in 10 months!"

Caitlyn's been happily settling into life here at home. Sometimes she comes to work with Dad, helping with the programming, and Nana Edwards drops in to visit most days. Caitlyn loves her new bouncy chair and she loves Geraldine's friend Jenny, who came to visit last night.

Today, Caitlyn, Geraldine and I left the house for the first time since we got home Sunday. First, it was off to Greenwich hospital for Caitlyn's post-partum test. She passed with flying colors. In fact, she's nearly back to her birth weight already, something that usually only happens at about 2 weeks old.

That afternoon, we tried out the snap-n-go stroller on a jaunt around town. We're gonna try to do that every day or so.

Heading Home!!!

After 4 nights in the hospital, the big day finally arrives! It's time for Caitlyn to leave the hospital and see her home for the first time. But first, Greenwich Hospital gives mom and dad one last special meal. Lobster for Mom, Filet Mignon for Dad and Champagne for all!

Caitlyn headed home on Sunday, Oct. 28

On the third and fourth days, Baby Caitlyn met many more new people. Uncle Peter arrived. So did Great Aunt Nancy. And some of Geraldine's best friends, Sarah and Tricia, got to meet her too.
