Happy Easter!

Here's just a few pictures from this past Easter. We "went" to church in the morning (ended up just hanging out in the hall for most of the mass since it was ridiculously crowded....amazingly, Caitlyn was actually content just sitting quietly and playing with her Easter basket for most of the time), then headed up to brunch with Nana and Gramps Edwards as well as some extended family.

Many thanks to Tricia and Laura Kapp for loaning us the beautiful Easter attire. Caitlyn (and her mommy) are very lucky to have friends with such exquisite taste.

After brunch and a nap, we went to a friend's house for an Easter egg hunt.

Some random pics...yes, Caitlyn loves her shoes but not necessarily on her feet. Sometimes, she'll don her shoes on her hands and pretend she's walking around on her hands.

She's loves playing with our spin around pantry. I turned around for one moment and somehow, she had managed to open the package and got ahold of some vanilla cookies.

Visit from the Godfather

A few weekends ago, Caitlyn's Godfather, Geordie, his wife, Julie, and their daughter, Sophie, made the trek out to the 'burbs to spend some time with us. Not only did the grown-ups have a great evening out, but the two toddlers also got to spend some quality time with each other. (Sophie is 10 days older than Caitlyn.) Here is a picture of Caitlyn and Sophie taking a bath (I'm sure we'll hear from the two girls about this picture in about 15-20 years, if not sooner.)

Here's Geordie reading Good Night Moon to the two girls.

Caitlyn's new preoccupation....crawling through our coffee table. She used to be scared of doing so (I think she found it claustrophobic) but for some reason, she tried it today and now loves it.

Caitlyn Walks the Catwalk

Yes, we've been bad bloggers. Many apologies for the lack of posts. Caitlyn has been a handful but we're enjoying life with a toddler. Perhaps this is a girl thing or a toddler thing, but she has a LOVE of shoes. I can't take off my shoes for a second without her swiping them off somewhere to put them on. As the video shows, she has even tried on her first pair of high heels and gets around quite well in them if I do say so myself.




She is also really letting us know her mind (i.e. what she wants) and has her "Yesses" and "Nos" down. (See the video below taken during lunch time.) She has also fully initiated herself into toddlerhood by getting her first black eye at the playground. She barely even cried and wanted to get right back into the action. Excuse the runny nose as well in the video -- she has been fighting a nasty cold.
