7 weeks and counting.....

Caelyn is 7 weeks old today! She makes us smile each day...when she smiles at me it melts my heart. How good is the Lord to allow us the chance to be a part of her life.

One of my favorite songs these past two months is by Plumb it's called Blink -

"I'd like to remember. I'd like to know all you are. I'd like to now everything you'll be. Where will you go? What will you do? When the world's right in front of you.

When I think of how slowly life passes by. Then I'll blink and your growing. No longer a child. What can I do, to capture this moment in time is to sing you a lullaby.

I like to watch you dream. I like to touch your face. I like to hold you in a sweet embrace. When will you laugh? When will you cry? When will you need a special place to hide."

Life is so sweet, and every moment with her is so precious. When I was still pregnant someone special told me that when you have a child you experience a new kind of love, how can you love someone so very much the very first time you hold her...I don't know but it is an amazing feeling. We truly are blessed!

She enjoys riding in her carseat and this is one of my favorite bows!

She is a GOOD sleeper. She now sleeps in her crib at night and for the past week has slept 9-9 1/2 hours at night. Daddy had to wake her up to get her ready for church on Sunday! How lucky are we!!!

Caelyn has noticed the duck Jason painted behind her changing table and she loves to coo and talk to Suzy Zoo when you change her diaper! It is really cute!

6 weeks old!

This weekend Caelyn attended her first wedding! Daddy sang at the wedding and she got to meet her Aunt Aimee for the very first time.

These are pictures from today as she is 6 weeks old!!!

She is getting really interactive and likes to coo and smile a lot. We enjoy having "conversations" together and she is still sleeping really good at night for us.

Sleeping in Daddy's arms is one of her favorite places to be!

one month strong

It is hard to believe that Caelyn is one month old. Time does seem to fly with a little one and we are loving every moment. In our first month together Caelyn helped daddy finish his painting project at church, mommy survived a run in with the flu, and Caelyn has decided she likes her rest sleeping 7-8 hrs most nights. We are truly blessed with her in our lives and picked some fun pictures to share below.....

one month old and we love to move our feet!!!

Here is a family photo. Caelyn is still getting used to looking at the camera at just the right moment. Here she turned to show off her fabulous hair bow mom made!

stretching is one of our favorite things to do!

Caelyn is starting to like bath time more and more.

Drying her hair always reveals alot of natural red curls...

Penny's hair shows less natural curls after her bath. In fact she doesn't enjoy bath time as much as Caelyn - notice the glare she is giving me as I take her picture.
