Caitlin multi-tasking

I snapped this picture with my phone on the way to church one Sunday morning. I had put some cheerios in a cup for Caitlin to snack on on the way. Well, she was playing with her toys back there and I heard her just a talking away. I looked in the mirror and realized she had her little Minnie Mouse cell phone up to her ear and was talking to who knows who! She was steadily eating the cheerios with one hand while holding her phone with the other! She must have learned it from her Daddy!

Now, let's see what I can get into!

Play date with Grace Mayer

My cousin Kitty and her little girl Grace came over today to play. Grace is almost six months old. Actually she is one day shy....well, actually about three minutes...of being a year less than Caitlin. They had a good time. Grace just watched Caitlin most of the time and Caitlin played and played. Of course, she had to keep giving Grace hugs too. No crying though from either of them. Imagine that - two girls and no crying! Can't say that will happen again. Here are some pictures from our time together.....

Caitlin either holding onto Grace or pinching the fire out of her arm. I can't really tell which, but Grace didn't cry.....so I guess it wasn't that bad. Caitlin kept wanting to sit in Grace's Bumbo seat so I managed to get hers out from upstairs and she loved it. She only used it once when she was Grace's age! And that was because I couldn't squish her fat little legs in there!!!
Hey baby Grace. Caitlin would pick up one of Grace's toys and say "Grace" while handing her the toy.

Kitty and Grace after her bottle. Love that red hair!

Caitlin pointing out Grace's toes or piggies. But Grace is ticklish on her feet and probably didn't appreciate that gesture!

Caitlin was fascinated with the formula container and kept opening and closing the "cup" as she called it. So I went and got hers from when she was on formula.....but, no....that wasn't as good as Grace's. She played with that thing right up until we told them bye!

Caitlin at 17 months

Wearing some glasses that cousin Carey gave her. She's had a blast with this new-to-her toy.
Head full of curly hair in the back.....now if she'd just get some on the top!
Dancing in her pajamas with her babydoll. This girl loves to dance. Must get it from her Daddy 'cause she sure didn't get it from me!
Showing Daddy where her teeth are. She's just about got all her body parts down - eyes, ears, nose, teeth, hair, fingers, toes (or piggies), and belly button! Watch out, she's been known to pull up strangers' shirts to see their bellybuttons......I'm just saying......you've been warned!
Once again with her glasses on.

Church youth party for 4th of July

Caitlin showing her teeth

Caitlin's new "trick" is to show off her teeth - all sixteen of them! She gives this cheesy grin which you will see. She's doing great. Running all over the place, talking up a storm, and she will repeat anything you say. Here she is with Mommy's necklace on and a runny nose. Such is the life of a sixteen month old!

Caitlin playing with Nate in the pool

This morning Leah and Nate came over so the kiddos could play in the pool. Caitlin was quite clingy at first, but warmed up to the idea after a half hour or so of not getting in the water. They had a good time playing outside and inside for a couple of hours. Then it was back to lunch and nap. Nate will be having a little sister in September. Leah is doing well with the pregnancy and a toddler. Anyway, after much playing in the water and eating goldfish, we had a great time!

Nate was showing me his teeth....in a sideways sort of way....looks like Elvis to me!
