Just an everyday update…

This past weekend Cailee got to meet Aunt Beth (or Aunt Bethie as she was often referred to). It was a fun time. Beth brought her boyfriend Reg over to Mom and Dad’s in Greensboro and Uncle Dave was there too. Cailee seemed to enjoy meeting everyone. She is really enjoying life these days –…

Dear Cailee,

Its amazing how you are coming more and more alive every day. Just this weekend I was reading “What to expect the first year” and it listed what you should be able to do by three months. I remember thinking, I am not sure you can lift your head up 90 degrees and support yourself…

Whatz going on.

This past weekend in short (really short)… We had Cailee’s first photo shoot at Picture People. We completed our paneling project in the family room – we added a little “architectural detail!” (although I need to repaint – since the same color paint – doesn’t match :() + it was Lola’s first birthday! Up next……

She’s about as photogenic as her mom…

And that’s not saying much… So Cailee had her first official photo shoot this weekend and even though I prayed fervently in the days leading up to the event, she did not have her most cooperative 30 minutes ever. Granted, we just went to Picture People, the walmart of photographers, and even though they tried…

Got milk?

So if there is one thing I am doing really well at as a mom – its feeding. Cailee entered this world as a small tike (just 6-9) – and check back at some way early posts and you’ll see there was actually concern over an unusually small head and less than average measurements –…

Through the eyes of a baby

So it all started mid last week (eight weeks). I was pacing the family room and JJ was holding Cailee and out of my peripheral I realized that her little head was snapping back and forth, keeping in perfect sync with me. Then Cailee attended her first college football game this weekend in Greenville (happened…

So far only one complaint with Fall

Well you can probably guess what the downside of Fall has been this year if you watched TV at all in the last 12 hours but that aside, I have to focus on the positive and there has been plenty. To start, the leaves have been incredible. JJ and I packed up Lola, Cailee and…

Yea JJ!

So today was a big day for me – maybe not even so much for JJ, because even though he has ridden charity bike rides before, this one represented so much more. I even teared up when he took off (lack of sleep can make you extra sensitive). But I remember 7 months ago fretting…

Cailee visits IBM

And makes her first powerpoint…. Well she didn’t exactly “make” the powerpoint (at least not yet, that will be her first art project though), but she was featured as the newest member of the IBM dW family on today’s all hands call. Cailee is certainly an ibm-er in training – although we haven’t even gotten…

Video:: So turns out we are directionally challenged

JJ and I have always wanted to do a corn maze. Well now we’ve done it but can’t say we’ve conquered it. Yesterday, we went to McKee Maze in Rougemont. It was beautiful – we couldn’t have asked for better weather – and oh yea, Cailee was there too – although she did miss most…
