More adventures in parenting

So the bug will be 6 weeks on Monday and we have found the best way to keep her happy is to carry her around in the Baby Bjorn on my chest. She'll nap all day if I just have her close. She hates being abandoned to a room by herself to sleep. So I carry her around a lot now and I'm able to get so much done! Besides, one day she'll be 14 and way too cool for me, so I'm enjoying the fact that she wants to be so close to mommy all the time :)
We were given a mold to make of baby's first hand print so I decided since she was asleep I'd give it a shot. Well she doesn't ever stop moving those little hands and when I put her hand in she grabbed a whole bunch of the mold and wiped it everywhere. So I tried again (well the first attempt looked like crap!!) and the same thing happened. So now we have a mold of a little hand grabbing at the mold in two places and I had to give her a bath and change both our clothes!! LOL It was pretty amusing.


Here she is playing with her Papa. She's getting so interactive!! She smiles alot and has a lot to say these days. Lots of different sounds come out of the little girl and she'll chatter away at you if you'll listen and if she's in the mood.


It's hard work being a mommy, but man is it worth it ;) Here we are at 8:00 pm, we don't stay up too late around my house these days!

Bug Update

Sorry no pictures today :( Caelen's been sick since Christmas. She just got another bug (haha bug..... just like her) on top of the one she had last week, so now she's coughing along with the snuffles. Poor girl. But the doctors say she's fine because she's still eating well and has no fever. Today we went in again and she now weighs 10 lbs 7 ozs!!! That's 3lbs 5oz gain in 4 weeks!! So we're doing infant tylenol, humidifiers, saline drops and steamy showers. Speaking of steamy (for all you Grey's Anatomy fans) her Dr.'s name was Mark Sloan! LOL, but he was no McSteamy :)
Today I also went into the bank and let them know that I wouldn't be coming back. That went really well and everyone was very understanding and also a bit sad. I did really enjoy my job, but I have one now that's beyond a millon times better!!

BUG STATS
Current weight - 10lb 7oz
Current feats - Rolled over (once on New Years Day, and just to prove it was no fluke, 3 times yesterday) Smiling back at people. Talking (well saying "ah-goo" counts right?) Holding head up in some positions.
