Christmas 2008

Christmas this year was so much fun!  Dad, Uncle Austin, Aunt Madison, Cici and Bear came over to our house Christmas Eve.  We opened presents and Caitlin had a ball seeing all her new toys.  Then Christmas Day Santa came and Caitlin got to play with all her new toys before going over to Cici and Bear's for dinner.  Although she was barely one year old, she seemed to enjoy the celebrations and we all had a very nice Christmas.  

As for "what's new with Caitlin"....she said her first word: "Baby".  Every time she sees a baby, whether it be a picture, a real baby, or herself in the mirror she says it.  It's so cute!  She also says "hi" when she waves, and she tells our two dogs to "stay" (something we are always telling them apparently) :)

Her first Airplane....Her Great Grandfather would have been so proud!

Caitlin Meets Santa Claus

Caitlin met Santa for the first time this year!  People warned us she might cry the whole time, but there were no tears!  She just stared him down the entire time with a look of "who the heck are you Mr.?"  

Happy Birthday Caitlin Leigh O'Brien!!!!!

  

      

Caitlin turned 1-Year Today!

We had a nice party with just family, but we decorated to the fullest and there was plenty of cake and decorations!  Caitlin was in such great spirits for her party.  She helped open her presents and really seemed to enjoy herself.  I can't believe a whole year has gone by since she was born.  A year ago today our little baby girl came into this world, 6 lbs 8 ounces, so tiny and dependent upon us.  Now here she is a year later, walking, playing, jibber jabbing, and seeming to grow up so quickly.  Time fly's when you're happy. 

Happy Birthday our Sweet Caitlin
