As you can see, Kaitlyn was cheering for the Eskimos to win the Grey Cup. And they did, what a fantastic game and what a wonderful fan.
Well over the last week we have taken Kaitlyn car shopping and to Regina. We haven't bought a car but we did have fun in Regina.
November 27 was not only Grey Cup Sunday, but it was Judy Clark's 50th birthday. That's right 50, I was shocked myself, she doesn't look a day over 49. Anna had planned a surprise party for her mother on the Saturday and we actually drove down there as a surprise to her as well. You should have seen her face when we standing at the door, talk about priceless. So for the weekend we visited with Anna's family. On Saturday the woman had an afternoon tea for Judy's birthday and they guys went to look at new vehicles. On Sunday we drove Home and believe it or not, Kaitlyn slept the whole ride home, less an hour for feeds. She was so tuckered out from all the excitement of the weekend. Everybody seems to love Kaitlyn, but then if you look at her, how could you not. We didn't actually watch the Grey Cup...yet. I did record it and I will watch it, however we did listen to it on the way home. Talk about tense. WOW. Congratulations Esks!! Happy Birthday again Judy!
I will let you go for now, but we will return with more updates after a message from our sponsor.......FLICKR.
It has been a while, for that I am sorry. The Last 3 weeks have been quite a busy time.
On November 1st, Kailtyn, Mommy and I watched Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. So far she has watched 5 of the 6 films. I doubt she will remember but it was fun to watch the movies with her. On November 5th, we took Kaitlyn to Lacombe to visit her Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Anderson. Grandma and Grandpa Anderson from Calgary came to visit as well and they brought along Kaitlyn's bratty uncles, Tubbs and Castillo. It was nice to see everyone and we had a wonderful time.
On November 8th, we took Kaitlyn to the Clinic to receive her first set of shots. Daddy had to hold her as mommy could not. Kailtyn and mommy both cried when Kaitlyn received the shots. Soon after the shots were done, mommy calmed down Kaitlyn and she then went to sleep. Kailtyn handled her shots so well. She was a little fussy for the next couple of days but there was no reaction to the shots. We were really worried about the shots, apparently there is this whole debate over if the are good or bad and that they may cause Autism and other things. The Lord watched over Kaitlyn and she seems to be perfectly fine now.
On November 12th, we took Kailtyn out to Spruce grove. We went and saw my Aunt Margie and cousin Laura. After visiting for an hour we came home. Kaitlyn and Mommy helped Daddy decorate the house with Christmas lights. She was so cute all bundled up. To see a couple picture please check out the link at the end of this post.
On November 16, Anna took Kaitlyn for her 3 month check up. Kaitlyn weighs 13lbs, 12oz, and she is 24.2 inches horizontally. She is starting to play with her toys more often. She is reaching out to hit them all the time. Just the other day she reached out and grabbed her little bug, that lives on her car seat, and held onto it for quite a while.
Kailtyn is talking...well at least mommy interprets it that way. Mommy starts every day off by playing and talking to Kaitlyn. Mommy will say "Hi Kaitlyn" and Kaitlyn responds with what appears to sound as "Hi". When she gets her diaper changed, she just loves to watch her 3 bear mobile. We turn it on and she watches it go all the way around, and kicks and talks to it, she just gets so excited. Apparently she also says "Hi" to the bears.
Enjoy the new PICTURES!
Talk to you again soon!
We are back, but not in black! Kaitlyn is 11 weeks old! Wow it feels like she has been with us for almost 3 months. Oh... I guess that would be 11 weeks. Just a little joke to ease the tension. Those pictures are of Kaitlyn and her little friend, Avery. She is ten days older than Kaitlyn. They met in Regina during Thanksgiving weekend. Avery is Barrie and Lesley Clark's third child. Barrie is Doug's(Anna's Dad),first Cousin. She is so happy, most of the time. She just smiles a lot, and it looks so cute. Every morning is the same, Kailtyn wakes up and smiles and talks, well not really, more like GAH;KAY;MGAY;MKAY;DAA and similar words. I am trying to get her to say DADA, it's only a matter of days...well ok maybe months, but I am trying. She had her first giggle On Oct 28, saying AH.AH.AH, while we were in the kitchen making supper, talk about a suprise.
Kaitlyn went to church for the first time, on Oct 23. She was awake the whole time. Anna had to leave for awhile and feed her, but that's alright, there's no better time to teach her about the Lord. Anna went to weigh Kaitlyn today, she weighs 13 lbs 3/4 oz. Kaitlyn is 23 1/4 inches long. I would say tall, but she really can't stand yet. Maybe the proper term is, 23 1/4 inches horizontally, or maybe I am just Babbling. Well it has been a busy week and it gets even better, you get another post tomorrow Nov 1. That's right, Kaitlyn's first Halloween! She looked so cute in her little .... oh wait, I don't want to spoil the suprise. In the mean time, please take a look at Kaitlyn's new PICTURES!
There will be a new post On Oct 31. However I wanted to point out a couple of things.
One is that Anna had taken an old chandelier from her brother Philip's room and decorated it with beads and fake gem stones and we put it up in Kaitlyn's room.
While we were in Regina for Thanksgiving, we received a little dog that has been a wonderful addition to our family. We named him Patrick Lamont the 3rd, or Patches for short. Patches was given to us by Charles and Jackie, who have 3 kids of their own, and are expecting their fourth. Coming up with Patrick's name was quite the effort, however Anna's eldest brother Paul helped out. You will see by the picture that he is Green, Yellow and has some patches, well 3 to be exact.
Green: Patrick as in St Patrick of the Irish.
Yellow: Lamont as in Lime/Lemon.
the 3rd: three patches.
As most of you may know, Kaitlyn has her own fish tank.It is a little tank, at only ten gallons. The week after she was born we went and bought 4 molly's for her tank. Three weeks ago Anna noticed a little baby fish swimming in the tank. She put the fish in a little breeder tank, and we have watched it grow. On Saturday Oct 29th we noticed more little fish. So we put them in the breeder and tank, and took out the first baby fish, just to be on the safe side. We now have 25 fish. I don't know what we are going to do with them. We do have 2 other tanks, so maybe we will end up stocking them up or maybe give them away to a pet store.
More in a while.....
