Not Guilty?

While Grady and I finished eating supper last night Caitlin played in the living room. Normally this is no problem, but with the addition of the bowl of Halloween candy within reach it seemed she just couldn't help herself...

Although, after closer inspection it turns out that she DID obey Papa telling her not to touch the candy and instead gnawed on one of the gummy-window-decoration bats that was also within reach-! (and funnily enough we could barely tell which bat it was--those things are majorly bite proof!) She hasn't shown signs of fatal poisoning yet, so I think she might just pull through. I came upon her sitting in front of the tv she had just turned on, with this expression on her face (see picture) and couldn't help but laugh at how cute she was, just hanging out after her little "snack". Needless to say we fed her more supper after this!

Masterpiece

Anytime Caitlin goes past the fridge she stops and admires her work of art. A couple of weeks ago we sat down with a huge piece of paper and some washable markers for her first "art class" and of course posted it on the fridge afterward. She will point and describe the intricacies that only the artist herself would pick up and of course pays herself numerous compliments each time (saying, "wow!" repeatedly). Love it!

How Inventive!

She's recently discovered that she can carry this cat-head-shaped lego block in her mouth, allowing her her normal freedom of movement (ie with both hands)...and as a bonus, it makes a slight whistling sound when she breathes through it! (which ups its "fun" level a ton and also helps Mama track where she is-!)

Lounging ON a Friend

Maybe we should teach her you don't do this on just anybody? (She's laying directly on her stuffed bear, covering his face!)

Frolicking

Caitlin loved trompsing around Opa and Oma's backyard this past summer. I just came across this picture of her and had to post it!

Au Naturale

Sometimes after a nap my hair looks like this, and that's without gel or anything!!

It's not my favorite look, as you can tell by my expression...
