February 2013

We are so happy to see that Benjamin is such a loving and sweet big brother.  Caitlin was just hanging out in her bumbo chair watching Benjamin playing and the dogs running around, and Benjamin ran into the other room to get his flashcards and decided to teach her about some animals.  I couldn't resist grabbing the camera to capture this sweet moment.

Best Big Brother!

Benjamin had yet another haircut!  His hair grows so fast (just like his Mommy and Daddy's hair) so we made another trip to Snip-Its.  Each time it is getting a little bit easier...no crying and he sat in the chair all by himself. 

Caitlin had fun hanging out and watching her big brother get his hair cut.  She is growing up way too fast!

That night, we celebrated Lola's birthday on February 2 with dinner at Japan House.  Benjamin had a fun time playing with the chopsticks and entertaining the waitresses.  He also loved getting to help Lola blow out her candle on her cupcake!

Happy Birthday Lola!

A few days later, it was time for more cake to celebrate Caitlin's 5 month birthday...

As a special treat, Lolo and Lola brought Caitlin up to see Mommy at work while big brother Benjamin was at school!

All dressed up to visit Mommy

Benjamin is getting used to blowing out birthday candles, since it's his job to help Caitlin blow out her cake each month.  We had to light the candle several times so he could blow it out and kept saying "Again! Again!!" 

Growing girl!  She now weighs 16 pounds and is getting bigger and cuter every day :)

This past weekend we made a trip to Arkansas to visit Nana, Peepaw, Aunt Michelle (shell!), Uncle Clint and Keegan.  We decided to give it a try flying up to Little Rock, and Caitlin had her first plane ride!

Check out the shirt mommy made for her first flight!

Happy girl ready for takeoff!

Thankfully the flight was not full, so Benjamin got his own seat!

It was a short flight, but the kids both did great!  Caitlin slept right until we landed, and Benjamin kept himself busy with his crayons, toys and the iPad.

We were so excited to get to see everyone in Arkansas and celebrate a late Christmas in February. 

We were also so happy to see Papaw Sledge had come up for the day from Warren!

Unfortunately, Clint had to go to work before we took a picture with everyone!  I need to figure out how to photoshop him into the family photo!

Keegan was such a sweet cousin, keeping Benjamin constantly entertained....He LOVES his cousin Keegan and wanted to follow her around everywhere she went!  She was also so sweet with Caitlin, and kept her smiling and giggling!

We had such a great time even though it was a short trip!
