"Mama" at Last!

Cailin finally started saying "Mama" last weekend and now she likes to say it all the time, especially when she wants to be picked up. I think she's figured out if she says "Mama", I'll rush over and pick up her. She's attempting new syllables all the time. One day she was playing with Toby and started saying "tatata", she's so smart! Labor Day weekend we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Burleson. We all had so much fun. Cailin got to go on to her first fancy restaurant, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. We knew everyone in the restaurant would hate us when they saw us with a baby, but Cailin, being the perfect angel that she is, never cried once! She was even two hours past her bedtime. We actually had a man stop us and commented on how well behaved she was as if we didn't already know : )



She decided to help Grandpa read the paper one morning. I think she was looking for the stats from the UT game.

She got to spend some rare time with her Uncle Brad and Aunt Maggie. I guess she wanted them to herself for a while before her cousin arrives in May!

The days following coming home, both Cailin and Mama have come down with some kind of virus that has knocked us both for a loop. She's getting better but Saturday she was pretty listless and not like her normal cheery self. After a quick trip to the doctor, we were assured that she was doing okay and she just needed time for the virus to pass. Hopefully it happens sooner rather than later for all our sakes.
