Fall Festivities

Some fun fall things we've been doing:

We went to the Farmstead with our friends Caleb, Meg and Cole. Cole and Sophie are good friends and had fun playing in the corn, watching pigs race and picking out little pumpkins.

We carved pumpkins with the Schicks.

Sophie and Navy got to wear a Halloween costume to ballet class.

Sophie painted and bejeweled this pumpkin.

Caitlin is 1 Month Old

Her 1st bath:



Caitlin is a sweet little angel. She still sleeps almost the entire day! Seriously, 20+ hrs a day. I probably shouldn't admit this, but sometimes I forget about her.

Go Broncos!

Caitlin's Blessing

Phil's grandma Mina made this blessing gown for Caitlin.

It's so hard to get a good picture of a newborn!

Phil gave her a sweet blessing. We are grateful for all the friends and family who attended. And for my mom for making her amazing cinnamon rolls to share afterward!

Caitlin Elaine Mason

Born on Wednesday, Sept. 15th 2010 at 4:48 pm.

6 lbs. 2 oz. 19 1/2 in.

My labor was a piece of CAKE compared to Sophie. Started having contractions Wed am about 9:30, went to the hospital around 12:30 and Caitlin was here at 4:48! We are so grateful nothing went wrong except for the epidural wearing off on my left side and the cord was around her neck. Had to just deal with the pain since she came so fast and Dr. Hodges was a pro getting the cord unwrapped quickly.

Right before we left the hospital, we found out Caitlin's bilirubin levels are a little high so they sent us home with a light machine and she's had to be hooked up to it ever since. She's been such a trooper and its been annoying, but we are grateful it isn't anything more serious. She is our little glow worm!

Sophie has been super sweet with her. She hasn't been trying to maul her, just does her own thing and once in a while will come over and give her a kiss or help me change her diaper.

She is gorgeous (as you can plainly see) and I think looks just like Sophie did. I'm sure we'll see more of a difference as she gets older, but right now they are almost identical to me! You decide.
