Caitlin had her 6 month pictures taken last weekend and let me tell you they are amazing. Angie with New World Designs did an amazing job. Let me know if you want her information. I will recommend her until I am blue in the face. Caitlin had such a great job and we ended up with over 500 pictures!!!!

In one of the pictures Caitlin is wearing a very cute Crocheted Beanie Hat. ( I must buy one or two). Well the lady who makes them saw how cute Caitlin looked in them and now Caitlin is the baby model on the website for the hats and headbands.

You can see her site here (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22804286). Let me tell you Caitlin looks so cute in the hats (as you can see in the picture above). I am so proud of our little baby model.

Again thanks to Angie with New World Designs Photography and to Kissable Kreations for thinking Caitlin was cute enough to use her on her website.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

We just wanted to tell everyone to have a safe and Happy St. Patrick's Day. It is suppose to be a gorgeous day today, so I hope everyone can spend a little time outside and enjoy your family and friends. I have included the Old Irish Blessing today. It means a lot in my family and would like to pass it along to you.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Caitlin visits the zoo

Friday was a beautiful day in Omaha so Derek and I decided to take the day off of work and spend time with Caitlin. It was a late "Happy 1/2 year birthday" celebration for both daddy and Caitlin.

Caitlin really seemed to enjoy discovering new things, the animals, the sounds, other people. She is becoming such a little explorer. I think her favorite discovery was the Cat Complex. She really seemed to like the African Lions and they seem to have liked her as well. They both followed each other as they walked up and down the hallway.

She seems to be somewhat interested in the monkey's and their playing around, but most of all I think she really enjoyed spending the day with mommy and daddy. Well I know we enjoyed spending the day with her.

Caitlin's 6 months old!!!!!!!!!!!!

Derek and I spent a great evening at home with our 6 month old Caitlin. I know I say this almost every time, but I can't believe how quickly she has grown. She is really starting to come in to her own personality. We are really starting to discover her likes and dislikes.

She went and say the doctor the other day and she is now 15 lbs 9 ounces and 25 inches long. So from her birth weight of 7 lbs 9 ounces and 20 1/4 inches long. She is right on track for her age group.

We are so proud of her and her accomplishments. It's so crazy to see how much she has learned in the last 6 months. It's a phone book long list, well we as her parents, think is a phone book long list of accomplishments that she has made in the last 6 months. Its so crazy to watch her when she was just a few weeks old and just laid around hanging out to now where she is jumping around in her jumperoo...or trying to crawl across the living room floor to her being able to sleep through the night and starting to eat solid foods.

We are so proud of our little girl. We can't believe how quickly this time has gone and can only imagine that it goes by so much quicker as she gets older.

February Flew By

I didn't realize how quickly time was going to fly by this fast. February was a very busy month for the Loseke family. It was a great month for Caitlin to grow, grow, and do some more growing.

We of course had Caitlin's first Valentine's Day, in which she enjoyed a night at home with her parents. We not only saw the appearance of Caitlin sitting up a little more on her own, but we also meet her first two teeth. That is right our little girl now has her bottom two teeth. She really enjoys showing them off with her great big smiles.

Caitlin is now sitting up a little bit more on her one. She can take sit a little longer before she reaches for her toes and tries to eat them. :) She is also enjoying the challenge of learning to crawl. Caitlin can figure out her feet no problem, its just the hands that are getting to be the problem, but inside of getting upset about it. She seems take the opportunity to find her thumb. So thanks February for making our little girl grow and learn. We welcome March and all the great learning curves it will send our way.
