Is Caitlin the new Gap Model

Derek and I have entered Caitlin in the Gap.com casting call. They are looking for children ages 0-4 years old. So after talking to a few people we have decided to enter Miss Caitlin.

I will add the link here to the website if you would like to vote for her. I do want to let you know in advance that you will need to register an email address along with a few other items. This will allow you to vote once a day from now until November 17th.

the website is www.gap.com/castingcall. You then register to vote and then to find Caitlin's go to fan favorites and search for barbloseke (all one word). then vote for your fan favorite which hopefully is Caitlin. You are able to vote for each picture one time per day. So please go out and vote and vote often. Thanks again. The winner gets $1000.00 shopping spree and a family vacation to a beaches resort.

Thanks so much for the votes, we are mainly doing this just for fun. Have a great evening.

Caitlin's Weekend Update

Caitlin is becoming such a mover and a shaker now. She is walking more and more everyday and really starting to figure it out. She still has her moments when she thinks crawling is easier but has now realized she can walk with the big kids. She also is realizing that walking can get you into a little more trouble when it comes to bumping your head on things. She has a little bruise on her face from where she decided to walk into the side of the couch at daycare. It didn't seem to slow her down one bit though.

She is also starting to explore more foods, we for sure have a fruit and veggie lover in the house. Her all time favorite fruit is the banana. Every time she hears the word she goes super crazy and does a little dance. She is such a monkey when it comes to her bananas. She is also really starting to like corn and peas. We are still trying to work on the green beans but without much luck. She is for sure keeping us on our toes and we are loving every minute of it.

We finally have a weekend at home and I think both Derek and I as well as Caitlin are enjoying just hanging out and not running around town. I am hoping to get some new pictures and video of her up soon so keep your eyes and ears open.

The Great Adventures of Caitlin....

Well the time has finally come. Miss Caitlin has grown into another step of independence and big girl status. As of Sunday the 4th....Caitlin is walking!!!! She gets so excited about walking that she does a little dance before she starts to move around. We are very excited that she is walking and its so much fun to see her steps and move about. She really likes to walk to her chair in the living room and then sit down, then stand on the chair, then sit down, the decide to be on the move again. She also likes to walk to her penguin give it a hug and then walk away. We will be sure to have the video of Caitlin's new adventures up soon. Hope everyone has a great weekend and tries to stay warm.

Welcome October

Caitlin is really enjoying her second fall. I can't believe that she will be 13 months in just a few short days. She is continuing to grow so fast each day. We are currently working on learning "no" and "yes". Which Caitlin has "no" down so well and is gradually learning yes. Her vocabulary is growing as fast as she is tall. We are up to about 15 words or so and learning to put words together to make sentences. I am most proud of her ability to say "please" and "thank you".

We now have 12 teeth and she is exploring more foods that allow her to chew with all teeth, we recently tried oranges in which Caitlin was so proud to feed herself and really enjoyed. We are still working on the veggies that are not mashed up baby food, but she still loves her Green Beans and Rice. (Thank you Gerber).

Well she is keeping us on our toes including now, she is dropping her toys down the stairs and letting us know "uh-oh". Hope everyone has a great weekend and is able to stay warm.
