Caitlyn tested out her new Nature Sway sling and helped mommy with a quick trip to the market today. Clearly this sling is kid approved! :)

Miss Caitlyn Ann turned 9 weeks old on Sunday (08 March) and celebrated by sleeping a full eight, yes, EIGHT full hours uninterrupted through the night! Ahhhhh Bliss..... actually I kinda freaked out. I woke up like clockwork at 4am for our regular 'dreamfeed' wondering what was wrong. After a quick peak at my babe and listening to her peaceful breathing I laid back down stunned...and then drifted off myself. Oh sweet sleep how I've missed you! Baby girl woke for a quick meal around 6:00 AM Sunday morning and then went straight back to bed for nearly another two hours! Finally waking up refreshed and full of smiles and coos around 8:30 AM to the sound of her daddy making coffee... I have such an awesome kid. My heart is so full.
Thank you little miss! Let's make this a habit shall we? :)

Caitlyn's Birth Announcement
So last week Drew and I finally completed Caitlyn's birth announcement and sent it out to family and friends. It was pretty fun brainstorming and collecting items to pull it all together... and even though it didn't turn out exactly as I had envisioned I think it's pretty darn cute! The perfectionist in me is quickly learning that when it comes to time management with a baby sometimes done is better than perfect. :)
I love that we were able to incorporate a few gifts Caitlyn received into the photo. I think it just makes it that much more special and memorable. Maybe I just find it comforting because we are so far away from family and incorporating them into her announcement in some way kind of takes the edge off missing everyone so much during these early days with a newborn... The handmade quilt she's laying on (backside up) and ballerina are gifts from Caitlyn's nana and that cute outfit is from her sweet older cousin, Josie, who we can't wait to introduce to baby girl in April when we head back to the States!
Her crown was a concoction Drew whipped up with an empty tp roll and a little left over yellow tissue paper he found in my gift wrap supplies. My favorite element however are the little letter blocks that spell Caitlyn. We created those just for this special occasion. If I have a chance I'll post a DIY on how we put them together.

What's that Caitlyn? You mean you're four weeks old today? No way... How the heck did that happen so fast?!!
A New Year // A New Project
Well, January is almost over. Man that went blazin' fast! With all the baby commotion and sleepless nights the past few weeks everything has just felt like one big blur of a day and somehow nearly a month of the new year has slipped away... Before 2015 gets too far away from me and into full swing I wanted to make sure and get my New Year's project finally started!!
I've been anticipating for months finally getting to attempt a new photo project this year called The 52 Project, which I've enjoyed watching other bloggers participate in for the past couple of years. Now that I have a little one of my own I've been super eager to get in on it, especially knowing my baby girl would be a January arrival! I'm already a little behind, but I'm thinking that's ok considering I'm a new mamma who's still getting the hang of things. I've been taking photos for the past few weeks with this project in mind, but haven't had a chance to post any of them yet, so this first post is a little bit of catch up.
I'm going to do my best to stay committed to this project for the entire year. I would really love to be able to look back at these images at the end of 2015 and just relish in all the sweet moments and memories created throughout the year, and of course watch the amazing progress my girl makes as she grows and develops throughout her first year of life.
