Summer Solstice

For the past five years, the two of us have celebrated the official arrival of summer by sitting on the steps of the capitol building in downtown Nashville and watching the sun set over the city. This year, we were able to make it a true "family" tradition by taking Kaitlyn along with us. She was fascinated by the sights and sounds of the city. She even got to see her first helicopter fly overhead. It's getting much easier to take her out and about, so we hope to enjoy many more family outings.

First Father's Day

Jeff celebrated his first Father's Day this weekend. Kaitlyn's gift to him was a two hour nap so he could rest and watch the US Open. We took Kaitlyn to church for the first time and she did very well through the whole service. She looked so pretty in her frilly white dress. We were praying that she wouldn't poop on it! Here are some pics from the weekend.

The first month

It's hard to believe that little Kaitlyn has been with us for over a month now. It's definitely been a month of adjustment for us. But fortunately she's been a pretty easy baby. And the best thing is that she's sleeping for SEVEN HOURS at night! Here are a few memorable moments...

Until the umbilical cord fell off, we gave Kaitlyn sponge baths. Here we are preparing to give her one. You can see what she thought about that. She didn't stay asleep for long though!

The first tub bath was a completely different story. Although she clearly hated the first bath, we're happy to say she has now changed her mind. In fact, I think she actually likes the warm water!

Her favorite thing to do is watch people's faces. She is obviously fascinated by Daddy's.

Here's Kaitlyn during her playtime on her Baby Einstein mat.

And her favorite thing to do after a nursing session is to fall asleep!

There have been many fun and sweet moments so far, and we look forward to many more in the second month!
