Caelan is growing bigger and bigger everyday. We have even had to start getting out the next size of clothing because she is growing out of the newborn and 0-3 month stuff. We took her to the doctor a couple of days ago and she is now 23 Y2 inches long and weighs 121bs. The doctor said that she is in the 75 percentile for both her weight and length. She had to get a bunch of shots at that appointment,and she has hard a couple of hard days since then. I guess she is getting over some of the discomfort and such, but I sure feel bad for her. This past weekend we went to Cedar City -some friends of ours got a hold of a huge cabin for the weekend, so we went down to play. Caelan was greatly admired by all of our friends. We left her with Cam and Jenny (some friends) a couple of times while we went out on the dune buggy or rock climbing. She seemed to do just fine. She is getting much more social (wanting to interact with people) and because of that she is also getting a little spoiled. She wants to be held or have someone in the room with her most all of the time (with some exceptions). She screams so loud sometimes that she starts to lose her voice. Sometimes I just let her be for a little while so I can get things done, but after a while I can't take it, and I have to go to her and love her. She loves our porch swing -even when nothing else will calm her down, swinging always does the trick. Last night she slept for almost seven hours (which is a record not counting her first week home from the hospital). She is going to bed earlier and sleeping longer, which means that maybe she is starting to get into a routine of some sort (I hope so). She is just a darling (even when she is screaming her head off) -she couldn't be any cuter I don't think.
