This photo was taken right before Caityn's first birthday. Now we have another birthday baby coming up on one year in just over a week! I can't believe Sean is almost one year old already. I think they look a lot like each other, but most people tell me that Caityn looks like me and Sean looks like Abel.
Sean is finally back to liking a bath. For a good month or so, he would only stand in the bathtub and cry. He seemed too afraid to sit in the water for some reason. And whenever I would try to wash his hair, the little stinker would hold his head over the edge of the tub, so that the water I poured on his head would end up on the bathroom floor. Thanks Sean! Well, he finally decided that bath time is fun. So now he and Caityn are still getting lots of water on the floor with all the splashing going on, but at least he is sitting in the tub again and loving it!!
Both kids have taken a liking to the piano. I think it might be time to think about piano lessons for Caityn. She likes to pretend she is playing songs and singing. Here she is really getting into the song she's singing. Sean is not so sure about his sister's musical talents.
Sunday night we had dinner with my family at my sister's house. It was "comfort food" night...Chicken Pie Shop pot pies. If you haven't had them before, you need to experience this at least once in your life...maybe only once in your life! The pie dinner is quite heavy and very starchy.
Anyway, after dinner, my sisters busted out the Wii and gave us their rendition of Radiohead's Creep. I wish I had taken a video of that!! Then everyone else tried out the drums and guitar.
Caityn tried out the drums too, but she was more interested in Aunt Kelly's old Strawberry "Fort"cake dolls.

I'll spare you the video I took of my sister and parents and leave you with this photo instead. Believe me...you don't want to hear it!
Lately, Caityn and I have been spending some time visiting Pixie Hollow online after Sean falls asleep. Mary Cozymeadow is the fairy that Caityn created. She got to choose how the fairy looked, what she wore, and what her special talent is (she picked Tinker talent like Tinkerbell), and even her name from a list of approved fairy names. Mary is the name of her friend in preschool.
The website is pretty cute. You can make your fairy fly around and she gets special quests from Tinkerbell and her friends. The games and tasks were too hard for Caityn to do, but she still enjoys watching me do them for her. The fairies fly around in a chat room type place, so that there are other fairies flying around made by other people. They can request to chat with you and be your friend, but that seems a bit creepy to me. The fairies are all pretty cute, but you never who the person is on the other side of the fairy. It could be an innocent 8 year old or some creepy old pervert. Still, it's a fun website to visit and a whole lot better than watching that whiny brat Caillou on Sprout.
Last year Caityn wore her Crocs nearly every day. She LOVED them. I think that they are way overpriced for being a pair of rubber shoes, but they must be pretty comfortable for kids. I searched around on the internet to see if maybe some website had Crocs on clearance, and was surprised to find that the official Croc website had an outlet section! We found these cute Mickey/Minnie Mouse Crocs for around 50% off! They arrived in the mail yesterday, and both Caityn and Sean were loving their new shoes. Sean kept taking them off the shoe shelf and trying to put them on. It was very cute. Just don't tell Caityn that there were Tinkerbell Crocs on clearance. They were out of her size :(
This photo was taken exactly two years ago tomorrow. Remember when she was running at 9 months old! We went to the park with our friends, and she just took off!
