One month old already!

I can't believe it, but Kaitlyn is one month old! In some ways, the month has flown by. On the other hand, I almost can't remember life without her. The occasion was somewhat marred by the loss of my cat, Mulder. We had to put her down after a wonderful 12 years together. We miss her dearly. It is very ironic to me that Mulder chose to "pass the torch" to Kaitlyn. Mulder prepared us so well for Kaitlyn's battle in the NICU with the feeding tube. And she hung in there long enough to meet Kaitlyn.

Here are some highlights from the last couple of weeks:

Kaitlyn was a little small for her Thanksgiving outfit, but it was still cute.

She is much more aware of her surroundings now. She loves to look around and take in the sights. This was her hanging out in her pack-n-play and looking at the animals.

The rest of her umbilical cord finally fell off, so we were able to give her a full bath. She enjoyed it much more than the sponge baths. In this picture, I was trying to get an eye booger out of her eye, but it kinda looks like I'm plugging her nose.
