I can't believe it. Caity will be a year old this Thursday.
We celebrated twice over the weekend. Once at Vin's parent's place and once at my grandparents place. The reason why we had to have 2 parties is a long and complicated story. The thing is both of us almost killed ourselves making the parties happen. I have been so busy at work, Gary had to remind me to call everyone from the Lai side of the family. I'm glad he did. My grandparents seemed to enjoy themselves, M sok enjoyed cooking for everyone and I enjoyed seeing Brannon play with Caitlin again.
Spent the weekend cooking 2 cakes in 2 days. The first cake was completely over done and shall never be repeated ever ever again. It was a 4 layer tower with cream cheese icing in between and decorations around the side. I even made 2 mini cupcake versions without nuts for the baby guests like Brannon and Billy's kid.
Poor Caity was so tired from the first party on Saturday that she fell asleep in the car on the way to the second party on Sunday. When she finally woke up, she was grumpy and not in the mood to socialize. It wasn't until later when she was playing with Brannon in the bedroom that she warmed up and started to enjoy her own birthday.
Such a darling little girl. Everything she does is a delight. I'll ask her, "Baby, where's your nose?" And she'll pinch my nose. "Where's the cat?" and she'll go "Kker". She says "cgoo" for "cold" when I bring a glass of cold water to my lips. "Shake" and she'll shake her head. She even dances in front of the TV when Kelvin's going at his guitar hero. She'll shake her head and twirl her hand in the air.
I love my little girl.
She's starting to have an opinion and she's very particular about food.
Breastfeeding is still going on. I'm giving in to her more because she's sick at the moment. She still wakes up at least once a night. More out of habit than anything. My dirty little secret is that I don't want our special time to end. Completely weaning her would mean that I can start living more of my own life. However, most of my life revolves around her anyway. I don't even remember what it was like before. Vin and I still sneak away from time to time. We try to spend some time together, just the two of us.
All in all, Caity's developing well and she's healthy. I would like for her to be a bit heavier and have less allergies but I'll sure she'll come along.
