Caidyn loves Gramma

Well this was a weird week for us.

On Sunday afternoon we took my mommy to the hospital because she was having some memory and word recall issues and a lot of pain. We found out she had a bleed in her brain. It was really scary - she was in the ICU for like 2 days, then the neurological wing of the hospital, and today she came home! She will be out of work for a long time but her prognosis is good and she should heal up. They are saying it is a totally random event and, as long as the tests keep coming back normal, isn't something she needs to worry about in the future!

It was an especially stressful week for me as Brian had to go out of town for work. I was able to be at the hospital with my mom during the day while Caidyn was at daycare, but I always felt so sad I had to leave by 4:20 to pick Baby C up.

But Caidyn and I had a little photo shoot to bring some of her cheerful spirit to the hospital to make her Gramma happy :)

1/3 of the year has past!

And she is 4 months old now! Oh goodness!

So the theme of this months pictures was numbers. There are lots of fun numbered facts about my little 4 month old munchkin! 

Most impressive - both the number of foods she has tried and how big she is! 16 lb 6 oz! Holy moly! At her littlest weight, shortly after we came home from the hospital, she was only 5lb 2 oz. Meaning she has more than tripled in size since birth! Crazy. But she is perfect. 

On her 4 month birthday we had dinner at Gramma and Grumpypa's house and Grumpypa bought Caidyn the cutest little cake! It happened to coordinate really well with the outfit she had on (one of the adorable onsies from the onsie game at my beautiful baby shower). She ended up with her first taste of frosting that evening - and, duh, loved it! 

Oh my goodness my 4 month old girl! I love you so much and I can't believe that much time has already flown by! Wow!!!! 

SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE WHOLE NIGHT!!!!

And it was on an extra Monday off  - SCORE!

So we celebrated by having a whole family cuddle in bed. It was beautiful!

My little baby fits in the stroller now

Without her infant seat...

What a big happy girl!

First time in the giant bath!

Aka the pool

Well, the hot tub. Turned way down to be more like the warm tub.

#UCFiesta Bowl!

Just a few pictures of Caidyn before the UCF Fiesta bowl -and then wearing the hat that says it all!

#Wyssmas2013 and New Years 2014

We had an amazing Christmas this year! We started off with church and then Christmas even dinner at my grandparents house - Caidyn and I wore our matching outfits! And you better believe I will be stalking to get that onsie or a dress or something for next year (and probably every year forever) so we can always match. 

Christmas morning we woke up just the 5 of us (A, B, C, + the boys!) and had a nice little time! 

Then the Block/Bershad side of the family came over for brunch - it was super yummy! We have hosted brunch at our house the past couple years and it has turned into one of my favorite traditions!

After that the Wyss/Havemeier family came over for dinner - we made lasagna (one of my favorites!) and hung out - it was a nice change for a year to host while Papa and Nana's house is renovated.

A week later we celebrated Caidyn's first new years! Our little girl wore her "best" outfit and saw some fireworks that Grumpypa put on for her - some scared her and some she loved! Mommy and Baby were both asleep by 10:30, but Daddy stayed up to make sure 2014 happened :)
