Happy 3 month birthday, Caidyn!

The squeaker turned 3 months old! It was a great day home with both Mommy and Daddy getting ready for her first Christmas! It was a big month for her (1st Thanksgiving and race with Mommy!) but she is perfect as always. 

When Daddy is away...

Turns out we can be OK! And not just OK - but OK and ON TIME!!!

Brian has now gone out of town twice overnight (the first time for one night, this time for two) and Caidyn and I have been able to be in bed near to on time, and out the door on time! Like to go to work!

For someone who it first started taking 2 hours to leave the house with newborn Caidyn, only if I had to be somewhere in the middle of the day (I couldn't even imagine morning plans), being able to wake up and get ready for work, get Caidyn ready for her day with the baby sitter, take the boys on a nice walk, make lunches, etc etc in 1 hour 45 minutes to leave on time is something I am very very proud of!

Her daddy flies in around noon today so he will be picking her up from the baby sitters so I put her in a cute outfit for him to be greeted by! And I took pictures just in case she ends up dirtying that outfit and needs to change - likely with our little drooler :)

Daddy's Princess <3

Just keep swimming swimming swimming!

No one loves the water more than Caidyn - and she is already trying to swim away! Maybe we have a future competitive swimmer on our hands! Brian and I were both competitive swimmers at one point (I think it is a Florida kid right of passage...) and it looks like she might follow in our footsteps!

Newschool and Retro

Caidyn and I wore our first of the two matching outfits I bought when I was still hardly pregnant and before we knew she was a girl.



Her daddy put her in that onsie yesterday morning so I knew when I got home from work a quick change was in order so we could be matching best friends.

I can't wait to wear the second of the two - I'm saving it for a special picture!

5th Avenue Tree Lighting!

A new Wyss family tradition began last night. We took Caidyn to the 39th Annual Christmas Walk and Tree Lighting Ceremony on 5th Avenue last night!

Lights + Music = Caidyn was SO SO SO excited all night!

We put her in the carrier we can both use (that matched Christmas colors) and we tried forward facing! She is still a little small but it seemed silly to take her to a place so she could watch everything and have her face me, and she did just fine!

We dressed her in one of many Christmas outfits!

She had blast walking around and looking at the lights - although she was starting to get tired by the time we found someone to take a family picture for us...

It was a fun tradition we hope to keep going! They had a Santa to meet (the line was long and it was getting close to the time we had to leave to start bedtime at the right time), stockings to decorate, story time, lots of music and dance performances, and of course, beautiful lights to look at! Parking wasn't bad and we even got a DQ blizzard on the way home, just for fun! 

Is our 2 1/2 month old teething?!?!?!?!

So last night we fed Caidyn, changed her diaper, and were watching the Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting. The makings for a perfect December evening. 

Except Caidyn was drooling up a storm and would occasionaly go from this face

to her happiest face

and back and forth. I posted a little GIF type video on my Google+ wall about it!  

What is going on?!?! We felt around and felt a little bump on her upper gums a little to the left of center... but could she really be teething??!?!?!?!!!!! I'm breastfeeding and OH SO NOT ready for that! Eek! 

Caidyn rolled over... sort of

Well... sort of. Caidyn rolled from her side to her belly - which I think is hard because she has to move her arm!

I'm so proud of her. And I realize it is totally cliche` mom to be proud of someone for rolling halfway over. I don't even care one bit :)
