Sorry, no new pictures as of late, I need to get some uploaded etc etc. Life has been pretty crazy around the Fitz house these past couple of weeks. But first--Caroline:
Her new favorite game is "Bet you can't stick your whole fist in your mouth". Although yesterday, she was all about "Bet you can't stick BOTH fists in your mouth". Although this is great as a soothing thing when her pacifier falls out, it makes her hands STINK. But everytime I try to get the the pacifier back in her mouth, she just spits it out and goes for her hand. Defiant already! After getting over her first little cold a couple weeks ago, I came down with a second cold in a month and of course, shared it with Caroline. She's a little sicker with this cold--congestion is back, and she has more of a cough this time, but she's still sleeping pretty well at night considering she's waking her self up by coughing every now and then. One of my tasks today is to get her humidifer going in her bedroom.
She's outgrowing her newborn clothes on a regular basis now, and I'm starting to pull her 3-6 month clothes off the top rail in the closet where we've been storing them for now. It's fun getting her into some new stuff, and Grandma Carol just sent a cute Valentine's Day outfit. Mark also picked up a St. Patty's Day outfit for her. Yea!
Speaking of, Daddy is in Denver this week, which totally sucks. He has a week-long work gig to learn some new computer language, so I'm Single Mom for now. I had a crazy day at work on Monday, but had yesterday off, and was going to go out snowboarding (we've been getting dumped on lately) but Caroline was just so cute and sweet yesterday morning that I couldn't bring myself to take her to daycare. So the two of us hung out all day and got to cuddle a ton, which was great. Not to mention it was nice for me to decompress after a super busy work week last week, and a busy weekend on call. Parents just kept calling and calling! This is part of the reason why I'm loathe to answer the phone once I come off of call--I've been answering it for days on end and just need a break!
So yeah, the house is pretty quiet with Mark gone, but it's nice to have Caroline with me--I always hated when Mark would have to go back to Chicago one week a month when we were living in Houston. It's nice to have another person in the house now. I have today off as well, and reluctantly put Caroline in daycare just because I have so much stuff that needs to get done--errands to run and stuff around the house. She was so cute again this morning--just ear-to-ear grins and she's so talkative now--making all kinds of new noises and making sure I know she's still there when I'm out of her eyesight.
OK, I need to get back to my list of stuff. And as a side note, YEA for Obama! He even won in North Dakota! I wanted to caucus last night, but I'm registered as an Independent, and only registered party members could participate. Boo.

Good to hear that you get some QT with Caroline! Hope your colds clear up quick!

Do you shudder a little bit when the phone rings when you are on call? I know I do...and I am not talking to parents about their kids. Must be like 87 times worse for you.
