Family Fun

We had such a great time visiting my family. Caitlyn absolutely loved meeting her aunts, uncles, cousins and great-grandparents. She got to celebrate a graduation, a wedding, two birthdays and Easter all crammed into her 4 day Utah trip. She did AMAZING on the flights. The flight to Denver was a morning flight and she was an absolute angel and didn't cry once. The flight home to Tampa was an evening flight and she did pretty well. She had a mini meltdown with about an hour left because she was tired and couldn't get comfortable enough to fall asleep. Luckily there was a couple sitting next to us that had a baby a week younger than Caitlyn that they had left home with her grandmother so they enjoyed every second of having Caitlyn next to them...even the meltdown :)

Besides meeting her family Caitlyn learned a lot of new things while she was in Nebraska and Utah.
* she learned she can sit in her carseat for longer than 30 minutes before needing out (comes in handy on 12 hour drives).
* she learned to eat her rice cereal a little bit better as long as Grandma Marshall is the one feeding her.
* she learned what snow was and what it means to be cold.
* she learned how fun Grandpa's cuckoo clock is.
* she learned to roll back over onto her back.
* she learned that sucking her toes is even more fun than sucking her thumbs.
* she learned when someone new picks her up and smiles at her to just go with it and smile back.
* she learned if she plays her cards just right she can get pretty much anything she wants from Grandma Marshall, including a suck of licorice.
* she learned what it means to be a princess.
