Other Christmas Portraits

These are the two other pictures mom took of Catelynn that didn't make the cut for the Christmas card. Ken said she looks too sneaky. I say she looks exactly like the mischevious little monkey that she is ;)

Christmas Cracker Bandit

When we weren't looking Catelynn discovered how much fun it is to tear Christmas crackers apart. She especially liked the paper crowns.

First Haircut

It was time for Catelynn's first official haircut. She cried at first but we think the results were definitely worth it.

Thanksgiving In Milford

This year we went to Grandma and Grandpa Shirley's house for Thanksgiving again. We've started a new tradition of going down to the beach for pictures. Last year we got a beautiful sunset and a very quiet Catelynn smiling at her Daddy. When you look at these you can see that Catelynn is definitely MUCH more active now :)

Second Thanksgiving Parade

We went back to the UBS Thanjsgiving Parade in Stamford. Unfortunately, Catelynn had just began to enter into her shy phase. The loud bands really scared her. But I think it was all worth it when she got to see a giant balloon of her favorite character - Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House!

Mommy and Me

Catelynn even stayed still long enough for Mommy to get into a picture or two. And then she was off and running to the other side of the pond.

Autumn Leaves

With all the warm weather we had this fall we were beginning to think we would never see the leaves change colors. It was quite an adventure trying to keep Catelynn from jumping into the pond. Catelynn always has a good time outside. She's quite the nature girl.
