Me and my Daddy when we first go to Ren Fest...I wasn't quite sure what to think at first.

*Mommy's thoughts: Look at her and her daddy - both holding their drinks and having a conversation in the garden! Wow, what an awesome thing to see - Daddy and His Little Girl!*

Look, Daddy!

This rose garden is a little like Big Mamma's. These are such pretty flowers and they smell good too!

WOW! We just witnessed those people get engaged!

I'm a little scared...I just heard a loud BOOM! I think someone was shooting off a canon!

Some people we saw there...Not quite sure about them...

GO ASTROS!!!

October 23, 2005 - Finally, An Update!!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back on here...for a while it wouldn't let me post anymore pics and I was keeping busy at night instead of blogging...

I've got so much to update you on since October 7th!

I did not get a chance to post anything for Chris's birthday (October 8th), so I've put a picture below that I hope will bring a smile to his face (even if it's a little late).

Also, since I've last blogged, our ASTROS have made it to the World Series and are winning Game 2 right now...YEAH ASTROS!!

Now, onto what you really care about!! :) Just kidding!...

Caitlin's new words, etc.:

1) Said "knee" after hurting her knee and coming to her Daddy to put a band aid on it
2) Said "thank you" at Big Mamma's
3) Can catch a football when her Daddy throws it to her
4) Turns circles until she's dizzy
5) Said "nada" to Big Mamma (means "nothing" in Spanish) when Martha asked Caitlin what she wanted (in Spanish)
6) Can point and click the mouse on my computer to look pictures/movies of herself. Now she's obsessed...she has to watch "babies" on the computer at least once a day!
7) Said "big" to Big Mamma
8) Said "mine" to Mommy
9) Said "eye" to Mommy and Daddy
10) Said "come over here" to Missy
11) If we say "dare devil" to her at home, she gets on her tricycle and does "stunts" on it! She stands on the seat with one leg up in the air behind her and with one hand or no hands on the handle bars!! Like a baby Evil Knievel!! Eeeek!
12) Said "all done" to Marisa when she was done coloring at Taylor's house
13) Can finally do "fish lips" with Mommy!
14) I think she recognized that Caitlin = Baby in the mirror
15) Made Kool-Aid with Daddy and learned how to lick finger and dip into the sugar to taste it
16) If you tell Caitlin to smile, she'll smile the fakest smile (with all her teeth showing), but it is the cutest thing you've ever seen!
17) After Martha asked her "Caitlin, how are you?" She replied "How are you?"
18) Said "Hi There" to Missy
19) After Manuel was reading a book to Caitlin and pointed to and said "That's a cat" Caitlin replied very matter-of-factly "Oh Yeah!"
20) Caitlin can point to any animal in books if asked
21) Said "please" to Grandpa when she wanted more yogurt
22) Says "BB" for band aid and she pretty much wants a BB every single day (even if she has no booboo)!

So, as you can see, we've been PRETTY busy!
Our little book worm is so grown up already and she's only almost 17 months old!!

Well, enjoy your Sunday evening, the World Series, and this beautiful chilly weather we are starting to have!

We love and miss you,
Amanda & Family

P.S. I've posted only a few pics out of each set that I've taken since October 6th. I've taken about 100 pics since then. If you'd like copies of the others, I'll email them to you separately. Thank you!

October 6, 2005 - The Hoyt Family Update

Hi Everyone,

Hope your week has been good so far. We're looking forward to this cold front that's supposed to roll in tonight and tomorrow. We hope you all enjoy this weekend.

Some updates in the Hoyt family include:

1) Caitlin said "bread" to me while eating a slice
2) Caitlin said "again" to Grandpa when she wanted to slide again at the park
3) Caitlin said "button" while taking a bath and asking me to turn on the whirlpool
4) **Amazing***Caitlin can tell you the VOWELS in both English and Spanish!! Martha, Missy and Chris have all been working with Caitlin on saying A-E-I-O-U. I didn't believe that she could do it and this morning after she got out of bed, I asked her to tell Mamma her vowels and she said, "AEIOU" in Spanish!! So amazing!!
5) Caitlin said "go outside" to Chris after they walked outside tonight.

Our little girl is almost racing to become a big girl (it seems). So grownup, and always topping herself when I can't even believe she's 16 months already! She's still very loving and loves to kiss and hug us and her "babies."

Today, Big Mamma took Caitlin and Taylor to her pool in the back. The girls had fun playing in the "agua" and Marisa took some of the pictures below. So cute!

Also, enjoy the pictures I took on the night of the 3rd and the 4th.

Have a great Friday, Everyone!

Love,
Amanda

P.S. Chris, I know you're reading this right now (on October 7th, 2005) and I want to wish you a Happy 5th Anniversary! I love you so much and hope that you are having a good day. I am so glad I married you 5 years ago and can't wait to make 50 years more memories with you! You are my life and my love.
Forever yours,
Amanda

Laughing with Daddy


She was having the best time jumping up and down in that Excersaucer - and cracking herself up!


Caitlin playing in her Excersaucer (yes, she still fits into it) and looking as if she's asking me, "Who you looking at?!"
