All Smiles

This week has been an exciting one. Stan left Sunday night to work in VA for the week, so Tracy and Casey were left to figure it out on their own!
Casey has started smiling more this week. She'll actually look you in the eye and if you're smiling and talking to her she'll stare at you and then give you a big ol' grin. It's really cute. I've tried to get it on camera, but haven't had any luck...maybe next week when I have some assistance. She is also more aware of her hands and things around her. She'll follow your face if you move around and she's been looking at her animals in her bouncy seat. I just got a playyard for her and today she laid on it and stared at the butterflies.
Casey also started a bottle last Thursday while Dad was home. She seemed to take it pretty well. I guess if there is food in it, she's happy. She ate about 1.5 oz the first night, then about 3 Friday night.
Saturday morning we went to Aspen to visit our friends Ken and Stacy who are due to have a baby boy on July 7th. Phillip and Emily joined us for lunch. We then headed back to our house to meet up with Geoff, Sarah and Kaelin (1 1/2) and Steve, Stacia, Edan and Olivia (Stacia's daughters). Edan made Casey a cute purple knit hat. So cute. This was the first of many Ward house partys for Casey. She was a trooper. Slept like a baby!
Wednesday, Tracy and Casey headed to Denver to visit with family friends Terri, Dave, Andra and her 2 kids, Ali and Jack (2 1/2 and 6 months).
Other than that we've just been packing for the beach! We leave tomorrow...Casey's first plane ride. Hopefully all will go smoothly. We'll update from Emerald Isle, NC.
Happy 30th Birthday to Aunt Kel today!! See you in a week! Safe travels.

A little unsure at first, but she figured it out.
