Meet the Caterpillar

I'm sure you've wondered where my blog and Etsy shop name came from and, 'who exactly is The Caterpillar?'.


On March 23rd, at 11:22pm, we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. As a newborn, we would swaddle her in a leafy-patterened swaddle, which gave her a striking resemblance to a friendly green caterpillar. In the beginning, she was only referred to as 'The Caterpillar' when she was swaddled and ready for bed, but the nickname grew on us and we became affectionately attached to it.

Well, today she is 4 months old and I'm proud to say we've made it through another month of parenthood. This month she learned to babble, had a growth spurt, and had several crazy crying episodes. She also visited the Minnesota Zoo, took her first road trip (5 hrs to SD), attended 2 showers for other babies, learned laundry baskets make great playpens, and spent 5 hours with Aunt C while mommy and daddy attended a Twins game!

Here are some photos from our 4th month as a family:
