Mangia!!

9 Months Old

I can't believe our little Kaitlyn is already 9 months old! She finally cut her first tooth on January 9th...the baby sitter was very pleased with that. She is cruising around crawling and she's finally sitting up (she crawled before she sat up on her own). Her new thing is to pull herself up on the furniture and the baby gates. We went to the doctor today and found out that she's 15 and a half pounds and 28 and a quarter inches long. She's in the 75th percentile for height and 5th percentile for weight...long and lean. She is starting to eat table food, but she won't put it in her mouth on her own...she is more interested in playing with it on the tray. I'm sure she will leave Florida with some stellar eating skills...

Kaitlyn at the Mall of America

Kaitlyn is crawling now. She started off inching her way forward using her arms to pull herself along. She is now on her hands and knees moving along pretty good. Although, when she wants to get somewhere fast she reverts back to the old standby inchworm move. She is also starting to stand up and pull herself up on things. We found her standing in her crib a few days ago and every day since then when she wakes up from sleeping. She is a joy to have around. She is almost always in a good mood and smiling. She makes us laugh quite often. I wouldn't be surprised if she's walking by the time we vist Nanna and Pappa in Florida next month.
