Kaitlyn Playing in the Yard

Kaitlyn at the Zoo

Here is Kaitlyn and Daddy getting ready to go into the zoo.Here is Kaitlyn looking at the sea lions in amazement. She enjoyed the zoo - her favorite part was watching the other kids run around. She also got pretty excited to see the robins sitting in the grass in a "non-exibit" area. Kaitlyn is very much into birds and bunnies.

Kaitlyn's 1st Garden

Here is a picture of Kaitlyn helping us put the garden in...and then a picture of her relaxing in the shade after a morning of hard work.

Birthday Girl

Kaitlyn's 1st Birthday

Kaitlyn got some new toys for her birthday. She was very excited to play with them out in the yard. It was so warm on her birthday that we had to have an outfit change after dinner...slightly different weather than the day she was born!

Kaitlyn the Cat Lover

Dusty allows her do this, but not for very long before she gets up and looks for shelter. Then Kaitlyn chases her around the house for a while until the cat decides she's had enough and goes under the bed.

Kaitlyn is going to be a year old in 13 days! Where has the time gone? She has 2 teeth on the bottom and 4 coming in on the top. She is eating everything we eat, but we still have to grind it up...well some things, like meat...she will keep a piece of meat in her mouth all night and never swallow it. I hope she doesn't take after my cousin Sarah!! She's not saying sentences, but she says things like mama, dada, bye bye, uh oh, hello, and various other random things. She babbles quite a bit. She likes to hold her cell phone up to her ear and "talk" to people. She's quite the little entertainer...actually, she entertains herself quite nicely. If she ever gets into her room she will go right over to the dresser, open the drawers, and start throwing all the clothes on the floor. It's a clothing thing, because when she helps me fold the laundry she does the same thing. She could be strangely content playing with pajamas, a onesie, or some socks. Her new thing is to strip down to her diaper during nap time. Obviously, I will be safeguarding against messes that no one likes to clean up by making sure she is wearing a onesie during nap time. I'm sure she'll figure out how to take it off at some point, but it might buy be a few months!

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...
