Katelyn Cruising At Grammy And Poppy's House

What Is Katelyn Doing Now?

Katelyn is developing such a little personality. She is so friendly and has a great sense of humor. Sometimes she will just look at something and crack up and we're like 'Katelyn share the joke.' We have no idea what she finds so funny, but it makes us laugh anyway. Whenever we laugh at something she imitates us and laughs too. So hysterical!

She is talking up a storm. We don't really understand most of what she says, but it is fun to try and figure it out. She is saying a good handful of words off and on. Here is a list of some of the ones I have recorded so far.

Ma Ma(still not very often)
Da Da
Ba Ba(she uses this one for a lot of things)
Shu - Shoe (she pronounces it with a very hard Shhh sound)
Baby (referring to her baby doll)
Up - Cup
Cat
App - apple
Doh - dog

A lot of these words she actually said when we asked her to repeat them. It is so amazing to us when we ask her to say something like 'pear' and she tries to repeat it. She will be talking very soon! She understands a lot more words then she can actually say. We will say Katelyn 'where is your baby' and she goes straight to her baby doll or 'Katelyn give the baby her bottle' and she really tries to put the bottle in her mouth. So smart!

Let's see what else is Katelyn doing? She is cruising up and down the furniture and letting go some so walking is not too far behind. We were completely done with bottles and using only sippy cups now with whole milk, water, and a little juice for snack. She is eating all kinds of things. Some of her favorites are Puffs, Cheerios, any kind of bread or tortillas, pears, mac & cheese, shredded cheese, graham crackers, ritz, and many more.

Katelyn and I are also involved in a music class at church called Baby Songbirds. We have only been a couple of times, but already I can tell she loves it. She gets to click rhythm sticks together and play jingle bells and maracas. She has so much fun!

Katelyn now has 6 teeth. 4 coming in on the top and two very visible ones on the bottom. She likes to cut them two at a time it seems. I always know when she is cutting a tooth because she gets really fussy and she never acts like that normally.

Okay, I think that pretty much catches you up on what going in Katelyn's life right now. Hope you enjoyed the recap. God Bless!

Katelyn is laying on the floor like a big kid watching one of her favorite shows. How funny! You can really see her dimple in this picture.

Katelyn Acting Like A Doggy

I don't think she is intentionally pretending to be a dog, but she has seen Angel running around with toys in her mouth so who knows she might be imitating her. I have no idea what goes on in that mind of hers. Wish I could read her mind sometimes : )

Fun At Mikato

We went to Mikato to celebrate Ricky's birthday and Katelyn really enjoyed the atmosphere. She got a little tired of sitting in her highchair while we were waiting so we took turns carrying her around the restaurant. She really enjoyed watched the chefs and the fire that literally kept springing up all around us. She scarfed down some fried rice and a little chicken, steak and some zucchini. Yum Yum!

This picture would make more sense if Ricky was the one holding Katelyn since we were celebrating his birthday : )

Muffin Cup Anyone?

Katelyn rediscovered her muffin cups at Grammy and Poppy's house a couple of weeks ago and she still loves them. What a cheap, durable toy! I just bought them because she could chew on them and eventually stack them, but they have coaxed her to creep, crawl and cruise so far. If they work for potty training, I am writing a book about the wonder of these things : )

Pointing To Birthday Balloons

Katleyn just loves the two birthday balloons we still have floating in the kitchen. She points to them all the time. She even tried to say the word balloon a few times, but anytime we say "Katelyn where are the balloons?" she points right to them. It is so funny. She also looks for them when we are at other people's houses. I think we will have to have a Mylar balloon for every holiday/occasion now : )
