The months are moving faster and faster and I can hardly keep up with these monthly updates! Caitlin is continuing to grow and learn and laugh and play and run ALL over the place. She does not sit still and I am having trouble taking any pictures, much less any that truly capture Caitlin and her fun personality. Maybe I should switch to video for the next few months... :)
Still no teeth yet, but she does love brushing her non-existent ones! She thinks she is such a big girl standing on her stool in the bathroom and copying mommy and daddy... either that or she just loves the taste of her bubblegum flavored toothpaste :) Every month, we think that this will be the month that we will start weaning Caitlin off of her paci- but then every month without teeth, I think that it is cruel to take it away and not give her comfort if her gums are hurting!
Caitlin is so curious... about everything! Her favorite question is still "what's that?" She loves touching things she's not supposed to, opening any cabinet that she can get into, pulling drawers open, and "tasting" all types of things- sand, lotions, bubbles, dirt, leaves, any toys that look interesting... I have not officially seen her put a bug in her mouth, but I have seen her spit something out that looked suspiciously bug-ish- YUCK!
As much as Caitlin is moving, there are times where she will take a step back from whatever is going on and just watch. You can see her observing and taking it all in and soaking it all up like a little sponge. I am so looking forward to the day when she can tell me what she's thinking about!
As usual, Caitlin is running! Come and get me, Daddy!
My fearless little girl loves being thrown in the air, swung in the air, twirled around, spun round and round until she falls down dizzy. She has just learned ring around the rosies and loves getting the whole family to do it with her... over and over... and over :)
Daddy is hands down the best twirler, swinger, spinner... Mommy just can't compete!
While Caitlin is well on her way to toddlerhood, there are still a few glimpses of the cuddly, snuggly baby that she was just a short time ago. My favorite time of the day with her is right when she wakes up in the morning- we go downstairs and get some juice and cuddle on the couch for about a half hour while we both take our time gearing up for the day ahead.
Caitlin, we love you more and more each day!!
