At 10 months, Kaitlynn is:
- Saying a few more words. The cutest is when she will drop something and say "Uh-oh". She also says "Ma Ma", "Da Da", and "Ba Ba" (for her bottle).
- Turning towards Jeff when you ask her "Where is Da Da?" She also does that for Ma Ma and Connor. She gets a little confused between Collin and Kevin!
- Clapping all the time. She will clap spontaneously when she's happy and also when we say "Yaaaay!" This is one of my favorite new tricks...seeing those chubby little hands smack together -- so sweet!
- Still waving at everyone, and now her waves usually face the right direction.
- Pulling up on everything. She has also started to let go once she's standing up, and she'll stand there a second or two until she loses balance and falls back down.
- Pointing at things. The other day I was feeding her lunch while the TV was off (it's usually on) and she pointed towards the TV as if to say, "Uh, Mommy, could you please turn that on?"
- Starting to "cruise" by holding on to things and then taking steps sideways.
- Playing so well both independently and with other kids. She loves exploring all the toys in the playroom, and she's also been really enjoying the play areas at our local malls and parks.
- Starting to dance a little bit when she hears music.
- Eating pretty much what we eat. I'm still trying to clear out some of the baby food jars in our pantry, but she usually turns her nose up at that stuff.
- Giggling at Connor often. He apparently cracks her up.
- Working hard to get attention from strangers. She will wave at them, smile, or simply stare them down so they'll look at her.
Here's Connor and Kaitlynn in their Easter outfits.
Kaitlynn at one of the indoor mall play areas.
Another play area. She saw those little window holes and crawled right through them!
Here she is getting pushed by Connor in the swing. Loved it!
And this is a terrible picture with my phone, but the smile is so precious. I am seeing so many of these toothy grins these days and I love it!
I love the purple Easter outfits!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's official. Baby girl is growing up. She's beginning to do so many things that a big girl does. Exploring the play area, eating table food, pointing at what she wants, putting words and objects together... How on earth has it gone by this quickly? Lauri - in just two short months she will be a year old. A YEAR OLD!! And even just in this last month she's doing so much more than when you were here a month ago. Wow!
ReplyDeleteK is such a precious girl. Good natured, sweet and smart. I wish I could be there to give her a good squeeze. Love you!
I love her sweet smile and love all the rolls in her arms. That picture in her highchair is so cute! Love those arms!
ReplyDeleteShe is doing so much and getting SO big! Aren't you just loving her age. I think between 6-12 months is just the best! They are doing and learing so much, it's just amazing! I'm so glad you guys are enjoying your special bundle so much. Looks like she will be walking in no time. I can't wait to see pictures of that.
And that sweet Connor is such a good big brother! His little smile is just so sweet in the picture with her. He's so proud of his baby girl!
Love the lavender Easter outfits - adorable! Connor is getting so big too!
ReplyDeleteKaitlynn is such a joy - I love seeing all of the things she is doing! She'll be a year before we know it!
What a big girl. And I'm SO excited for you that she is into the food you guys are eating. Hopefully that means that she is going to be a good eater. :-)
