In her walker at Grammy's house
Caitlin got another new experience at Grammy & Papa's house - going in a walker! She hasn't quite got the hang of it yet but she is working on it. When she gets really excited her legs kick and she moves just a little bit - and she can only move backwords! I anticipate having a little runner when we come back for Christmas!
Caitlin visiting Grammy & Papa's work
While we were down visiting for Thanksgiving Caitlin got to visit Grammy & Papa's work. The proud Grandparents had a great time showing her off!
My first taste of real food: mashed potatoes
Our pediatrician said that Caitlin could celebrate Thanksgiving with a small bite of mashed potatoes! This was her first taste of real food and her first experience with a spoon! She didn't seem to be a fan - she pushed it back out and made a face! Although I hear that all babies initially push food back out when first confronted with solids. This week the pediatrician gave the ok to start Caitlin eating Rice Cereal from a spoon and we will advance to veggies and fruit!

Tummy Time Pushups!
Caitiln has been getting so strong - she practically does pushups during her tummy time now!
A Laugh is worth a thousand words
Last night when I took Caitlin for our walk she gave me a great surprise -her first laugh! I was making our choo-choo train noise (chug a chug a chug a chug a meep meep) when at the end she gave me a little chuckle! What a sweet sound!

Caitlin's First Cold :(
Well, Caitlin and her mommy are both sick this weekend. Caitlin's nose is a little bit "soupy" - she sounds like a pug when she breathes. She has a really good attitude about it, though. She hasn't been fussy or unhappy. She's been a little more sleepy than normal but that's about it. What a trooper!

Caitlin's First Visit to UCF
I've been waiting for today for a long time. We finally decided to pack up and head out to UCF for the day. 
We used to live so close, it's interesting that it's a major undertaking now to make it all the way out there. Since we were in the area, we decided to call on some old friends. After a wonderful visit, we headed over to campus. It's really amazing how much it has changed. Kathy and I were discussing the fact that the kids starting at UCF now were in diapers when we were in High School! Some of these kids were born in 1990!
I've been so eager to take Caitlin to UCF and get some pictures. Our time there ended up being a bit rushed, but we didn't leave before we visited the major sites: The Administration building (had to take her to see the information booth), the Student Union, and the Computer Science building (where Kathy and I spent so much time)

Caitlin Videos on Youtube
We have been making lots of little short videos from our archive of camcorder footage. These definately won't win an Oscar, but they are fun little shorts. You can view them on Youtube. More are coming soon so keep checking!

Conversations, Part 2
Caitlin and I had another chat this afternoon. This time we got it on video. Check it out!
Conversation
I am convinced that Caitlin is on the verge of giggling. Yesterday I 
was sitting with her and she made a little noise so I made the same noise back to her. That got her attention! Soon she made another noise and I mirrored it. She was so happy! Our conversation continued on for quite a while. She definitely seemed happy to have someone responding to her little noises. She has babbled at the "baby in the mirror" on her changing table before but, to my knowledge, this is the first time she has made a noise for our benefit. She was having a great time, but I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it even more.

Learning to sit up by herself
Yesterday and today we have been practicing sitting up by ourself! Caitlin is able to sit up by herself for a minute or two. She even catches herself sometimes so she doesn't fall over! She really enjoys it! How exciting!
