Caitlin turned 10 months old June 1! It has been a busy month for us!
Caitlin has developed an even greater love for books (if that seems possible)! She crawls right over to her book bin in the living room and picks out all of the books to flip through. When she finds one she especially likes she will bring it to us so we will read it to her. She is adorable and we love her fascination with the books – although sometimes she will ask us to read the same book 10 times in a row! We now have Bathtime Peekaboo and Five Silly Monkeys memorized - to name a few! One of her favorites is called "Bubbles Bubbles" which she refers to as "Bub Bub". Too cute!
Caitlin had her first swim in her kiddie pool! She had a blast – she loved feeling the water rush over her hands as she pushed down on the edge. She was clapping her hands under water and loving the splashing! This inspired us to start her "swim" lessons – which are really "float" lessons through ISR (infant swim resource – infantswim.com). So far she has had one week of lessons. She is working on floating and rolling from front to back. She is not a fan of the floating and cries during that part of the lesson – but I can see that she is making progress. The cutest thing about the lessons is that she likes to sit on the sidelines and clap for the other kids while they do their lesson!
Last week we went to "My Kids Gym" where they have tons of kids toys and obstacle courses. She got to crawl around, climb on things, try out new big kid toys, and pull up on everything. What an adventure! It was a fun outing for her and tired her out!
Her favorite thing to do right now is to pull up to stand. She pulls up on the couch, ottoman, entertainment center, toys, bed, bathtub, Mommy, Daddy, etc. Pretty much anything she can get her hands on. She pulls herself up and stands there. Her biggest motivation is getting to the dogs and the shiny remote control! She is not cruising…. Yet!
We have moved into her big girl car seat now – this gives her a lot more room in the car and hopefully makes traveling more comfortable for her. We traveled two weekends this month – first to visit Caitlin's Great Grandpa for his 80th Birthday party in Sebring and second to visit her Grandma who is retiring this year from teaching at Holy Cross Lutheran School. Both were fun trips that brought enjoyment for all of us!
Caitlin got her third bottom tooth this month – no teeth on the top yet. We are continuing to introduce her to more "people food". She likes the turkey and mashed potatoes from Mimi's Café as well as the biscuits from Cracker Barrel (after I cut them up of course)! She also likes noodles, and frozen carrots. I think Thanksgiving came too early for her – she would have a field day now!
