Crawling for a Cure!

Kaitlyn's first Relay For Life...

Hi,

You may have seen me at a Relay meeting or two, that is because my daddy works for the American Cancer Society. I sometimes go to the Relay meetings and I learn lots of things about the fight against cancer. I also get inspired to be just like the kids on the committee when I grow up!

In the mean time I can FIGHT BACK against cancer by asking you to make a donation. I mean really, how can you say no to me:-)

If you make a donation of $20 or more I will send you an autographed picture of myself, and yes before you ask I'm pretty handy with a crayon!

It is because of the work that my daddy and all the other ACS staff and volunteers do that more people will STAY WELL and GET WELL.

I know we will FIND A CURE in my lifetime, especially with your help! I want to make sure I don't loose any family to this awful disease!

Thank you for any help you can provide, even if all you do is share my message!

Look for me on the University of Delaware Relay For Life Committee in 2027!

Love,
Kaitlyn

Uh-oh, Clapping, High Five, Peek a Boo and Waving

So many new things this week!

Monday Kaitlyn threw her paci out of her crib as Shaun walked into the room. He looked at her and said "uh-oh". Kaitlyn said "Ah - ah" with the correct inflection so it sounded like uh-oh. It was so cute. We have been saying it to her all week and now it's really starting to sound like Uh-Oh. She drops something or gets into something she knows shes not supposed to and she says Uh-oh!

Kaitlyn really figured out clapping this week. She will clap for anything!!!!

We are still working on this one but at the moment, when you say High Five Kaitlyn will reach over and touch your hand. It really makes her laugh when you make a noise and move toward her hand. It's getting there!

Peek a boo...Kaitlyn has gotten to the point where she will pick up a blanket and hold it in front of her. She waits for you to say "Where's Kaitlyn?" and then she puts the blanket down and just SMILES. Then the blanket goes up again! Sometimes I think its more about her arms being up in the air because sometimes you can see her behind the blanket or toy she is holding up. Huge smile and all!

We are really getting somewhere with waving now! She is doing the open and close hand but it faces her, like she's waving at herself. I think that all kids do that. Either way it's really cute when she waves hello or goodbye!

Cruising

Kaitlyn is cruising. She is doing very well moving around her crib, along tables and couches, in her play room etc when holding on. She is really funny sometimes.

Today she has been standing up on her own for the first time and letting go of what she was holding on to. She does really well at catching her balance and staying on her feet.

While this new stage is pretty neat and fun to watch it has caused alot more falling down and knocking of head into various objects. Poor little girl!



** Side Note - We have the location for Kaitlyn's Birthday Party! Whoo hoo **

Happpy Easter

Happy Easter!!

Check out Kaitlyn's haul! The Easter Bunny spoiled a certain little girl that I know!

Kaitlyn got her wobbly penguin, her busy ball blower, giant sheep, and her basket with puffs, curls and biscuits, bug teether, giraffe animal blanket, hair clips and lots of bath toys.

Check out her face when she was looking at the basket. Too funny, it was almost like she was saying "all of this is for me"?? HA!

After all of the fun playing with the new toys both downstairs and in the bath tub. We went to Mommom & Poppop's for Easter Dinner with family. Lot's of Love for Kaitlyn on her first easter.
