Kaitlyn is officially walking! She still prefers to crawl if she needs to get there fast but...she is walking. She does pretty well when she has something in both hands or is trying to get something. It's really cute when she just wanders around the house checking things out from her new stand point. The farthest she has gone is about 13 steps but she will stand up in the middle of the room and just walk away. I'm so proud of my little girl.
On a side note, Kaitlyn is doing really well playing by herself. She will play in her "play room/area" alone without freaking out and screaming until you go sit with her. She is growing up so fast. She knows how to work her ball popper, how to turn it on and that the balls have to go back in it. She is too funny!
Growing every day...

A mind of her own
Kaitlyn really has a mind of her own. Not only does she tell you Uh-oh when she drops something or is doing something she shouldn't be, she has started to tell you Nah. Currently it's her word of choice, I can't tell if she actually is trying to say no but if you ask her "Kaitlyn come here" Nah, "Kaitlyn let go" Nah. It's pretty funny.
She has also started holding on! For example she loves to get my keys out of my purse and when I try to take them from her she will hold them down in her lap and won't let go. Sometimes she will tell me Nah. She gets really upset when you take it from her. She is a trip!
I don't know when you would actually say this is Kaitlyn First word....she has said a couple of things but hasn't really repeated them as if she really knew what she was saying. She has been babbling since she was about 6 months old and will string syllables together but I don't know if you could really could any of that as saying DaDa or Dad because she doesn't repeat it.
Things Kaitlyn has said -
DaDa
Dad
PopPop
Ma
Mom
Uh-Oh
Cat
Kate
Ba Ba (then grabbed her bottle - she only did this once)
Hi
Nah
Neeno (she said it today twice clear as day, when I tried to get her to go it later she wouldn't)
My
This (Dis)
Yes (yesh)
Yuck (uck)
I would say her real first word and knowing what it means is Uh-oh. Though I am sure that Shaun would argue her first word is DaDa.

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!
