What's new with Katelyn?

9 months and 1 week old
Here is the latest update on Katelyn: She now easily pulls herself up on anything. She can also walk while holding on to something. She loves to crawl all over the place and explore every inch of her surroundings. She especially likes crawling under and over things (everything is one big jungle gym to her).

She still says DaDa and BaBa repeatedly and sometimes a sound that resembles "Hi", but today was the first time I also heard what sounded like MaMa ... it's about time Katelyn :) I am not sure if it will become a regular thing yet ...but it was definitely wonderful to hear!!

It is also amusing to watch her play. She clearly has favorite toys. She digs through her boxes of toys, tossing the ones that she doesn't care for to the side, until she gets to the one that she was looking for. It is amazing to watch her develop and literally everyday there is something new she does or that she discovers.

Katelyn can also tell us, non verbally, that she wants "Up". She will come over to us, pull herself up on our legs and reach her arms up...letting us know she wants to be picked up. This I find to be too cute for words. She is growing up way too fast...It seems like just yesterday we were waiting to see when she would roll over for the first time and now she is on the verge of walking...

Here are some random video clips of Katelyn in action:









These are just some recent pictures of Katelyn looking cute...










Is this baby up to something or what? Check out that mischievous grin!
