Growing and Learning

Caitlin will be 7 months old this week. It's so hard to believe!! She is just growing so fast! She is also learning a lot of stuff. We are working with her to add some consanants to her vocabulary. So far all she really says is "ahhh" and "hiiiii". We are ready to hear a mama or a dada! :) She is also figuring out how crawling works, but she's still a ways from doing it right. She goes from a sitting position into a crawling position, but then she falls down on her tummy and gets stuck. Then she gets mad! It won't be long and she'll figure out that she needs to stay up on her hands and knees in order to actually get somewhere. We were at Aunt Marilyn's this weekend and she has a baby tree swing outside. Boy did Caitlin like that. I think she will like to go on the roller coasters with her Daddy. That is good, then Mommy won't have to go!! I got an email from my cousin Cindy (Hi Cindy!) and she said that her daughter, Ashley, has had a case of the 'fake coughs'. Hmmm.. Caitlin has those too. I wonder where they picked those up? *coughcough* I'm sick, pay attention to me! They're so darn cute!

We still have lots of hummingbirds around here. Caitlin loves to watch them when they come up to the door. She sits in her high chair and watches them sit on the feeder on the door. They are really fun to watch.

Grandpa and LaLa came to visit yesterday. Caitlin had a good time seeing them. I think she will be worn out today from seeing 2 sets of grandparents this weekend. We went out to our new house yesterday to check it out. The heating units are all installed and so are the 3 hot water heaters (3!)! All the bathrooms have bathtubs too. They are really making some progress! They also cleared the path down to the lake, but it was muddy so we weren't able to walk down there. We are looking foward to doing that sometime this week.

That's all for now.. the fake coughs are calling me. HA! :)
