May 23- we took kaitlyne to the doctor today for her 9 month checkup. She weighs 20 1/4 lbs. and is 27 1/2 inches long. The doctor said that she looked great and said that we have done a great job as parents :) Of course that made Michael and I feel really good! The Dr. said that Kaitlyne could start eating table foods even though she doesn't have any teeth yet. So, for lunch we cut up some mac and cheese and she had a couple bites...mostly for practice :) She is sooo cute! Tonight we let her crawl around on the kitchen floor and we gave her a plastic bowl to play with...she proceeded to pick it up with her feet and transfer it to her hands!!!

May 22- kaitlyne played on the floor a lot today and wanted me to hold her a lot. I held her while she took a really long nap until daddy came home :)

May 21- Michael and I went to Barnes and Noble tonight to look at some photography books. We put Kaitlyne in the stroller and she started running her mouth back and forth on the cup holder part...can you say "teething!" It was so cute though! She was making noises and just shaking her little head back and forth.
