Pitching In Around the House

It's never too early to get them started on chores! ;)

So Innovative

Caitlin has some cute little mannerisms and habits I've finally caught on camera. So cute!

She loves to crawl up under the side table in the living room--it's perfect Caitlin-size!









I always get a kick out of her upside-down soother--it's one that's only shaped to "fit" right side up but she doesn't seem to take notice at all!







The other day I couldn't help but laugh as she squeezed herself under her toy to play with it from the "back side"! It must be so much funner that way, she's done it numerous times since-!

If the Shoes Fit...

Caitlin loves sticking her little fingers through the holes of our Crocs to tickle our feet whenever we have them on. Looks like she doesn't mind wearing them herself either!

In the last month she's started crawling everywhere at super speed, she can pull herself up on just about anything (and has had a few big crashes too--good thing this house is mostly carpeted!), she loves seeing her reflection wherever she can (her current fav is the fireplace doors which are right at her height), she knows how to sign, "more" and "please" and waves "Hi" and "Bye-bye" most of the time, a couple of times now without prompting. She loves going on walks and getting the mail at the end of our driveway with Mama or Papa. She laughs every time Papa does his looncall and it's cute to watch her mimic us as we sing action songs or raise our arms or make silly noises. Her favorite song right now is "Fuzzy Caterpillar" and singing it brings me right back to learning it in Germany while helping with the kids class there (and Chris' adorable spinning butterfly hands!). It's so sweet to see her picking up more and more and be able to interact more with her as she grows. She babbles and points will "Look!" when we tell her to. Overall she's a content little girl who loves the excitement of crowds and loves loves LOVES animals and making their sounds (she used to "roar" alot but recently it's more "meowing" and "ppppfppppfppp!!" (elephant)). Gotta love her!

What If My Parents Were From India?

I probably wouldn't have this blond hair and fair skin, that's for sure! (see more face morphing here.)
