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!

I used to wear my Dad's shoes all the time and have a couple pics that look rather similar to this one :) Sounds like she is learning more and more everyday. I wish I could see her! Hope everything is going well and I miss you guys a lot!!
