Take a seat!


This week Caitlin started sitting on her own for longer periods of time. Although we still stay close by just in case she tips over to one side, for the most part she's sitting and balancing all by herself. She has started playing with toys now more as well. From books and toys that make noise when she squeezes them to the laptop she's playing with in the pictures, she definitely got more interactive with things this week.
She is also getting closer to being mobile. When we place her on her stomach now she actually lifts herself up with her arms almost like she's doing a push-up. She is now rolling over quite a lot if we lay her down and if we hold her standing up, she even has started taking steps! She's a ways off from walking on her own but she's definitely heading in that direction. Looks like we're going to have to start baby proofing the house within the next couple of weeks!
As for eating, Caitlin definitely does not like the baby food. Any time she sees the orange vegetables she'll start gagging and has even spit up once before even eating any of them. We've been able to get her to eat her rice cereal only when we place the bowl of it next to our food so she thinks she's eating what we're eating! Today we took Caitlin to see Nana Bev and Grampa Bob for lunch. We had a nice visit and we were able to get Caitlin to eat at the table because she thought she was eating what we were eating. :)
This week should go pretty fast. We are supposed to close on our house tomorrow but the bank seems to be dragging their feet so I'm not sure if it'll actually happen tomorrow or not. Hopefully by the end of the week it'll be done though. Hope everyone has a great week!
