8 Months Old! (A little late)

Kaitlyn turned 8 months old on June 22nd. She is growing up before our eyes. Just about two weeks ago, she started learning how to "army crawl," and has gotten pretty quick. She's now fast enough to make child-proofing necessary. I tried forever to get a video on here, but can't get it to work; oh well. She is now getting up on her hands and knees and rocking, and is now attempting to move a knee forward. Yep, we're in for it. Could be a day, could be a month, but we're definitely in for it.

Kaitlyn's current interests:

1. Cords, cords, and more cords. If there's one anywhere in the house, she'll find it.
2. Riley's ball.
3. Remote controls and cell phones.
4. Yelling. Loudly. And she likes it even better if you yell back.
5. Screeching.
6. Yogurt melts and Puffs. She gets beside herself when she sees the container.
7. Any fruit or veggie puree (although I think sweet potatoes are her favorite). She loves her food!
8. Getting Riley to bark by fake crying (he barks when she cries. Most.annoying.thing.ever.). Little stinker.
9. Saying "Mama," although I don't think she knows yet who mama is. :)
10. Saying "baba."
11. Pulling herself up onto her knees in her crib.
12. Playing with her lips to make sounds.
13. Pulling herself to standing with help (not on her own yet).
14. Gymboree Play and Learn! We went yesterday and she LOVED it! We did a free trial class - don't think we'll be able to do more because it's too expensive, but I'll have to find an alternative because it was so cute. :)

Here are some pics:

I propped her up for this one :)
Experiementing on her knees:


I was out of the room for 30 seconds, and I come back to this. She has SO many toys, but Riley's are much more interesting.
Kaitlyn got to watch her daddy play softball last night. This will be the first of many, I'm sure.
