Kaitlyn is growing up in so many ways. Singing, clapping, talking (at least saying MaMa :-). It's so fun to watch her make her way through the syllables. She'll spend a couple of days on whatever one she is working on and then move on to the next one. She talks all day long so it's easy to figure out which one she is trying to master!

Andrew is also growing a ton. Here he is helping me clean the shower (with a vinegar and water mix). He was really excited to tell daddy that he cleaned the shower for him when he got home from work. When Andrew is relaxed and comfortable he is hilarious, full of life and energy, and loves playing. In new situations, though, he pulls way back and just watches. I'm realizing how important it is to get him into very small group settings in a very familiar and comfortable environment so that he can develop friendships and learn how to play with others. Today he and his buddy Caleb sat up on his train table and played trains...they are both way developed verbally and were even having little conversations. It made my heart happy!

It's going to be hard for this girl to grow up in our house without a love for balls. We've already got her started :-)
