We had another follow up appointment at MUSC last week. Our little princess is now 19.9 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. The Dr. tested some of Kaitlyn’s developmental milestones, and told us she is on track with her adjusted age (8 months). The Dr. tried to get Kaitlyn to clap some toys together, put her fingers in little holes on a block of wood, put toys in a cup, and a few more things. She didn’t really perform very well, but take note that her appointment was at 8:15am! Kaitlyn usually doesn’t wake up until 8-9:00. So needless to say, she was tired and grumpy and not in the mood to do “tricks.” Well as our little princess is with everything, the Dr. mentions things she should be doing and Kaitlyn starts doing it. Later that same day, August 25, she started army crawling. That same week she started babbling more, putting toys in a bowl, clapping toys together, and standing up more with assistance.
As Sean, aka Dad, mentioned in his post, Kaitlyn has 5 teeth coming in. Well this week we noticed she has another coming in on the top. So Kaitlyn has 6 teeth coming in at the same time, but has been pleasant through the whole experience. She’s getting better and better with pulling herself up to a standing position. She has no problem pulling up to her knees, and occasionally goes all the way up to standing. She gives kisses too! She smacks her lips together to give kisses, and has recently started giving open mouthed kisses. She is very loving. Everything else is the same. Kaitlyn is still eating well, mostly homemade food by Papito. Her favorite foods at the moment are Sweet Potatoes and Bananas & Blueberries, but loves all fruits!
Below are a few pictures from today. Enjoy!
