Family Date Night, Cousins at the Park and Standing Up

This past week we have done a ton of fun things. On Saturday night we planned a family date night for the 3 of us. We took Kaitlyn swimming for the first time. At first she just kind of sat in our arms as we went around the pool. Then, she started kicking and splashing in the water. She absolutely loved it. After swimming we went out to eat and then got home in time for bedtime.

On Monday of this week we took Kaitlyn to the park. My brother is in town with his family, so we took their daughter Kyla to the park also. Kyla didn't love the swing too much if you went too high or fast, but Kaitlyn seemed to enjoy it. I think the park days will get more fun as they get older and can move around more on their own.

This morning Kaitlyn got up at her usual time around 8am. Sad not to talk her into sleeping in, Steve and I got up and played with her. She has been trying for about a week or so now to pull herself up, but has been unsuccessful. This morning she was able to do it twice! I can't believe that she is already pulling herself up. Now we just need to help her master crawling. She can't quite seem to get the coordination and so gets frustrated and goes back to scooting. YEAH FOR KAITLYN!
