Welcome to the Cutforth Family Blog. This blog provides insight into the lives of Dave, Shawnna and Kaitlyn Cutforth. Of course, since Kaitlyn is the newest (and cutest) member of our family, most of the focus is on her development and the fun things we do as parents.

8 months old

Today, Kaitlyn is 2/3 of a year old! She is as mobile as she can be without crawling. She can pivot and roll where she wants to go - usually somewhere we don't want her to be (wine rack, electronics under the TV, stack of magazines under the coffee table, etc.). Needless to say, we still have some baby proofing to do before she starts to crawl.

She has become very vocal and certainly has a healthy set of lungs which she displays with a high pitched screech whenever her heart desires (see video below). She also enjoys practicing her ba-ba's, da-da's and other combinations of sounds which I don't know how to spell. She is a great sleeper. She typically sleeps 11 hours at night (8pm - 7am) and wakes up making the aforementioned sounds which is our cue that the day has begun. Oh yeah, she also likes to read and isn't happy when she's interrupted in the middle of a chapter (see picture below ;-)

So the screetching is for her equilibrium (please forgive the spelling) and Halina did the rolling thing before crawling. It was pretty cute when we were at a Super Bowl party - that's how she got around and greeted everyone!

She is absolutely adorable! And we need to get together soon!
