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.

Easter Weekend and Kaitlyn Plays the Piano

Now that Kaitlyn has mastered crawling, she has started to pull herself up on things. She likes to crawl down the hallway and pull herself up on a storage box where Shawnna keeps her scrapbooking supplies. She only gets to her knees, but that's the first step to standing up.

I was doing laundry Saturday morning and Kaitlyn crawled over to the laundry room where I was loading clothes into the dryer. I stood her up next to the dryer door and she held onto it and stood all by herself. She even let go with one hand for a few seconds and never lost her balance. Of course, I was right there just in case.

On Sunday, we went to Grandma & Grandpa Pride's house for Easter. The Easter Bunny had stopped by and left Kaitlyn some stuffed animals, a dress, a movie (101 Dalmatians), a book and formula (instead of candy). She had a lot of fun rolling around on the floor with Grandpa and playing "airplane." I think Grandpa is going to be stiff tomorrow. She was also quite literally the center of attention with everyone gathered around as she demonstrated her newly learned crawling ability.

On the weekends, Kaitlyn and I like to sit at the piano while she creates an original composition. Below is a video documenting the creative genius at work.
