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.

Turkey Day & Torker Play

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and we did the normal routine of having lunch with my family in San Jose and dinner with Shawnna's family in Fremont. We had a nice time visiting with our families and Kaitlyn was a happy baby all day thanks to a couple of good naps. She doesn't sit still very long anymore, so she had fun exploring the parts of the houses that weren't blocked off (gotta love baby gates). By the end of the day, we were all tired and Kaitlyn got a head start sleeping in the car on the way home.

Today, I started a new adventure - learning to ride a unicycle. I have never ridden one before, but I saw a guy commuting to work on one the other day (yes, I'm serious) and thought it looked like fun. So, I bought a unicycle (24" Torker LX), watched an online tutorial, put on my hockey helmet/pads and tried riding it for the first time today. As seen on the video below, I'm going to need a LOT of practice. I tried it for about an hour and was able to travel about 3 feet by the end - it's tougher than it looks.
