Katelyn is blowing my mind!
So all summer long we've been waiting and waiting for Katelyn to talk. Dr. Kasamatsu assures us that she was fine, that there was a range for speech. She pointed when we asked her to (Where is the doggie?) and she had a few words (doggie, shoe, mom, dad, cracker, etc.)
And it happened! Literally, over night. At the beginning of October, she was barely talking. However, two weeks into October, her vocabulary literally grew from 10-20 words to well over 100. SHe is naming everything! It is awesome! Besides naming things (moon, light, cookie, cracker, Geoffrey, swing, slide, meeyunk (monkey), love you, mote (remote) show, and every character on Mickey mouse clubhouse, for starters) she also does animal sounds (dog, cat, cow, chicken...) and sings the end of Mickey Mouse club house.
Most amazingly, she can identify every capital letter in the alphabet! It is crazy! We will be out and she will start identifying letters off of signs, or out of books. She LOVES the alphabet and anything related!
She is also quite the climber. She will climb way up high on jungle gyms with no fear, including trying to climb rainbow ladders and sometimes walking right up to the edge of platforms. It is quite scary. She is really coordinated playing ball, too.
This year, she is doing Ms. Lisa's class with Daddy. She loves playing, circle time, and snack, but doesn't love crafts.
My adorable ABC girl.
Katie was Minnie Mouse for Halloween. At first she was shy but by the end of the night she loved reaching into the candy bowl to pick out a piece!
Making midnight music in the moonlight mighty nice. mmmmmm
