When I told Caity that The Charlie and Lola magazine would be discontinued she burst into tears and cried out, "I'm so disappointed!" When she found out that they would be printing the last issue this month she looked at my with disbelief and horror then sobbed even louder.

Caity growing up

At the moment Caity's language skills are fantastic. The things she says make her seem older than 2 and a half.

The other day when we were shopping in Metro the conversation went something like this:

Caity picks up a sesame street play dough set: Mommy, I can buy this one. [Looks intently at the toy]

Me: Well sweetie, you can't at the moment cuz you don't have any money. Only Mommy and Daddy have money.

Caity: Awh. Then gimme all your money Mommy.

Last night she told me this:

Caity: I can fly.

Me: You can sweetie, how?

Caity: With my fairy wings, I can fly. Hee Hee.

For Holloween I'd bought her a set of fake fairy wings and she'd promptly put them on and pranced around the house.

Now she can also count to 30. Although sometimes, she skips 14 and 17 but she gets that when you reach 20-something you're supposed to say 20 plus whatever number from 1-10. Except that 30 becomes "twenty-ten".

21 Months and counting

Caity is 21 months in 2 days.

 

She's walking really well and running around a lot. Lately, she's been getting a little "terrible" as she approaches 2.

Joy of Joy

Caity walked yesterday. Gine propped her up on the back of the sofa and she managed to toddle 4 steps forward! This is bittersweet for me I guess. I know that pretty soon she'll be running around the house and I'll have to jump up and down to catch her. At the same time, I've been waiting for a long time for her to walk.
