A Major Year Just Passed 2004 for Kaitlyn

MAJOR KAITLYN EVENTS IN 2004

In an odd way, it was little American baby Kaitlyn Mae who grew the most in the year of our Lord just passed, 2004. For baby had to learn to do the most basic of human things, such as rolling over, walking and talking.

We don't give our human selves the admiration we deserve. Because however we did it, we have evolved into the most amazing of animals in a grand kingdom of amazing of animals.

Take a look at these few major human evolution events in little Kaitlyn's life and marvel how it all comes to be.

=============================================

Kaitlyn Rolls Over!

And so your Mom tells me, Kaitlyn, that you have rolled over. This at almost four months of age. You can roll over "both" ways as your Mom describes it and my mind took ages to configure this concept.

Evidently, Kaitlyn, babies can roll from their stomach to their back, or from their back to their stomach. If I understand this correctly, the roll from back to stomach is a bit more difficult in that there is no curved sort of belly surface to make such a maneuver easier. When baby is on stomach, that mere act of moving strongly in one direction makes rolling over from stomach to back easier as the chubby belly acts as a pivot.

Which is quite enough physics for this grandmother to grapple.

Kaitlyn Crawls!

You are a little over seven months old at this writing and yesterday your parents brought you to visit for an entire quality day. I don't know if they had quality day as part of the plan but it turned out that way and I'm much happier for it.

You are now crawling all over the place, Kaitlyn, and your personality begins to emerge. At least as grandmother sees it and what the heck, I'll write it now and later on down the road we'll see how right I am.

Kaitlyn NOT Quite Walks

She's a baby human and she's struggling to conquer one of the major abilities that will forever separate humans from the animal kingdom. Okay, she's not completely upright, yet, but wait until you see the interesting method of locomotion that she's invented. With a picture!

Kaitlyn's First Birthday

"She's the most circumspect baby I've ever known," I told Kaitlyn's mother. Who wasn't at all sure what I meant and frankly, neither am I. Except Dictionary.Com defines it as: "Heedful of circumstances and potential consequences; prudent." Includes birthday pictures.
