Thank you everyone for the tips!!!
Over the last couple of days I have been holding my hand out to her more. Usually she will sniff first and then back up, but as I have been doing this more, she now will sit up all pretty and tall and acts as though she is going to swat at my hand, but instead of really swatting my hand she gently puts her paw on my hand.
Deep down I think she knows I'm not going to hurt her. She just probablly has never felt a pet so she doesn't know yet that petting is a good thing. Sometimes she does have her claws out as she is pawing at me, but she never really claws, she does this as gentle as possible, almost like she is testing my hand to see what will happen when she touches it. I think the more we do this, she will see that my hand is not going to hurt her.
Also, today she has been napping at the very top of her cat tree. I'm going to snap some photos later tonight. She is sooooooo cute!
I think she has grown too! Over this past weekend I was away overnight at my grandmother's house, and when I came home I thought she looked bigger. Looking at her now on top of the cat tree I also think she has matured somehow.
Hope everyone is well and thanks again for the support!!
