something new everyday

A couple weeks ago she started crawling. She just took off as if she'd been doing it for weeks already. She doesn't crawl much- instead she cries and whines for you to come hold her hand(s) so she can practice walking. She is cruising along the furniture, but hasn't pulled herself up yet. (any day now)

This morning she pushed herself around on her little car and she stood up and held on (but hated doing it). She can stand alone for several seconds and she's starting to take a quick-little-half-step, but then falls forward for you to catch her. She's very determined, but cautious and careful.

Miss is eating big-girl food. She is done with oatmeal! She still likes applesauce and yogurt, but everything else should be put on her tray for her to pick up herself. She loves cheese- even extra sharp cheddar!

She is often sitting up, on hands and knees or, more and more, standing up holding onto the railing of her crib. She says a sharp, high pitched ! HI ! when I walk in to get her. (one of the best things ever)

She knows "mamam" and "dada" or "dady" says "hi" and waves goodbye. She signs "all done" and understands "milk" but hasn't done it herself yet. She can use a sippy cup but prefers you hold it for her.
