She is trying hard to figure out how to crawl. From a sitting position, she will usually lean forward getting on all fours and then face plant, but it doesn't seem to phase her too much. She can scoot around to get what she wants but usually gets frustrated when she can't get it fast enough. Yesterday I put her on the blanket to play and before I knew it, I turned around and she scooted herself to where my flip flops were and was chewing on them...ewww!
She is also working on pulling up to stand. I had her sitting in her crib after her nap and she reached up and pulled up on the bars to get her mobile. She was successful but let go of the bars and fell back down. I guess it's time to move her crib down another level! I love watching her "problem solve" as she discovers new things.
I am amazed at what she picks up on. She has a new toy that says "bye-bye" and when it did it the first few times, I would say it and wave "bye-bye". Now every time she hears the words "bye-bye" from her toy she looks at me to see if I am going to wave. Also, she knows the word "more" because we are trying to teach her some sign language and even though she won't sign the word yet, when I say it, she looks at me and at my hands and knows she will get more.
She is also really into feeding herself...which can be quite messy but it sure is fun! (The dogs really think it's great too.)
Before I know it, she will be one! Ahhh, where has time gone???
