- She's walking regularly along walls and furniture. She's still hesitant to take off by herself, but if she's not thinking about it, she'll take 2-3 steps on her own.
- She's quite a monkey. She climbs on the car she got for her birthday, gets down from furniture on her own, and loves to climb all over us when we're sitting on the floor.
- She's babbling lots. She says mama, dada, ba (ball), and lots of her own words. She does seem to be getting closer to saying distinguishable words and has lots of "conversations" with us.
- She's learned to blow. Not sure where she picked that up, but she puckers her lips and blows a lot.
- She lets us know when she wants to be picked up by crawling up to our legs and stretching her arms up. Pathetically cute!
- She has 8 teeth (4 up, 4 down) with what seems to be some 1-year molars on the way.
- She seems to be learning more cause and effect with her toys - She puts them inside of things and shakes them. She puts blocks into the holes on her activity cart and watches them come out the bottom. She's definitely a busy body.
- She has acquired the Oberholtzer sweet tooth. Anytime we eat something sweet, she speed crawls over to our feet and begs to be picked up to share.
- She loves to cheer for herself. Whenever she does something good and we praise her up, she gets a huge smile and claps for herself. What a little ham!
Within the last month, it seems like she's really started transitioning from a baby to a little girl. As much as we loved cuddling her as a baby, we are totally loving this stage of interaction and learning. Every day she learns something new. We are truly trying to cherish every minute. She is a total blessing!
