Heading home after her first day at the day care...

Learned how to crawl - loving her tunnel!

First time in a shopping cart "the big girl way"

·         Little moments:

     * officially crawling! (and man, is she fast!) 

·         * can go from sitting to crawling/laying down

·         * When she is really tired after her evening bottle, she won't sit up on my lap to burp. She immediately turns  and puts her head on my chest to cuddle. I love it. Makes me smile every time. :)

·         * started at daycare two days a week

·         * started puffs - hated them at first and now loves them...as soon as you pour them on her tray she hoards them all

·         * we are no longer able to get away with her in her carseat in restaurants...she squirms right out. High chairs all the way now...

·         * finally likes bath time! She has let go of her death grip on the sides of her tub and actually splashes the water and plays with (eats) the toys

·         * obsessed with cords- can crawl across the room in the blink of an eye if she spies a cord that isn't blocked/hidden

·         * apparently inherited a new set of lungs - man this girl can get loud!

·         * will occasionally wave 

     * starting to understand "no" (although I think she may have understood awhile ago and was just not listening to me) :)
