She has mastered feeding herself finger foods, and is doing good work with the sippy cup. She used the sippy cup as a toy the first few times I gave it to her, but now she is a pro.
She is getting so close to crawling. For the past 3 weeks she has been getting up on her hands and knees, the last 2 weeks she been rocking back and forth, last week she started crawling backwards, but when she moves her hands to go forward she face plants. Gotta give her credit though, she keeps trying! This past weekend she took a few movements forward with her hands and knees before she fell, so we are getting closer by the day!
This is the most recent development, she gets her butt up in the air and walks her feet forward. I love how she is up on those tippy toes!
She is starting to learn so many other things too, like copying mom and dad. She will clap when we do, wave when we do, hit her hand on the table when we do, and when we shake her rattle or bang her rings together she takes it from us and does the same. People don't give babies enough credit, they are so smart! We have her 9 month doctor's appointment next week, and nine month pics as well. Busy week for Miss Ella!!
She is getting SO big. Crawling is just around the corner. Get ready!! I can't believe she is clapping, waving, and copying you guys, that is so great.
ReplyDeleteWe NEED to get together! I have to see that little lady (and you and Brandon too!).
