First Word?

So Lovebug started stringing her consonants together Friday night. Of course, right after her nine month check-up! She had just gone to bed and we turned on the video monitor to check on her. It sounded like there was a little Asian lady in her room. Check out the video, it's short but you'll get the point.

Where'd that darn puff go??

Love Bug is working on her pincer grasp and self-feeding skills. Sometimes this goes well, like this morning she managed to get the puff into her mouth and then proceeded to clap for herself. Other times it's not so easy and her target eludes her. Either way, it's so cute to watch!

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful...

Our little darling's hair is always in her eyes. Until it grows long enough to hang loosely, we're trying this creative way to keep it out of her face--not to mention how much it amuses us.

Mema and Papa Visit

We had a great time with Mema and Papa last weekend. I showed off my new sitting skills for them. I'm a little pro now! My major mode of transportation is still rolling all over the place but I also have an inchworm move and a backwards commando crawl. I can get my little hiney in the air and pull my knees up under me. I'm going to figure out this crawling thing yet! I'm starting to sprinkle some d's, g's, and b's into my vocabulary, but much to Mommy's dismay, no m's just yet. I enjoy teasing her!

Bedhead

We went in to get Keira up from her nap and found this little street urchin instead...

Self-feeding??

This would've gone well if she could've figured out which end of the spoon to use, but it was a good first try!
