How quickly things change. This is from just a week or so ago, when all I could seem to manage was pushing myself backwards, in this case, right underneath the Pack n Play. Now, I can crawl forwards! Though usually only far enough to be able to slump back onto my belly and stretch my hand out to reach whatever I was trying to get to (book, toy, foot).
It's been a big and busy week. Besides starting to crawl, I also got more proactive about walking when standing up with my hands held. Akong and Grandma C came to visit, and were thrilled with my growth, cuteness, and conversation. I got lots of toys from them, too (COOL Mozart Cube!). I had my first taste of fish (enh). I had my first French fry (yum, when it's not too hot or crunchy). It's been a big month, too: I got a bit better at actually chewing and swallowing food which is not totally pureed to death. I got tons better at pincer grasp and getting most of the puffs or Cheerios or cracker bits or bread pieces into my mouth. I turn the pages of my books when someone is reading to me.
This week is my first plane trip (and Mommy is SO excited about that, I can tell you!) and also a family reunion - all 3 2009 babies from both sides of the family will meet up for the first time. Hopefully we will not end up slapping each other silly. I will, of course, gets tons of attention which will be nice (and only my due, of course). It will be my very first Christmas!
