So we have a very mobile little girl now. She hobble-crawls, cruises along furniture, stands on her own and bolts for the stairs anytime they're open. She can climb up okay, but we've got to hover to keep her safe. These last two weeks she's been discovering the kitchen. I've been loading the dishwasher strategically now because she'll hang out while I do dishes. She likes to take stuff out and in and of course suck on whatever she can. She's also spent some time "helping" by pull out the sandwich bags from a drawer in the kitchen and reorganize the baby food in the pantry. :) She's learned the sign for "all done" and is so proud of herself that she claps for herself after she signs it. Hats and peek-a-boo are just about her favorite things (and me! jk). We love her wide smile and her fake machine-gun laugh. She loves to sing along and dance to music and has become attached to her Nana and Papa.
