Norah has been putting on quite the show as of late. Over the past couple of months she has really grown into her little self. She is very motivated to move. She started doing the commando crawl right around five months and was fully mobile by six months. As soon as we returned home from Minnesota she started crawling on all fours, which was quickly followed by pulling herself up to standing, and walking with assistance. By seven months she was crawling up stairs, playing on the playground and learning how to fall back from standing into a sitting position.
Now at eight months she is refining these skills and is getting pretty speedy! She has moments where she can stand unassisted. She can reach down and grab a toy from standing. She has started clapping and giving me raspberries (my personal favorite). And all the while she is trying out her often times not so little voice... still waiting for a proper 'Mama' or 'Dada'.
We are amazed everyday at how much she is growing, and I for one am so excited for the months to come.... albeit a little scared for the full on walk!
Chillin in the yard. (She doesn't like to crawl in the grass... too prickly?)
Standing like such a big girl!
She's pretty pleased with herself!
She's also learning how to bring food to her mouth... or at least the general area!
Look Mom! Only one hand!!
Rollin around with mom!
Swingin good time!
Baby steps up the playground!
Who are you callin a baby!?!
You can do it! (And she sure did, no problem!)
A nice bath after a big day of fun!
