She stands up to everything and can even stand on her own without holding on to anything. She almost ALWAYS wants to be standing. It's like something is engrained in her that just screams "you're not a real person unless you stand!" she becomes more and more stable by the day. And of course- she crawls everywhere and is super fast at it!
She is just beginning to cruise along furniture. It's fun to watch!
She is beginning to learn the word no, but that doesn't mean she is obedient to it yet. HAHA, she still loves the printer and that big red button that turns off all electronics connected to the computer. Silly silly. The other day I told her no and got up to pull her away and she only crawled faster to get to it-with a giant smile on her face! Great, mommy has turned it into a game....he!
She is such a talk a holic. I mean almost constantly talking. It seems as if every day she finds a new noise to make with her mouth and she is so please to listen to herself. She still rolls her tongue all the time as if she was a speaking spanish and rolling her R's. I've never heard another baby make that sound and every single person who hears her says the same thing. It is definitely her, and I love it. It brings smiles to so many peoples faces.
I am still of the mindset that she is reserved, however not shy. She talks and talk and talks and talks around people she knows and is comfortable around. But when she is surrounded by a large group of people she is almost as quiet as a mouse. She is not uncomfortable however. She will smile, and sit next to people, and become extremely observant, but not quite herself. I observed this the most on our little vacay to Utah.
Although she loves most of the people she comes in contact with, she is still attached to her mama. I laugh so hard soemtimes because it is as if it is not enough to be next to me or clinging on to me...it's like she wants to be inside of me. That she can't get close enough. It actually feels me with so much happiness because it gives me extra time to cuddle with my not so cuddly baby girl.
Even though she is attached to her momma- she has an entirely different and just as sweet relationship with her daddy. Her face lights up when Daddy comes home. Her Daddy has an energy that I just don't. Their love is different, and beautiful, and really quite indescribable. I love watching them together.

She loves to crawl over to our legs- she pulls herself up and just looks up at us like "Hey you- pick me up please!"
She is just now showing real interest in books- other than as a chew toy. On the airplane the other day I found her looking at the pictures in her book and giggling. She did it again at church the next day. It melted my heart. What a little sweetie.
She is learning to entertain herself better. It's funny though, when she is attached at the hip I find myself thinking "Oh little girl I need you to just play by yourself for a bit so I can get somethings done" and then when she is playing by herself, I find myself thinking "Should I be playing with her? " and feeling guilty. I don't think that will ever change. Both feelings are good so that I keep a good balance. It's just part of being a mom I guess.
She is growing into herself every day. Learning who she is, and I'm learning right along with her!
