Speedy Gonzales!

Hello Everyone!-

I couldn't wait to get on here and post some things. Mia, as of just YESTERDAY, is cruising around the house!! It was like it all "clicked" somehow and she now can move from room to room on our hardwood floors! She grasped how to move forward. Although she still does not do a traditional crawl, she has learned this modified crawl. It's so funny. She basically uses her arms and keeps one leg turned in. It's hard to describe. I am going to try and put some pics and possibly a video of her doing this on this post. There seemed to be no real transition..she all of a sudden took off and can get anywhere she desires now. I don't know if she is ever going to really crawl the "right" way, but I am sure she doesn't care...she can get from point A to point B now.

She pulls up to her knees on our coffee table. It will be very soon that she can stand. I barely help her and she can get up and hold on while standing.

She imitates us now. We do this clicking thing with out mouths and she does it right back. She knows when I say "no" to keep doing it and see if she can get a reaction from me. I am noticing that now that she is quite the independent one, I am saying "no" much more often! ha ha. It all starts now! I feel like it all started yesterday. Giacomo and I were amazed. She crawled all the way from our living room to the kitchen. I do find it easier to just put her on the ground and do her thing. I like it better!

Anyway...I am going to post some pics with another post. I have some things to do now and it don't have the time. Hopefully later today, I'll be able to get them on here.

Just wanted you all to know this latest development with our peanut! Boy, is she really getting big! This was a big milestone I believe.
