Getting mobile

She's getting more mobile now - I can no longer set her down in the floor & expect her to be in the same spot when I get back! Instead of sitting up to play, she keeps tumbling to her belly, where she will roll, scoot & play. She will poise like she intends to crawl, but the most she will do is go backwards! But she is acting like she wants to, now. And she loves to stand, but hasn't taken any steps yet.

She's sleeping better at home. Bedtime isn't a challenge, omce again(*knocks on wood*). I've been meaning to get a baby sign language book so we can start that now. She's really growing & seems to be getting smarter each day. :)

I can't think of much more. We both donated blood this morning & my mind seems slow! Plus we got new phones last night & I've been trying to catch up with the world on these new cell phones that have so many more buttons - with cameras, video, internet, etc!

Enjoy the photos. I'll try to upload new videos, too.

Russ did this quick sketch of a previous photo (the one of her watching the Wiggles her in snowman PJ's April 1). April 17 - Sleeping with her feet sticking through the crib bars. April 20 - Playing on her quilt pallet April 20 - Reaching for a "donut" stacker piece - she was rolling back & forth, trying to wiggle over to it April 20 - Looking out the window from her playpen - you can see her reflection April 23 - Standing & playing on the foot stool, early in the morning. (Kept pushing the toys off of it.) April 23 - Standing & playing on the couch April 23 - "I like big butts, I cannot lie..." Too cute! That's actually her double-stuffed toddler-sized diaper making the extra room, but it provides plenty of padding when she decides to suddenly sit! (AKA: Falls.) April 23 - Trying on dresses to see what will fit - pretty yellow one from Grandma. April 23 - We had to take a photo on the deck while the dogwoods were still in bloom. April 23 - Another dress from Grandma, but this one wouldn't button! Boo! Had to take a photo of her in it, anyway. Would love to find it in a 18-24Mo size! April 23 - Drinking from her sippy. She's now good enough to get every drop out of those sippies on her own, without getting soaked in the process! This photo makes me laugh every time I look at it! April 23 - What a beautiful smile. The kid loves juice. April 26 - In the playpen at the "future house."
