Taking the Scenic Route

A few days ago she started using consonants when she was babbling.  It was a milestone I was starting to get concerned about, so we were really happy when she started doing it.

Also, the last two days she has been working on trying to get crawling coordinated.  Two days ago she spent about fifteen minutes working to move about her body length, yesterday she started finally getting her knees to start working together, and this morning when we put her on the floor, she could organize her movements a little better and crawled a few feet towards daddy’s shoes.  She still gets really frustrated that she can’t get there very well, but when she works at it a bit, she is able to accomplish moving forward.  I have a feeling that by the end of today she will really be taking off.

Not quite a milestone yet, but when we held her up yesterday, she let go and stood there for a second before tipping over.  She really wants to be on her own steam.
