New Accomplishments

No pictures, but here are a few things Annabelle has been working on.

The other day she "threw" on of her toys into her Bumbo seat. She was able to push herself up onto the seat with her left arm, grab the toy with her right hand, and then use her left arm to push herself out again still holding onto the toy with her right hand.

She's been trying bananas, sweet potatoes, and rice cereal...but spits them all out...maybe she's not ready for solids yet?

I put a cheerio on her high chair tray this morning for her to try to pick up. After about 3 minutes of trying, she succeeded! But, she picked it up using her pointer and middle finger?!? And, of course, since it's food, as soon as she put it in her mouth, she made a face and spit it out :)

She's learning to fall asleep without mom or dad rocking her to sleep and then sneaking her into bed. It took her 15 minutes (with checks) to fall asleep last night and 2 minutes to fall asleep before each nap today. Now, if only I can get those naps to last longer than 30 minutes!

Last, but not least, she can pull herself up onto her knees using the edge of her exersaucer. I think our couches are too high for her to use (or she's too short!)
