crawling mastered!

Forget crawling on my belly, now I'm fast as can be crawling across a room. I'm particularly interested in dog toys at the moment. I can eat two containers of baby food even if one is mixed with cereal. I have one more sign class this coming weekend. I like to be tipped back in my stroller so I can say hello to whoever is driving. I'll give you a smile and a giggle if you do that. I've been to the zoo a few times. I like the things that move a lot, like monkeys and tropical fish. I'm not at all interested in lions yet because they just sit still.

Just before my ninth month I started crawling. I am getting the hang of crawling on hands and knees, but I'm still quicker scooting around on my belly. I can take a few steps if someone holds my hands above my head. I started eating table food this month too, but I prefer pureed food. I am taking a sign language class with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Susanne, Uncle Mark and my favorite cousin, Caroline. I can sign "more" and "milk" already. I love to take an evening bath, but who doesn't? I also love to read books. One of my favorites is "That's not my lion." Mommy has it memorized. I sometimes attend a book club called Book Babies at the Park Hill Library. We don't read ahead like adults, we're more spontaneous and just read and sing together. I graduated to a bigger car seat this month. I was getting a little too long for my old seat.
