Exploring

but she'd rather be standing & walking...

more soon!

On the Move!

CRAWLING!

OMG! Here we go!

I thought I caught a glimpse of this yesterday afternoon & here she is this morning. Still a little uncoordinated, but scarily close. time to put those locks on the cabinets!

And while I'm at it. I have to share this lovely picture of our girl!

What is She Saying?

So obviously, she has something to say!

You may be aware that I've been using some sign language with Liv. The experts claim that babies may start signing back around 7 months old. So, I'm on the lookout!!! But I have to tell you I'm baffled, and its so funny to me to watch her in those last couple frames.

is she trying to communicate something in particular?

is she just noticing her new control & range of motion?

is she totally disgusted with me for not "getting it"?

we'll keep trying ...

Sippy Cup

OK, so this is probably about 7 minutes of trial & error condensed down to 30 seconds for you! It really is fun to watch her learn stuff!!

She's At it Again!

Always good for a giggle!!

At the Beach

So, last night, Liv and I went out to watch the sunset on the beach, and she put her feet in the sand for the first time (that she remembers). As we had already had a bath... I didn't let her get totally into it. but she sure had fun kicking it! ... But today... we walked home from the shop on the beach & I let her explore a little more. enjoy! (she seemed to!)

Trying to Crawl...

practicing... and getting closer... ((YIKES!!))

Getting Closer!

Almost there!!

Tired & Hungry!!!

New Pictures

Hi, Everyone!



Liv is excited to be standing and more in control. She is able to push to sitting from her belly. She is on the verge of crawling and just yesterday was making her way around the living room.. going to hands and knees, lurching forward, diving to her belly, recovering... YIKES!!!

So it seems to me we're entering a more hazardous period.... she's pushing her limits and still has very limited sense of consequence... I'm sure she get her share of bumps & knocks, but I'll try to keep her from getting truly injured! :)




Standing practice...
Typically, a cardboard box and tupperware are her favorite toys.

Growing!!

Liv's latest trick!!
... and favorite playtime activity is standing! she's has yet to fully grasp all the mechanics of it, but it getting better. btw, she does a wicked Hula!

we also enjoy playing with the breeze... (hmmm, wonder where she gets that??)
