Still sick

Still fighting off this cold, and now the baby has it too. :( No fun! Neither of us is getting much sleep, and I'm starting to run out of cough drops and tissues.

I've got some great posts on the way, as soon as we get better. In the mean time, here are some cute pics:

I love those overalls on her!

Both pictures are from almost 3 weeks ago. I can't believe how much she has grown since then! I'll be posting some comparison shots showing how much she has grown soon.

Quick Milestone Check-in

I just couldn't wait to update you until baby and I are well enough to really spend some time putting together some posts. So, I'll get some pics and video soon, but...

She is about to crawl!!!

She can roll over any way she wants as fast as she decides to. She sits on her own for so long- basically until she decides she's done- and she can rock back and forth and reach for things without falling over. If you put her down on her back she can roll over and be up on all fours in seconds. The rocking-back-and-forth-while-on-all-fours milestone happened like the day after she figured out how to get up on all fours at all, and a couple days ago she started being able to scoot her knees forward. It's the arms that are really holding her up, but last night she picked up and moved her hand twice while on all fours! Aaaah! You can really see her concentrating hard. She is determined to be able to move her little body wherever she wants to go. (This weekend hubby and I are doing a baby-proofing and house-cleaning party...)

Also, her growing this week hasn't been so much about size (although she is bigger) as growing older. She is longer and leaner and her face has definitely matured. She has also definitely grown cognitively, and my happy-go-lucky little girl has become very thoughtful and serious about her world. She is still a cheerful baby with a great smile, but she is a thinker! And, of course, still a mover. It's funny to watch her get this super concentrated look on her face as she diligently kicks or wiggles or rocks over and over.

I promise to capture some of this on film (or um digital pixels) soon. After our colds improve a little.

(Sorry this got so long and rambly. I blame my cold for my lack of brain.)

Stay tuned...

So, I have an awful cold. No promises that I'll update my blog until I'm feeling better. Fingers crossed that baby won't catch it!

Look who's up on all fours!

She learned how to get up on all fours more than a week ago, and look how good she is getting! She was doing even better, but I didn't think to start filming until she'd been at it for a while, and she was getting tired by this point. Still, she's doing amazing!

Sliding with Grandpa

I'll be putting up a great big post about our trip soon, but in the mean time, here is one of my favorite shots:

Her first time ever on a slide, with the help of her great-grandpa.

Milestones! (But no pics)

Two BIG milestones today. She just got up on her hands and knees by herself for the first time (that I've seen)... but by the time I got the camera out it was over. She also finally figured out how to combine her rolling front-to-back and back-to-front skills in the same direction instead of back and forth, and rolled across the floor. This mama is going to have to keep both eyes on her now!

Selfie time!

Sorry I haven't done more catching up on here- had computer problems and baby had a rough couple days and then a HUGE growth spurt. I'll be posting pics of how much she grew, but in the mean time, here is a selfie. Enjoy.
