Milestones

Anna is sort of getting to the age now where she really starts doing things, reaching milestones and really growing, real quick.


She's mastered crawling, she's zipping down the hallway now, and we'll play chasey around the house. She's standing up and cruising around the furniture and walls, and can confidently sit back down again. She also stood up on her own for the first time today. I was so proud :)


She's clearly saying 'mumum' and 'dadad'. Whenever she crawls into a dark room she'll say 'dadadada' because Adam sleeps during the day. And when she wants me (which is pretty much all the time) she'll say 'mumumum'. Oh it feels so good to hear that.


Shes's walking if you hold her hands, she'll walk at any opportunity you give her. And she's now sleeping really well. She has her off nights but it's generally better.

And I think the biggest milestone to date is eating solids. She's now refusing the bottle and is eating so much yummy food! And she's drinking happily from a sipper cup. It's just amazing watching her eating like an adult, she takes a bite, swallows and then goes for some more; this is opposed to spitting it out everywhere. She's having at least 3 meals a day, a full cup of water and 2 or 3 crackers. This is such a relief. Now I know she'll not go hungry when she goes into childcare in November.


She's changing so much every day. I just cannot believe how quick this year has gone, I'm planning her 1st birthday party and I have to pinch myself. She's growing up to be such a beautiful, spirited little girl. This is what it's all about. This is why we have children. Nothing quite beats watching your little girl growing up. Days like these make it all worth it.
