Standing in Crib

Tom discovered Lela standing in her crib this morning for the first time. She was so excited. Matter of fact, she slept very little today due to her new feat. She even knew how to fall back down which I was glad to see. I hear of some babies that cry because they don't know how to get back down. I watched her while she wasn't looking and she was so thrilled with her new viewpoint. She was smiling, bouncing up and down and talking.

Crawling

Lela is officially crawling at 8.5 months. She can get around pretty well - will move from the den into the kitchen where I am. I'll have to start baby proofing everything now. She is giving up her third nap of the day it seems. She continues to be very curious about everything and every noise. She still loves to put everything in her mouth. We have fun making her laugh and smile.
