Yardstone: Ready to Crawl?

Granted, she is not quite there yet, hence the word "yardstone" in the title (if that is even a word...). What I mean is that she is not really crawling yet, but it sure looks a lot like she is getting there. She will sit on her hands and knees like in this picture and rock back and forth. When she gets too enthusiastic she push so hard with her feet, but forget to move her hands so she will roll over. If she is not on het knees like this she kind of pushes herself backwards with her hand. So, she is moving, but I would not call it crawling yet.

When she gets there we'll call it a milestone :-)

Milestone: Sitting

My Goodness, my girl is growing en developing fast! She reached a serious milestone today: She can sit! Well, she actually reached this milestone this past weekend, but by then it was still rather shaky. Today she did not only sit, we played, with a ball. It was not just a minute or so, we played for quite a while! Later we even had two balls going and she was holding one in each hand. As you can see she is enjoying it. Here is another picture showing her enthusiasm for the game we were playing:

Cookie Monster

Lorelei has been increasing the number of different types of food she eats. I told you before she started on various kinds of fruit. Well, in the morning she eats cereal these days. Fruit is for the afternoon and at night she gets some sort of vegetable. I try to vary the source as well (i.e. alternating between jars vs. fresh food). She eats all of it. And, recently she has even added an occasional snack to her diet: a cookie. As you can see here she is quite the cookie monster. I can tell you that the "painting skirt" is quite necessary (although a bib of the somewhat more serious variety will do fine too...). It is quite interesting to watch her devour that cookie. It takes a while, and a significant percentage does not enter the digestive system, but fun all the same :-).
