Wow, time flies! I just reread her 9 month old post. Those things she was doing then seem part of every day life now.
She not only crawls quickly, but she stands and has taken up to 6 steps by herself. She looks so proud of herself and almost amazed at what she can do. It is a whole new world. Plus, I think she has grown in length.
Sometimes Emma will know that we are probably going to take something away from her that she shouldn't have so she tries to crawl away quickly. It is kind of cute now but this defiance will not be cute when she is older. We are trying different ways of doing things like having her hand us the piece of garbage or trading something.
Emma absolutely loves Cheerios. During church she likes to sit on the floor with her cup with the non-spill lid and eat. I think she would continue to eat forever if we let her or the cup didn't empty. We are trying to give her more chunky foods. She still likes the pureed ones. She likes shredded cheese and banana and apple pieces too.
She is trying to laugh more on purpose. She is starting to giggle more too. If only she would put the two together but when we are laughing she tries to copy us.
She still likes to dance but now she can dance and clap her hands while standing. Lots of multi-tasking!
A fifth tooth has broken through. It is to the left of her top teeth. She likes grinding her teeth together sometimes. A funny thing is that she likes to take a bite out of the Cheerio like you would take a bite out of something. Emma girl likes to figure things out.
