I'll find some pictures to post, but in the meantime here's an update....
The baby girl has finally - crawled?...no, pushed through her two top teeth. Well, technically there's only one that's through and actually showing white, but you can feel the other one if you're brave enough to put a finger in there.
Kind of late in the game I decided to give her some sign language to help her communicate with us. She's become really good at "All Done." She's been using it for all sorts of things, toys, eating, breastfeeding, books. It's pretty fun to see. She says it at the same time and it's pretty close. Sydney's got a few different sounds for Daddy and I've only once heard Mummy when she was crying in her bed. If she gets really good at that, I'm going to have to start losing my hearing, it was so heart wrenching.
It's been established that she's a partier and loves to entertain. Give her a new group of people and she'll charm them with all of her tricks. So, that brings us back to the crawling issue. There's a loose theory out there that she's so much of a people person and relational being that she has no use with getting around. Why would she want to go somewhere else when all the action is where you are? That might be what I need to start doing to spark her interest in mobility, leave her alone a bit more. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm not chasing her around all day or worrying about baby proofing the house.
She's gobs of fun. I can't believe that she's 10 months this week. What in the world?
