A Few More Firsts

These are long overdue pictures, but I love them so much I couldnt help but show you.

Daddy took Mati out for her first adventure in the snow...

(Feb 2010)

Making snow angels. I think she likes it.

First time eating solids...

(Feb 2010)

Mmm... applesauce (with a little sugar & cinnamon to spruce things up).

Is she enjoying it? We couldnt really tell. By the look on her face, probably not, but she kept going back for more. My little girl is growing up!

Sitting up! She started sitting up on her own sometime in March (I think). In the beginning, I had to put her up and she would stay there until she fell over.

She was a little late in the game learning to hold a bottle on her own, but in her defense she didnt have to for the first 7 months. I still have to lay her down and prop her on a pillow for it to work, but she loves doing it by herself. Sometimes when I try to feed her a bottle she takes it away from me and does it herself. She's an independent little thing! I guess that is a good thing, but sometimes I still want her to rely on me. :(

I'm mobile! You can call it crawling if you want, but it is really more like a shimmy or an army crawl. Either way, she can get were she wants to go now. She learned to sit up on her own around this time, too. Before, if she fell over, she wouldnt be able to get back up and would start crying. But now she is a champ! Sitting, falling, sitting up again, moving across the living room floor to get a toy... such a big girl!
