crawling, da da, and quite the temper...

i have been meaning to report that on the eve of her nine month birthday, daley decided that she was far too mature to army crawl anymore and now officially crawls on all fours! i'm not sure what took her so long, but it was like a switch went off for her and all of a sudden the whole thing clicked!

following her crawling skills have been her recent babbling and mimicking...she has been ba, ba, ba'ing for quite a while now, but out of no where this week the "da, da's" have begun...she is so funny when she's doing it--the face she makes is priceless! she also goes back and forth with you mimicking sounds. needless to say our house just got a bit noisier--if that was even possible!?

now let me discuss this little one's temper as of late...holy moly, i never experienced this with jack. for all the things jack put me through, he never actually yelled at me in anger/frustration!? she gets so mad these days...not only does she yell, but she stiffens her legs and rears back. i knew from the get-go that she was going to be more temperamental than jack, but i'm not sure we're equipped for this!

making a beeline for the bathroom. ironically, she's obsessed with jack's potty. if only big brother was equally obsessed!?

clearly there is not enough room in here for the two of us!

i'm outta here!
