Where is she going?
She has demonstrated her head-grinding crawl / headstand to friends and family, as shown in these pictures. She continues to roll EVERYWHERE. It's interesting to think of when she will crawl. She doesn't technically crawl, but if she wants to get to a toy, she will find her way there, just not by using her arms in a "commando"crawl fashion. I guess she "scoots" wherever she needs to go. She sometimes does "the worm", getting up on her hands and feet, moving forward and then putting her belly down. I don't know where she thinks she needs to be, but when scooting, she acts like she's late for something... Busy, busy, busy!
As Ava's dexterity becomes more developed, I try to get toys which require the use of her fingers / smaller hand movements. When shopping consignment sales this weekend, one toy we bought was a 12 month + toy. We're thinking she will grow into the toy. Why not expose her to it early, to see if she can get the hang of it? The day care says that they typically see kids doing what she is doing at 6+ months of age. It's hard to believe she will be five months this Monday.
She is very vocal these days, blowing bubbles and jibber-jabbering at every chance. When she wakes up in the morning these days, she will roll around in her crib contently until we come get her.
That mean old bottom (first) tooth is finding it's way to the surface. Still loving her sweet potatoes and applesauce, too!
