Emery is now pulling herself to standing on every possible surface, sturdy or not. This is not as cute as it sounds. She refuses to crawl now and sits and cries until someone offers her their hands so that she can walk to wherever it is she wants to go. She is also not so sure on her feet and we've had more bumps and bruises than I can even count anymore. We had just gotten baby proofed for the crawling stage and are now desperately trying to keep up with all of the new places she is getting herself into.
She has finally started babbling. I was starting to get worried as all of the other kids at playgroup are expert babblers. So, in addition to raspberries I now hear "babababa" all day long. Every once in awhile she throws in a "mama" so I'm not too offended that her first babbles had nothing to do with me, or anything else I can identify. Possible explanations for what baba means from our friends include: 'grandma' in Japanese, 'water' in spanish, or she is just starting to sing 'Baba O'Riley' by The Who. She did start saying it while my mom was here, so I'm going with Japanese as a first language. Also, she makes kissy noises which are way cute.
Last Saturday we took her for her very first swim lesson. It was at a therapeutic pool where the water is kept in the nineties, so it was like a really big bathtub for her. She seemed to like the water although I'm not real sure that the class is helpful. It's almost worth it just to see her in her bathing suit though:
