Amari's development over the last few months...WOW!

Amari has learned and grown to do so many things its just stunning!

She now uses a sippy cup on her own - the kind without handles.

She has started feeding herself using her pincher finger grip. She was taking my hand and bringing the puffs to her mouth but today she did it all herself.

She has been full on crawling and pulling up but on Saturday she moved herself from the stair base to the wall and along a chair by holding on to those things!

She says Da Da Da and na na na lots and varied other repeated sounds that she is practicing.

She stated pointing this week and like us to tell her the name of who/what she is pointing at. We're not always sure that the pointing is about who/what she is pointing at because she also loves it when I touch my finger to hers or kiss her finger.

She has been waving Hi but has added bye bye.

She still bounces to music and was shaking her rattle to the music as we danced yesterday.

She has been turning the pages to her board books from the get go and figured out that things don't have to go sequentially like we read them to her. She can go back to a page that she is interested in. She clearly understands certain phrases like the end, all done (stops crying like a switch has been thrown after say that - say when I have been wiping her nose).

She has developed a stronger sense of object permanence.

She started initiating peekaboo with Mark on Sunday.

She has been eating baby food solids and cereal for the last month.

She has been clapping for the last week or so and does it on her own when she is happy or hears me say yay or clap clap clap.

She lifts her arms when I say up and is learning down as I teach her how to sit down from pulling up. She lifts her arms now to tell me when she wants out of the highchair, crib, etc.

She smacks our hands when we hold them out flat for her to high five.

She stands for long periods of time.

She picks up the tiniest things off the floor with her fingers. Really good fine motor skills.

She has been passing things from hand to hand for the last two months.

She talks lots and we wish we knew what she's saying because her inflection and emphasis are so strong its really funny.

She has one tooth in, another poking through, and swollen gums that clearly show more to come.
Now she has three in and two more on the way!

She can stand and move along things as long as she has something to hold onto - sat from a stair to the wall and along the edge of a chair.

She is learning how to sit down.

She climbed her first stair today - yikes!

She can walk if we hold her hands!

There is more but gotta run!
