Playing

Bethie got a ball popper for Christmas, and it is one of her favorite toys:

Water, Water, We Like Water

Bethie never liked her sippy cup and she couldn't get the hang of a regular straw. We bought her a sippy cup with an attached rubber straw, though, and suddenly it all came together for her. It's probably a little hard to tell, but she is an old pro at drinking through a straw now!

Crawling!!

As usual, Bethie has kept her talents to herself until she is good and ready to show them off. She wasn't crawling for the longest time, and just when I started to worry, she crawled a tiny step or two. The next day, this is what she did. She never does learn so that we can watch her - it's all or nothing with this girl! She did the same thing with sitting and standing, so that it seems like she becomes a pro over night. Who knows - maybe she does!

Such a Big Girl!

Bethie has decided that she is done with baby food. She likes applesauce and the Gerber yogurt blends, but other than that, no thank you! We've started giving her whatever we're eating, and some finger foods like Cheerios. It is so much fun to watch her eat like a big girl!
