She's mobile!

Well, our little Anora is crawling.  She learned how to crawl on Nov. 2 while chasing after Papa's drill bits.  She has been working on it for a long time, but this was the first time she sustained the crawl for any length of time before sitting down.  Now, she is constantly on the go. But she will quickly be walking we think because she loves to be on her feet.  She pulls up on anything and everything.  I generally feel like a climbing post these days when I play with her.

She still hasn't been sleeping great, but luckily she is slowly becoming more interested in food which I think will help her sleep through the night. Lately, the food packets seem to be a favorite.  I'll take it!  Whatever food stays in her mouth is good food!

Anora is interested in everything and I think it is a sign of her smarts :)  She likes to be involved in all that we are doing.  She cries quickly, but smiles and "blah blah blahs" just as easily.  She still brings smiles to everyone's faces :-)

First teeth!

Anora cut her first two bottom teeth in the same day, Oct. 30th 2014.  She had been out of sorts - not sleeping or eating well, feverish, and generally fussy - for about a week.  Now we know why!  She is seemingly back to her old self again. The two teeth are still hard to see, but they are there!  I can feel them.  I was at a fundraising breakfast that morning, and when I came home, my nanny shared the news.  It feels like such a huge milestone.  Like she's really growing up.  I do love her gummy smile, but I will also love her toothy smile :)  

 Along with her teeth she is about to reach another milestone...she is just days away from full on crawling.  She can do it a little bit, but then gets nervous about balance and sits down.  Any day!
