Growing up!

Nina had fun swinging at the park today. The higher she went, the bigger the smile! The only non-pureed solid food she has eaten are these little cereal puffs. Last Wednesday she absolutely could not pick them up - as she had not yet developed the pincer grasp, but she had it all figured out by Sunday. Huge milestone. I am like *so proud* JK JK!
Nina has been "so close" to crawling for almost a month. She has perfected sitting and prefers to sit almost all the time. When she goes down for a nap she sits up and peeks out of her crib - its hard not to laugh at the little bugger! And she is sitting up in the morning when I go to pick her up - it looks like she's in jail :) We found her standing over the weekend so we had to lower the crib. I also had to move her changing station to the floor because she was rolling and squirming all over her changing table. I was like "Nina, you are strong but not as strong as mommy". But then she won.
The girl is a character- I don't know where she gets it from but she makes some pretty funny noises. She intently buzzes her lips/blows spit bubbles. Her newest sound is scrunching up her nose and breathing like a bull.
She definitely entertains us - she dances (rocks back and forth) to singing or music. She LOVES her music box from Auntie Belle and the wind chimes on our porch from Auntie Jenny - she thinks thats music too. She gives me five and smiles for the camera. She is such a good baby but she is growing up too fast!
