Rowena's New Achievements

Rowe seems to be growing so much lately; learning new things everyday, figuring things out. It's so much fun to watch. I forgot how amazing this age is--when you can actually watch them learn and figure things out. Wonderful. Well, since my last post on her milestones, which was just nine days ago, she's tacked on a few more things. She sat up by herself for the first time on Monday, September 21st. On Sunday, September 27th, she pulled herself into a stand. Yep. She pulled herself into a stand twice on Sunday by holding onto her kick-and-whirl carnival. She has been scooting backwards for a while now...about two or three weeks. Now she's pretty good about getting onto all fours, but she usually sits up (and not crawl). If she wants something, she'll lay down, reach for it, sit back up, or spin around. Now she is starting to pull herself forward, just using her arms, letting her legs rest (for when she starts to run). So, she finally got down the forward scoot. Her motivation...Riggs' toy. She has also mastered her pinchers--picking up very small objects with her index finger and thumb. She's loving the Gerber Graduate snacks, and can get most into her mouth. She can now handle us having dinner time, while she snacks on those in her high chair.

Here are some pictures of Rowena's Tug-Of-War with Riggs this morning...going after her new incentive...his purple rope toy.
