Last weekend I witnessed for the first time a consistent application of the true "crawling" method: hands and knees. And she seemed to feel pretty comfortable with it. Friday afternoon she greeted me using her unique "army crawl" style to cross the daycare room. And Saturday morning it's all hands and knees. She must have been practicing all last week without my knowledge. The daycare folks deliberately withold that kind of stuff from mommies cuz they've learned that it steals the moment and makes mommies cry. So, Evey will probably take her first steps without me (ouch) but I won't know so it will be ignorant bliss when I praise her for taking her "first steps" in the not too distant future. (daycare stinks).
Also important to note is the first real appetite for solid food that kicked in. I fed her oatmeal early in the week and she was so into it I couldn't spoon it in fast enough. She's eating "lunch" at daycare every day now and I feed her yogurt or sweet potatoes for "dinner." She was even willing to try some pears this morning. It's pretty cool. I wonder if she figured out that food will fill her tummy when she's hungry? Could also be the influence of the older infants she hangs out with all day (she's moved up to the next level classroom already). Yesterday when I picked her up, I caught her stealing a biscuit from a poor bugger strapped into a chair. She still seems to choke on rice cakes though, so I don't want her munching biscuits yet, but she gets that it's "cool" to eat. She wants in on the action.
