The Crawler

I almost forgot to mention:
Nora learned how to crawl!! She finally did it about 3 weeks ago. She's been able to move around and get to stuff and she's been super close for months but for some reason we just couldn't keep that cute little butt in the air!! :) So, anyway, I've tried bribing her with my cell phone and even with my glasses but I should have figured (since I know my own daughter) that all I would have to do is put a bag of Twizzler Nibs 5 feet away and off she would go!! What a nut! She's figured out now that it is pretty cool to be able to go wherever she wants and I am loving it (so far- other then eating her first bite of dog food - she hasn't gotten into anything too bad) But I have found her doing some pretty funny/cute things. A couple of days ago I was cleaning and she was playing in her room and it was pretty quiet so I went in to check on her and she was over by her book shelf 'reading'. I watched for a little bit and she would pull a book out, open it, 'read' a page, and then throw it off to the side and repeat! It was pretty cute and when I started to take a couple of pictures she just looked back and smiled and went about her business!
Yesterday she got this puzzle down and she is just starting to get the idea that they go back in after you take the pieces out. And she would take the pieces out, throw them and then crawl over and get it so she could try to put it back in the right place. It was pretty cute. It's so funny to try to figure out what is going on in that cute head of hers.
