Expanding Vocabulary and Crawling (almost)

Noah's vocabulary grew by two words this weekend.  We now have the word "NO" and the oh-so-useful "door"!  Yay Noah!  All total Noah can say about 5 or 6 words!

Annalise was up at 5 o'clock this morning practicing crawling in her crib.   She is so very close.  She gets up on all fours and rocks.  She just needs to get courage to move her arms and off she goes!

6 months already!

Annalise had her 6 month check up the other day.  She is now weighing in at 18 pounds 4 ounces and is 26 3/4 inches long. That puts her squarely in the 75th percentile for both height and weight. 

The doctor was pleased that she is trying to crawl and was impressed with her gross motor skills!  In the last few weeks she has been getting up on all fours.  In the last week or so, she has been able to hang out on all fours for a longer period of time is trying to work up the courage to make a move.  For quite some time, she has been moving around by rolling and doing the army crawl.  Noah is not so sure what to make of her now that she can get at his toys!
