Getting around

V is finally learning to get what she wants, and I don't mean that in a spoiled way. She is learning to scoot and roll until she can reach what she is after. I often find her turned completely around and on her belly when I get her from her crib. If I set her on the floor, she will immediately do a 180, because of course, Mom never sets her right in front of what she really wants!

The other day, I set her on the floor and she happened to see the books we were giving to goodwill across the room. She decided she wanted them and made her way over there. She was quite thrilled with her ability!

She even got to suck on a few of them. She was very excited about that!

If I want her to stay out of trouble, I have to put her in her jumper or highchair. I am so excited that we are finally getting to this stage! Seriously. I know everyone else in their right mind always dreads this, but I love having independent children. I want them to be able to do things on their own without me having to do everything for them. I think it is good for their self-esteem and self-confidence. I am so glad to see V growing and developing each day. I sure love her!
