More fun with the Sweet Pea...

For those of you fans of her crazy hair (which tamed considerably in her fourth month), you'll be pleased to see that something of a rebellious mop is surfacing now in her eighth month. Not as edgy, perhaps, as the spikes of yore... but funky in their own right. Definitely they have a sort of free-flowing personality that mimic's Belén's. Now that she has discovered the possibility of mobility, she has actually become a pretty determined little girl. Cuddle? Not so much. She understands now that there is a world out there and she must learn how she can first access and then conquer it. She will do this first by rolling with authority. And as seen in the picture below, she is very close to full and complete dominion. If only she can master the crawling maneuver. For the present, she pulls her knees up under her... and she's pretty sure she is supposed to do something after that, but she hasn't quite worked out the particulars of how.

Here she is at her play table. She is getting pretty good at holding onto tables to hold herself up. Standing is her favorite thing. That, and when Papa walks her through the house. Here's a little video of that. I know the lighting isn't so good, but the giggle is worth the poor quality of the video.





Oh, and yes, the pearly white prize I promised you last post... here is my attempt to capture it. I admit, it is a little hard to see - but I assure you, it is there and it is sharp like a puppy-tooth. Watch out!
