Our Little, Baby Girl is Growing Up On Us!

Xia's been rolling all over the place to get from point A to point B this past week, but today especially. She's been pushing up on her knees trying to propel herself forward, but ends up going backwards! She makes huge circles on our living room floor just scooting herself around. It's so cute! No longer does she stay on her little blanket, sitting up playing with her toys. Am I ready for my baby girl to be more mobile? Am I ready for her to...*gulp*... CRAWL?! I'm not sure if it's an emotional thing or if I'm just not ready to child proof my house yet! So many mixed emotions as she grows up a little more each day. Excuse me while I go shed a tear of joy and sadness.

A few more big girl things she is doing...

She's started waving "bye-bye". At first we thought it was a fluke, but them she kept on doing it everyday to Oscar! It's so precious!

When she is sitting up, she bounces on her bottom and hums!! It's too cute!

She's showing more of her will as well!! Not anything too much to handle but enough to get our attention. When she wants to be picked up, if she's waiting for me to feed her solids, or if she feels that she needs to be noticed (!), she clenches her fists and jaw and makes a grunting sound... is this a sort of tantrum?!! She comes by it honestly!

She is extremely vocal (she takes after her mama!!). She "talks" all the time and makes all sorts of new sounds, constantly. She makes friends everywhere we go, "talking" and smiling at the people that stop to compliment her. I can't believe she's mine! She is an awesome baby:)

When we are playing with her and making her laugh, she forces fake sneezes and coughs to get a reaction out of us! She is a mess! We can't get enough of our little girl! She is PRECIOUS!

UPDATE (9/15/2010) A few more things I forgot to add!

After we lost her last pacifier at the Zoo (end of Aug), she doesn't want her new ones at all! She had lost an interest in her pacifiers in August and would just chew on them. After she lost her last one, I bought her new ones and she won't touch them! She doesn't even want to chew on them. She doesn't suck on her thumb or fingers either.

She has a pouty lip and a pathetic whimper that goes a long with it! She does it when I don't spoon another bite of food in her mouth fast enough and sometimes when I'm changing her diaper. I must say that it is cute:)
