Keeping up with Bethany

Wow, I'm glad Bethany waited to crawl as long as she did! We are busy as she has perfected crawling up stairs (not down yet), can pull up on anything and everything and even lets go for a short time, and has figured out how to un-babyproof the outlets by taking the plugs out - yikes!

She is so happy with her new found freedom but it is certainly harder to watch to make sure she isn't getting into something she's not supposed to! Bethany enjoys a lot of finger foods these days too: macaroni, crackers, all fruit cut-up and her favorite... eggplant. Funny girl.

Here are a couple of pictures of her in the last few weeks at 9.5 months.

This is an extension of our peek-a-boo game.. one of us hides and Bethany peeks around a corner at us and then erupts in laughter!


Here is a picture of her putting something in her mouth to transport while crawling. This is a mini makeup item from my purse - as you can sort of see she already ransacked the rest of the purse items. She takes random things, puts them in her mouth, and crawls somewhere else to play with it. Sometimes it is a stuffed animal and looks so realistic like she is a mommy cat bringing her kitten to safety. So funny!

There is that tongue again

She loves the musical table that Kathryn found on Craigslist for her a month ago
