Boxes, Kitties and Nummies!

I have a couple of cute videos of my babe to post, as well as some more pictures! She is very into food now (but only real people food!) and she is SO CLOSE to crawling! We want her to crawl because she is so close to doing it, but at the same time we realize that life will be even crazier when she is mobile. She's already pretty good at scooching and rolling and sliding around. :D

Mariah loves to feed herself, even though she isn't very good at it! Here she's eating some chicken and rice casserole.



Mariah is also figuring out how to pull herself up on things. I was making dinner the other day and I looked over and saw that she had pulled herself up and was playing drums. :D



Here's a cute picture of her playing with the boxes, it's much clearer than the video. I'm hoping that we can get a camera with better video between now and Christmas.



After Mariah has nursed in the mornings we let her play on the bed (and watch her very closely, she's so wiggly!). She's got some serious sleepy-face in this picture, and I think that's why her face looks so red too.



Our cat Boo is usually on the bed too, and Mariah loves to go after her! I am surprised at how patient Boo is with Mariah in the mornings. If Mariah can wiggle close enough Boo will usually put up with Mariah playing with her tail a bit. This is especially surprising if you know Boo!



Mariah still loves her baths, especially if we have bubbles in! One of the first things she does with the bubbles is try to eat them, and so we get a bubble beard.



After she realizes that bubbles are really hard to eat, she will find something else to chew on, and this hippo is one of her favorites. Nummy!

What a cutie! She is getting big! Good luck with Mariah becoming more mobile--you'll have to pass on tips since Emma isn't too far behind (we still have a few more months)! Hope things are going well, I miss seeing everyone at school!!!
