35 Weeks (as of Jan 23, 2010)

(playing with the Octotunes she received from the Bells for Christmas)

(getting stuck in the bottom of her exersaucer)

(Doesn't she look precious up on her knees like that?)

I'm finally caught up!

• Canaan started crawling on Tuesday, January 19th. She never did the army crawl or scooting around on her bottom. She just started crawling.
• She ate prunes this week. I think she had a better reaction to prunes than to bananas.
• Not one to settle for one success in a week, she also started pulling up on everything this week. She will even try to pull up on a toy that is sitting on the floor. I'm trying to convince her that she needs to pull up on something taller than she is.
• She has started blowing air out of her mouth.
• When she is standing and holding onto something or someone, she will take steps toward that object/person.
• Canaan is learning to fall well.
• Matthew moved her crib mattress to the lowest setting this weekend. It is the first time we have had to move it.
• She is crawling/pulling herself up into all kinds of predicaments.
• This new found freedom is causing Canaan to do a lot of whining. I have no idea what is going on with that.
• The hardwood floor causes some frustration as her legs do not always follow her hands as they should.

Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit and were surprised to see her crawling and pulling up. It is truly amazing how much she's learned in one week's time.
