Like mother, Like daughter

Here is a picture of me as a baby...I think I am about 10-11 months old.

And here is Isabelle at 10 months.

And she's off...

Isabelle is officially a crawler now. She started crawling on all fours the other day.

She was commando crawling towards her kitty, Rosalie, and her daddy's slippers. Well, when we moved the slippers, she focused her attention on Rosalie. Once she realized that Rosalie was faster than her, she got up on all four and speeded downs the cat.

Now, she crawls around everyone, but usually she is after the cat...Rosalie acts like she doesn't like Isabelle, but I truly think that cat loves her.

First Tooth!!

Isabelle's first tooth finally came in on Friday, March 11th...a day after she turned 10 months old. Now, we are just waiting for her to go from commando crawling/scooting to full hands and knees crawling.

On another note, she is becoming a pro at pulling herself up into a standing position...we may have a walker on our hands soon.

Teething and Crawling

On Tuesday, I noticed that Isabelle's bottom gums were very swollen, so I put my finger in her mouth and rubbed it along the gumline...and sure enough, there was something hard there. Well, the next night when I was changing her I took a look in her mouth and saw a little white thing right below the gumlime. So, Isabelle should have a tiny little tooth any day now.

Hopefully that tooth comes in soon because my munchkin has been in a lot of pain lately and she isn't sleeping very well at night these days.

Now, on to good news! Isabelle is very close to figuring out how to crawl. She can now do the commando crawl very well and last night she finally learned how to use to knees when moving; she just hasn't figured out how to get up on her hands and knees at the same time and move. So, crawling may also be something that happens within the next few days and maybe a week or two, but it's definitely coming though!
