Such a Big Girl

Our little girl is growing up right in fron of our very eyes.

Krysten has come a long way in gaining good head and neck control ... I would say she is about 90% there, so I've been talking about wanting to get her a Bumbo Seat. I heard about if from my friends who have 8 month old twins. It is a seat that is specially designed to allow a baby to sit up straight before they are able to do independently. So, Grandma happened to be at Babies R Us this week and bought Krysten her very own pink Bumbo Seat. Of course we had to try it out right away.

We've been pretty busy the last few days and haven't had a lot of time to try it out, but she seems to really like it, as she prefers to be sitting up where she can take in all the action.

With her teeth trying to work their way in as mentioned in a previous post, Krysten has TONS of drool these days, which has caused her babbling to turn more into gurgling. Here is a video of one of her latest gurgle sessions, regardless of the fist in her mouth, which she constantly tries to shove in there.

Krysten's first sign of independence is already upon us, as we noticed this week that she is making frequent attempts to hold her own bottle. She is not at the point of pushing our hands away, but I'm sure it's coming.
