7 Months and 2 Weeks

So, here is the much awaited post. At least for close family and friends and scrapbooking purposes! First of all, I truly can not believe how time flies by, 7 and 1/2 months already??? Where does the time go. Anastyn has been as busy as ever. She has learned so many new things this past month it is almost hard to keep up! As you can see by the pictures, she is walking very well when holding onto our hands. She would walk around the house all evening if we would let her. She never wants to sit down and play after she has been walking.

A little unsure at first

Gaining confidence

I think I got this thing down now!

She also looooves the computer! She crawls right over to it if she happens to catch a glimpse. She loves to hit the buttons and touch the picture of her that is on the background. And yes I said CRAWL. The little sweetie just started taking off on February 5th. Up until that point she could only go backwards. Now she can get where she wants to go a little faster. She isn't completely crawling the traditional crawl but she gets up on all fours, pulls her arms forward, pushes with her legs which launches her forward, and then she goes back down on her belly and pushes up again. We have it on video, so I will have to get that posted eventually.

She looks like she is ready to do some homework.

Such a big girl!

Other things that she has been doing this month:
Feb. 5th: As mentioned before, she started crawling.
Feb. 12th: She started sitting up completely on her own.
She gives high fives.
She can wave two different ways.
She is drinking from a sippy cup and loves to get a drink straight from mom or dad's glass.
Since mid-January until the present Anastyn has been babbling quite a bit. She says the syllables mamamama, dadadadad, babababbab, yayaya and lalalalala. She loves to talk to her little pig that is in her crib and now that she can sit up on her own we have been finding her sitting up and talking when she is supposed to be napping.
She continues to fake cough and will do it on command for Mrs. Norma and her family.
She loves music and to dance around.

She has learned how to click her tongue and makes lots of clicking or clucking noises.
She also loves her food. She eats very well and likes pretty much everything after the first couple of bites.

I feel like I am leaving something out, but I will add it if I think of it later. All I can say is we love this little girl more and more each day. She learns so quickly and is such a happy little girl. She is so much fun to play with and we are excited to see what the next month brings! Just a couple more pictures to make this officially the longest post ever!





This is the picture I get every morning when I walk into Anastyn's room. She knows I am going to walk in that door and she is always trying to see. She has even started pulling the bumber down a little so she can see a little better.





Here is Anastyn getting ready to take off crawling. It is too bad her sleeper is so big because it is kind of hard to see she is up on all fours. But she is going after her doll!






So that is it for now. Hope you enjoyed the multitude of new pictures!
