Aubrina has been changing so much over the past couple months, it's totally amazing to me. Just in the past 2 months she's learned to sit on her own, crawl, pull herself up, get herself back down, and walk along the furniture. She LOVES crawling through tunnels, whether it's the blue tunnel at school, underneath the coffee table, underneath the dining room chairs, or even through people's legs. She also loves being upside down.
Besides that, her fine motor skills have been improving too! She's perfecting picking up food with her thumb and forefinger to feed herself, she gives 'Hi Fives' and she's learning how to clap. She can open a box and put toys in it, and she's getting better at turning the pages of her books. I think the cutest thing now is that she's starting to cuddle with her blankies and stuffed animals. A few weeks ago we sent Mark off on a business trip, and she waved bye-bye for the first time.
Now she's beginning to understand cause and effect. Now when she's in her high chair and she drops her toy on purpose, she winces knowing it's going to make a noise. She's also starting to understand things when we talk to her. You tell her 'Give me a high five!' and she does it with a smile :) I tell her 'Go get your pink bunny' and she crawls right to it. She's still testing the waters on some things, like when she reaches for the plug in the wall and I tell her 'No,' she cracks up and then reaches for it again. But at least she's not saying 'No' back to me yet!
