Things Anna is doing...
-Clapping (she's figured out how to logistically, but not yet put it with being happy).
-"Dancing" to fast paced music (bobbing her head and body)
-Pointing
-Shaking her head "no"-- then Ryan and I shake our heads "yes" and then she laughs and keeps shaking her head "no".
-Getting up at least once at night... our parent's as teachers representative told us that at her age, she doesn't have to eat at night... so we are starting another round of sleep training. She also said that now is a good time to try to break the finger-sucking-for-comfort habit (and that it will only get harder to change it later).
-Crawling! We installed the outlet protectors and the top-of-the-stairs baby gait in a hurry. She is also easily pulling herself up on everything, and is occasionally climbing up onto a raised surface (fireplace, etc). It is endearing that she chooses to crawl to you, now that she has a choice.
-With her new mobility, she can now better choose how she would like to sleep... a lot of times it is on her stomach with her bottom stuck up in the air. :)
-Eating most solid foods-- her favorites are currently blueberries and pasta, and would like to eat a lot more of them than is healthy, probably.
