Go Emma Go

At 7 months, Emma just keeps growing and getting more independent on us. Today was a big day because we had to lower the crib mattress one level. We had been talking about making that change for a few days because we caught her sitting up in bed and noticed that her head was level with the top of the crib rails. Then today, we went to get her from a nap and saw her on her knees and that put her head ABOVE the side of the crib. That did it and down the mattress went.
Emma also got to try drinking from a sippy cup today, but she didn't really know what to do. She got the cup into her mouth the right way, but chewed on it instead of drinking from it. It's a little early yet, but it can't hurt for Emma to start practicing... she'll get the hang of it.
Our rolly poly girl has also learned how to scoot on her belly. She uses her arms to pull her forward while she pushes with one foot to get where she wants to go. It won't be long now before she starts to crawl, so baby proofing efforts are going to be starting in earnest this week.
