Lunging and Bababa-Bobby?

Elise is starting to put some components together that we've been learning in physical therapy. Today, she popped up (all on her own!) on her hands and knees, rocked forward and back and then made a lunge toward her little green fish toy. Elise landed fully on her chest but wasn't deterred because she had gotten what she wanted. She's making some connections on movement! We'll continue with weekly therapy until Elise is crawling and is able to pull up to standing all on her own. This will ensure a successful transition to walking.

We've also discovered our first consonant sound- the letter 'B'. On Saturday's car ride to Medina, Elise chattered away with 'Bababababa'-- sometimes throwing in the occasional 'Vavava'. Several times she ended with the word 'Bobby'. Of course daddy is wondering who the mystery man may be! Have no fear, we don't know of anyone by that name!
