Give that baby a hand!

She's started clapping. I've been trying to get it on video, but it's proving to be very challenging and I wanted to blog about it before it's totally out of date. She's been clapping for about a week now.

She's getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth. Every time she does it, my brain sings "it's the pelvic thrust... really drives you insa-a-a-a-ane".

Grabbing!

Sterling has advanced past hitting things into grabbing. She's gotten quite adept at grabbing her hanging ball. Recently, she's even gotten enough pull that she can turn on the musical bug that we've attached the ball to. It plays "if you're happy and you know it," which is now perpetually stuck in my head.

She hasn't gotten to the point where she'll grab at something that we offer to her, but I'm sure that's not far off now.

She's also developed an interest in wringing her hands, folding them in front of her chest, and chewing on them. She can nearly fit an entire fist into her mouth.
