Roll Bar

Avery is currently sitting on the floor of my office just reaching up in the air trying to reach ... well, I'm not sure what.  I think she wants to pull herself up, but since there's nothing around, she's just reaching into the air and talking.  I just handed her a paper bag to play with and she's thrilled with that development.  It makes a lot of noise and Avery loves to make a lot of noise.





She is becoming mobile in every way but official crawling.  Through her lay-to-sit skill, combined with her rolling, she seems to appear in completely different places from where I set her down.  She will also make dives for various treasures placed in front of her and attempt to crawl, inching forward ever so slightly with a flurry of movements that look like crawling, but which lack the structure to actually result in a crawl.  As has been true for several weeks now, she rarely falls backwards when sitting.  I thought that head control was one of the greatest milestones, but I am now amending that thought to replace head control with sitting unassisted.





Avery and I have done a couple of walks over the past few days.  I tend to do all the walking and her all the riding, but it's a fair trade for the happy grins she greets us with each morning.  All of this leads me to this question:  does anyone else's baby ride like this in the stroller?  She seems to have found a new use for the car seat attachment bar.  She just props here feet up there and says, "Wheeeeee!"  I call it her roll bar.
