Drinking and Crawling

Today Maddy drank pop out of a straw. At lunch she continuously was grabbing at my pop so I thought I would let her play with it not thinking she would figure out how to drink out of it. Next thing I knew she was drinking my Dr. Pepper out of the straw. I'm not sure she liked the taste but continued to do it because she liked our reactions. I wasn't exactly thrilled that she was drinking pop, but I was so proud of her that I let her have a few drinks.

Tonight she figured out how to move herself across the floor. I wouldn't exactly say she is crawling in the sense she is on her hands and knees, though. She is rather pulling with herself with her arms and pushing off with her toes. It seems like it demands a lot of effort, but she is happy because she can get from place to place.

What a day for our little one! Its just amazing how fast she is developing new skills.
