Standing Tall

Bryell now stands holding onto anything! She crawls to the couch, stands on it, and reaches for anything in grasp, she crawls to the papason, stands on it, reaches around for everything, she crawls to her saucer, stands on it and plays with all the toys from the outside of it. She is getting so quick at crawling too, she will race us around the house. I have noticed her a few times now get into a bear crawl position almost like she is trying to stand up with nothing! She is growing and developing so quickly!

Bryell loves to point. She points at everything and anything She loves light switches, every light switch we walk by she points to it and wants to play with it. I'm sure that will be a fun one in the future when she can reach them herself. :)

The thing I am sad to report on Bryell, but it of course was eventually going to come, is that she is strong willed! She loves her way and is learning how to work it so she gets her way. She has always stopped breathing in her crying but it usually could be controlled. Now, when we set her down and she doesn't want to be set down, she instantly cries and within seconds is holding her breath. As concerned parents we used to run to her freaking out trying to get her to breathe- until we realized that is WHY she was doing it, she knew that way she could get her way, oy. We have our hands full!!

She gives great hugs and we love her hugs. She is either really cuddly or will push us away and want nothing to do with us, but we sure treasure those hugs!!
