A Few More Firsts...

Sometime in mid-March (I thought the video camera would save the date!) Wylie started her army crawl/jungle dog/slither move!  It's crawling without lifting the belly.  I've done everything I can to try to get her to lift her belly, but finally gave up.  She's going straight from that to pulling up (which she did all on her own to the couch mid-April (about 9 months)!  She wants to walk REALLY BAD!  Also got on camera was her first move from sitting to belly, back to sitting up!  Once she figured it out she kept doing it, it was so cute.

I had a nice big confined area for her, but she realized she was being confined, so now she goes wherever she wants!!

She LOVES playing on her little piano...so all the Ritter family will be pleased!  Even Joe was surprised how much she enjoys it!

Easter came and I actually made her dress and was finished 24 hours before she needed to wear it!  That's a Patrick record I think!

We took a road trip to Dallas, the first since she used to sleep all the time...it was an experience.  Learned we need to time things better, but she still did good considering she was stuck in her car seat for 8 hours! 

On Thursday we had lunch with a college friend then went to the Ft. Worth Zoo.  I think she enjoyed it...as much as an 8 month old can!

May seem silly, but this was her first time sitting in grass!! It's still a little crunchy...

Daddy loves to hold her this way and she seems to be pretty comfortable!!

Joe used to not want to do the bath thing, but it's become their special time together and she LOVES it!

and finally...I happen to catch her standing up in her bed when she was supposed to be sleeping!
