Della has gotten to be a very busy girl in the past couple of weeks. Once she started crawling, everything has been coming fast! She is pulling herself up, crawling over tough terrain (such as the cross bars on the bottom of our coffee table and over Dutch) and she is even clapping her hands now. She is very curious about her surroundings - especially the ones that we try to protect her from. Whenever she finds new textures or things she likes to put her mouth on them. The first time she crawled onto the tile floor in the kitchen she kept giving the floor kisses and she found the stove and gives it kisses also. She is a very happy baby and loves to spend time with Mommy, Daddy and Dutch. She caught a little cold somewhere and has had a runny nose and cough for the past couple of days. It seems to be getting better but it sure is hard on a Mom when her baby is sick.
Della has also been experiencing new foods. She really loves bananas and some other favorites are avocado, sweet potatoes and one on the more exotic side - mango. She is growing so fast as you can see by her chubby cheeks. She is especially long (in the 95th percentile) while in weight she is in the 50th percentile.
Needless to say, each day is a wonderful day with Della - we all love her so much!
