Baby Talkin' and almost Walkin'

It's been a while! Since my last post in March, a lot has happened. I sat up in April, just a few days before my 6-month birthday and I starting crawling right at about 7 months. On Tuesday, I will be 9 months old, and I just started standing on my own! I went on my first road trip to Nebraska to visit daddy's family in June. I have been taking swim lessons in June & July. I just love the water. Mommy says it's the Scorpio in me. I can say: hi, hey, kitty, and dada with no prompt. I can repeat: thank you, gentle, and doggie. No mama yet! Mommy is waiting for that day, but I am saving the best for last! :) I have been having so much fun since mommy has had the summer off. We have been spending a lot of time together reading books and being silly. Below is a little clip of me standing up and taking a few steps hanging onto the couch. Excuse my whininess, but this is what happens when I don't take a super long afternoon nap. ;)
