her majesty eats

yesterday lela decided it was time for her to pick up the finger foods on her tray.  before she would just stare at them, *sometimes* reaching for one and then just throwing it on her lap or the ground.  well, yesterday she picked them up and put them in her mouth.  :)  i love seeing progress.

today she started hoisting herself up to all fours and doing the little booty rock.  we'll see how long it takes her to go into a full blown crawl now, rather than the dead man's crawl she's mastered.

she's taken to reading books on her own now too... flipping the pages and looking at the pictures that is.  she bellies herself over to the area in her room where all her books are and starts digging for the one she wants.  she'll "read" it and then go through about ten more, all before she gets distracted by the wood grain of the chair leg or the fibers of the rug.
