Elsie Milestones

Elsie is now 9.5 months old, and can do some pretty exciting stuff.

* She's basically a crawler. She'll crawl with determination towards something that she really wants, and gets around surprisingly quickly at other times through a combination of crawling, scooting and rolling.

* She pulls herself up onto her knees and has just in the past couple of days started trying to pull up a bit further.

* She definitely calls Daddy "dada" now. It is her favourite babbling word as well, but you can tell when she uses it especially to refer to him.

* We think she's trying to say "cat". Whenever the cat is around she says something sort of like "dat". I'm almost prepared to count it as her first word!
