Mobility

At the beginning of the month, she learned to pull herself up and stand upright without holding onto anything.  Didn't do it very frequently after that, though.

She can crawl increasingly faster through the month.  At the beginning, she stopped every few feet to reexamine.  Now she zooms along.  She searches for vertical surfaces to use for pulling herself up.

Eating

She's loving Cheerios, crackers, and cookies.  She's in a C phase.

Sleeping

Through the month, she's become better at falling asleep by herself.
