She is now eating solids three times a day, rolls all over the floor to get to where she wants (we prefer the rug, she prefers the hardwoods!), and can sit up on her own with us close by. She is trying so hard to crawl, but manages to cruise backwards instead of forward. She smiles and laughs all the time and reacts to most of the routine things we mention - eating, bath, jumperoo, etc. She LOVES her bath (had gone through a short phase a while back where she didn't) and splashes water all over - and it doesn't phase her when water gets in her eyes and face. I can't wait to see her on the beaches in the Caribbean in a couple of weeks!
Of course, there are still some things we're working on with her - getting her to enjoy her vegetables as much as her fruits; not to whine like a puppy when we walk out of the room for a minute or two; she is still scared of people coughing/sneezing/laughing/sniffling/blowing their nose ... sometimes it makes us laugh, and then that scares her too; she enjoys quietly lying down on the couch with Tigger and Pooh on the tv for her naps ... which means she hates going down in her crib when I try and usually ends up back on the couch.
They say you can't spoil a baby this age - I disagree. I shower her with songs, dance, and attention ALL day every day, so if she isn't entertained for a few minutes - she lets me know she's not happy about it! She is a character and we love all of it as she forms her own personality.
