Crazy Child!

Hannah is absolutely nuts! We have all these fantastic toys for her that are barely used. Her swing and bouncy chair and bumpo and exersaucer are all useless already as she hates to be contained. Even her regular toys are usually ignored. The only thing she loves, loves, is furniture or anything she can use to pull up on. I can put her in the middle of the floor surrounded by toys, but in a jiffy she's at the couch pulling herself up to standing. She's even begun cruising along it with small faltering steps. What the Babycenter milestones list puts as an advanced skill for an 8-month old, Hannah has mastered at 6 1/2.

Here she is in three different rooms in the house finding something on which to pull up. She especially loves the still-unhung mirror in our hallway--it has slobbery kissing marks all over it.
