Talking a Little More & About to Crawl

Ayla has started to make more sounds that mirror talking.  She's so cute.  She puts her little finger in her mouth and says "Yie, Yie, Yie, Yie..."  I think she's probably going to say "Da-Da" before "Ma Ma" too. 

Ayla is also getting so close to crawling!  She can go from a sitting position to a belly position and then back to a sitting position.  She's strong enough to crawl, but it seems that she can't quite figure out how to move forward yet.  Lately, she goes from her knees and pushes up to her feet like a bear walk.  She doesn't go anywhere, but she's working on it!  It's going to happen soon, I know it.  And I'll be pretty sad if she decides to do it at daycare first.  :-)

Here are a few action shots of the emerging crawler herself!
