Aven's New Skills

Our bright little monkey amazes us daily with her new "superpowers".
With her upper-body strength (thanks Dad) and her long limbs (thanks Mom), she's started to drag herself farther and farther across the floor.
But in the last few days, Aven has also started to crawl. Not great distances, mind you. But itty bitty bursts of mobility.
She is quite proud of this partcular skill.
Here she goes!....
BANG! Okay, she still needs some practice.
Aven contemplates what went wrong.
And then she's up again ... and smiling! In other superpowers news, Aven is repeating "Da Da" quite consistently (although not always directed at Daddy). She also loves to wave good bye when prompted by someone else's gesture, and she has even repeated "bye bye" a few times.
