tricks up her sleeve

At 9 1/2 months old Emilia is able to do a number of things including the following:
say "mamamama" and "dadadada" most of the time associating "mama" with myself. "dada" she just says to everything else pretty much.
clap her hands (this is a new skill and one we've worked hard on)
pull up on your fingers and "walk/toddle"
sit down from a standing position (with some assistance).
hold her sippy cup on her own.
feed herself finger foods (pieces of dehydrated fruit, rice crackers, etc).
suck her thumb (an important trait among the Serranos!)
scoot towards something while sitting on her bottom or on her tummy.
roll over (an expert at this!)

Any day now she will begin to crawl. She can get herself into an all-fours position for about a second from a sitting position but she has yet to figure out how to move herself. It makes me so sad to think about how quickly she's growing now. I could just burst in to tears at how my Puchis is getting so big... I feel like tomorrow she'll be going off to college. :(
