Still Not Crawling!!

Well, still no crawling but it sure doesn't seem to slow her down any! She's pulling up and sitting back down like a pro and her favorite position seems to be sitting on her knees. She pulls up in her play yard and creeps along the wall to wherever she wants to be. We still have to make sure she has shoes on or keep a very close eye on her in there or she climbs the wall! She has a big peek-a-blocks activity block in there with toys and she's figuring out how to make it play music and is always SO pleased with herself when she does!
She's doing finger foods now. She eats lots of rice puffies (puffed rice cereal) and still likes her rice rusk crackers. She can do banana, pear and peach pieces but not very well yet as they tend to get away from her. She had some little bites of my french fries the other day too and thought that was pretty yummy. She's working on lots of food with more texture. She eats oatmeal with fork mashed fruit in it most mornings for breakfast instead of pureed fruit and likes cottage cheese but we're still working on adjusting to the texture of the egg yolks. She's already for Thanksgiving as she LOVES sweet potatoes, cranberries and mashed potatoes (made with yogurt instead of milk.)
She's had a nasty cold for the last couple days and has been coughing, sniffling and not sleeping well at all. She finally seems to be doing a little bit better today. She's coughing a little less but still has a very runny nose. We've been putting a kid's mentholated vapor plug-in in her room at night and that seems to help her breathe a little better.
Since we're not going to get her to the pumpkin patch this year we took pictures of her at home with a baby pumpkin (which she's going to be eating this week) and a fake pumpkin that we had here. She thought that was LOTS of fun, other than the picture part. She wanted to get down and creep around on the floor instead!
