Watching baby play

I'm sitting here watching my 5-month-old play on her blanket in the living room. She starts off lying on her back but rolls to her tummy so swiftly that you would think she'd been rolling like that all of her life. She has soft squishy blocks spread out around the edges of the blanket, and she reaches out to grab two of them and bring them to her mouth. She squeals and gnaws on one one and then reaches out for the other.

Only recently has she played so well on her own (for a few minutes, anyway). Only recently has she really started grabbing for toys intentionally instead of just happening to hit them as she flails her arms. It's pretty amazing to watch her develop. I predict she'll be crawling sometime in the next 2 months. She already brings her knees up and puts her bum in the air as if she's trying to figure out how to get into the crawling position. She's a bright little girl, and I'm sure she can't wait to be doing all of the fun things she sees her sister doing all the time.
