Milestones

I'm so proud of myself! I am learning so much. I took a couple very wobbly steps on my own today before someone had to catch me. It was so exciting! I'd probably be walking by now if I wasn't so excited. My diving attempts have me bouncing and giggling more often than stepping. But watch out, when my feet catch up with my enthusiasm, I can guarantee I'll be running!

I've also started blowing kisses. At bedtime my parents always help me blow kisses to the rest of my family and I love it. But I would never, ever do it on my own. I think it was because I knew they would eventually do it for me. If they give me the idea when it's not really bedtime, then I'll blow kisses all on my own.

A new fun game that I learned is to use the hammer and pound to make the balls roll down in the Hammer Away boat. My hand eye coordination is really great! Plus I'm fast and I can reach farther than you would think, which can sometimes make for trouble. But I have learned quickly to keep my hands to myself when my parents are holding me and trying to do something like eat or drink or cook. I know that if I want to be held, I have to look and not touch.
