Baby Steps

Things have been pretty exciting around here. Aside from minor DIY around the house, little Melita Moo is growing up fast. Once our little monkey perfected climbing up and down steps, she decided she should master getting off of furniture we put her on. The couch, no problem! The chaise lounge, easy! Our gigantic bed, piece of cake! We have to watch her 300% more now because she is quick and nimble like Houdini. Reagan actually 'lost' her in the house this morning. Talk about giving someone a heart attack! Another one of her favorite things to do is climb under and through tables and chairs around the house. Her current favorite play spot is under the stool by our front door. She chills for hours in her little fort watching the world go by. With all of this climbing, we knew walking was just around the corner. Well, we've reached that corner. She's not walking marathons (yet) and she still resembles a drunk Frankenstein, but she can go short distances without holding onto anything. When she finally does plop down on her bottom, she squeals and claps her hands. I wish I had pictures or (even better) a video, but this kid is fast. And a ham. When she hears the camera beep on, she stops whatever she is doing and poses. I have no idea where she gets that from.
