Thinking Outside the Box...

But Standing in One!






This morning Evvie woke up later than usual. After nursing she still seemed cranky so I offered her more breakfast. After polishing off 10 oz of yogurt and a slice of soy cheese I thought that this change in her routine was fairly dramatic and might signal something. Something might happen today.

What happened was that Evvie suddenly became willing and eager to stand without holding on to anything. She took several steps several times today at grandma's house while holding hands-which she had previously been unwilling to do (usually with a look of- "hey, I can crawl WAY faster than this!"). Something's clicked. Something's changed. It's fascinating to watch. Today she woke up ready to try.

So that's it. She's thirteen months old, and although still not walking, she made huge steps today (pun intended).
