The Heidi-bug hit some big milestones in the past month. She has started walking independently pretty much all the time now. She has been able to take steps since before her birthday but she wasn't interested in walking. Until now. She wants to walk everywhere. And generally she enjoys holding my hand. Unless she sees Allison running off - then sticking with Mommy is torture!
She also has started saying 'Hi!' with regularity and appropriately. And it would melt your heart. I never realized how often I say 'hi' to her until she started saying it back. She has no problem communicating her demands and 'No!' even without words so I'm thankful her first word is so sweet. She is also saying 'mamamama' and 'dadadadada' often now, too, and we think we're seeing glimpses of signing. It is quite the adventure to watch her communication skills expand.
She is growing up so fast - I was lucky enough to get to snuggle with her TWICE this weekend as she went down for naps in Bend. She is quite the little darling when she is sleeping. And determined whirlwind when she is awake!
