Reaching High

Magda is starting to get focused on height. She still doesn't stand or walk on her own, but she is oh-so-close. Her favorite activity is to demand "Go, go!" and to walk around while holding on to your hands. Yesterday, after Jfer's prompting, she stood up and actually walked with her walker on her own -- in the past she'd always been pushing it on her knees.

She also likes climbing on the couch and the big red chair. Something that Jfer, for some irresponsible reason, is encouraging. She needs help to make it up but is getting pretty good about laying down on her belly and sliding down feet first on her own.

Outdoors, her new fun activity is holding Homer's leash and letting him pull her in the stroller. She'd like to do the same with Rose but can't quite handle her acceleration.

And finally, she's started stacking blocks. We have little wooden cubes with letters on them that we stack into tall towers and let her destroy. The other night I cought her amids her blocks, stacking them three-high and then pushing them over. I can't wait for her to be old enough to get started on KAPLA.
