Cecilia here, sharing with you what I have learned this week:
1. If you give me a lollipop, it will end up in my hair, then I'll drop it so it can be covered in dog hair. But, I'll still want to eat it.
2. Water fascinates me, especially the water in the dog's bowl. And, it tastes good, too. I know, because I've put my mouth in it.
3. I love playing with water in the bathtub - until you try to put me in it. Then I'll scream through the entire bath. Don't put me in the sink either. I'll just stand there and scream.
4. Now that I can walk, I can get all sorts of new bumps and bruises.
5. Walking is fun, because now I'm taller than Toby.
6. Snow is weird. It's OK to walk in, but not to crawl in. It does taste good, though!
7. I want to feed myself, but only if you put the food on the fork for me. And yes, it's still going in my hair, my nose, my eyes...
8. Playing recorder is great. Now if I can only figure out how to play more than one note.
9. I do not like being in my stroller when a hailstorm hits. I get all wet.
10. Taking a nap while people are building a house outside my window just doesn't work.
Love to everybody. Mom says she'll post some more pictures soon!

Look Who's Walking!
She took her most convincing steps today. It was this morning after her nap, and with a little enticing from her otter puppet. We are so excited! She can't get to her feet on her own yet, but once she's on her feet, she's gone! It's progressing pretty well. She started walking in a straight line. Now she turns, and has even done a circuit from the living room, to the dining room and through the kitchen.
This afternoon we went to the doctor's office to get my left ear irrigated (I can hear again, yay!) She was all over the place - pushing the doctor's stool, climbing onto the step on the examining table. We had a celebratory dinner at Ruby Tuesday, where she proceeded to walk up and down the aisle.
Yesterday was Cecilia's first experience with snow. I don't think she was quite sure about it, but she wanted to walk.

There are more pictures in the "January 2008" photo album to the right. Enjoy!

A Day of Firsts
This morning, Cecilia woke up at 7:30-ish. She had her morning bottle, a big bowl of rice cereal and a big bowl of applesauce. And, her top right tooth poked through today. That brings the grand tooth total to three.
Two days ago, she fed herself with her own fork, right side up and everything. Sorry, just had to add that.
We had a great morning. She took a 90 minute nap, then we headed into school. Lunch was at Qdoba, where she shared some of my burrito and Chris' tacos. She was still pretty full from breakfast, I guess, since she didn't eat much.
Ceci played in the band office compound, going between my office (which I share), Brad's office, and Chris' office. Nichole came at 3:oo to take her home. While we were talking, Cecilia went from Nichole to me - walking!! She took about 5 steps.
We were in shock, then I screamed for Chris. I never saw him move so fast. He thought something terrible had happened - I was just overly excited. She took a few steps for her daddy, then she was DONE! I think my outburst scared her. We tried to get it on video, but no dice.
Chris and I stayed for band rehearsals, while Ceci and Nichole headed to the library, then home. It was such a big day for the little lady that she melted down at dinner and went to bed at 7pm. Just too much to take in.
Once we get video of her walking, we'll post it.
Yay!!!

Four Statements for 2008
1-I will start posting again. After the initial shock of beginning 4 online classes and 2 other "traditional" classes this week, I think panic mode is over
2-I will get the Christmas pictures up tomorrow. I just keep forgetting.
3-I will tell you that Cecilia almost has more teeth. It's probably going to be the top front teeth, with the two on either side close behind. I'd take a picture, but the little buds probably wouldn't be visible.
4-Love to all of you, and a belated Happy New Year!
