And Next She'll Ask for Unlimited Text Messaging

Yesterday Maggie figured out how to get from a laying into a sitting position. That's not entirely true, but yesterday is when the concept actually stuck. She did sit up on her own a couple weeks ago when she was playing with Chad but forgot after that one evening. Yesterday, however, she remembered, and sat up for most of the day and much of this morning. Who wants to lay down all the time, right? That's so February 2010...

One new skill at a time, I told her earlier this afternoon. There's no need to rush things. But she was having none of that. I think maybe she took it as a challenge, actually, and wracked her brain to figure out something else that would change her world. And that skill, she decided, would be crawling. She's still getting the hang of it and has only done a total of oh, 15 steps or so, but she's definitely on the move. I'm thinking maybe this one will be like her last skill where she forgets about it for a couple weeks before picking it up again. Holy canoli, wish us luck!
