She napped for exactly one hour and then woke herself up by accidentally banging her head into the crib rails. Hard. Before she was ready to wake up at all. I managed to get her to doze in the sling for another twenty minutes, but it still felt like a very inadequate nap.

In the sixty seconds it took me to go to the bathroom, she figured out how to get the top off the Vaseline jar.

She emptied a Ziploc bag full of Cheerios all over the living room floor.

She continued to have tragedy fits, and ignored about 60% of her dinner.

She pretended to feed her doll some Cheerios, which is the first time I've ever seen her pretend. To a psychologist, that's a major milestone, although it may not seem exciting to anyone else.

And!

She took about four steps without holding on to anything - a new personal record, and the first unsupported steps that were clearly differentiable from a controlled fall forward.

Walking! (A little bit, at least.)

Well, I'm not a psychologist, and I think pretending is almost unbelievable, it's such a complicated thing to do. I mean, it seems normal now, but if I sit down and think about it, I almost fall over with the complexity of it.

Linnea's first pretend was also that a toy was a baby, FWIW.

And, heh, walking. Now she can get around with a dangerous object in each hand. Next, stairs!
