Today's final Alex rundown.
Mar. 29th, 2006 10:27 pmShe 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.)

Also, I would still like to send Alex a crocheted bungle bee, if you would like to e-mail me a snail-mail address.
