Maggie's discovered nine! Now when she counts it goes "6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 8, 10, 11..." instead of "6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 8, 10, 11...". Very exciting over here. She's also had a few more successful poops in the toilet. And she can pretty much eat an entire meal by herself using a fork. Then today while I was shoveling the driveway, she entertained herself the entire time by walking around the bushes and eating handfuls of snow. Remember these days when it was a big deal she could sit up?
Since we drove down to Albuquerque this weekend and since she slept for the 15 miles between Aztec and Bloomfield, we got to watch a lot of movies and shows in the car. (Thank you lPad!) I had to spend a good piece of time consoling her after a character dropped a teddy bear in the river and went sailing on down toward gooey geyser. That's my girl; empathetic and sweet. My favorite, though, was at the end of "The Little Mermaid" when the couple shares a romantic Disney kiss at their wedding. A little voice says to me, "Man eating Ariel lady's chin, Mama."
