I'm walking...

  

HG took a few independent steps today. A few times she took two steps in a row from a free standing start, and once she took three steps from a free standing start. As they say a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step...

As you can see HG continues to hone her reading skills, she has now progressed from children's books to regular newspapers. Good thing she is starting to talk.

She spends far more time with her books than any of her toys, continually taking them of her shelf and flipping through them, often asking to be read to as well, though she can spend long periods of time by herself "studying" her books.

OK, we don't think she can actually read the words, but she does usually seem to know which way up to hold her book or newspaper, and when today Ima said to her jokingly "read your book" or "read your newspaper" she seemed to know what to do.

She still seems to be pretty effecient at tearing up newspapers as well though.
