Toddlerhood!

After 6 months of comfortable cruising, our little infant has finally graduated to toddlerhood!!! Credit needs to be given to the ducks around our block - she loves to gaze at the ducks and when she is entranced, she forgets to hold onto my hand and ends up standing for a minute or more on her own. And after that, she gradually gained enough confidence to walk while holding onto our hand(s), and then on her own - again, getting to see the ducks was an incentive for her. Now, she's toddling around the house more and more to get from toy to toy or place to place. It's endearingly amusing how she toddles around while carrying Miffy in her left hand and sucking her right thumb. I suppose they offer her security while she's mastering a new skill!
