And....she's up.

Cordelia has apparently been practicing a new skill in her crib, because here's what I saw today.

She was extremely pleased with herself. And when Cody leaned in to smooch her, the giggles began.


This was preceded by a mere two days of effort, bridging up like a young Mary Lou Retton.

She's incredibly agile and strong. But I am secretly dreading the walking. Well, not so secretly. She became bored with crawling after about 2 days and only does it now when she really, really wants to reach food something. The problem is that so many of Cody's toys have little tiny parts...so I have to go back into vigilance mode, because to Cordelia, tree bark, razors, plants, and chair legs are all tasty. Also, it's been such a surprise and pleasure to have a child who, well, sits still. For long periods of time. Occupying herself quietly with her toys. I don't want this to change! : )
