Baby No More

Something changed for Ellie last week.  Thursday was different than all her previous days.  Her actions were very intentional and she was aware of herself and surroundings in a way I have never seen before.  She knew what things (food, toys) she wanted and which ones she didn't.  She explored the household landscape and picked up non-toys that she never noticed to that point.

I say it's the day she left babyhood.  She looks, acts the part of a toddler now. 

I see the walking legs coming online.  Yesterday she stood unsupported and balanced for at least 20 seconds.  So I know the skill is there.  But Ellie is not someone to be rushed.  She likes to do things on her own timeline.  And shows quite a bit of resistance to being pushed.

Only one more month until the big ONE (haha, the first birthday that is)!
