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)!
