I’m sorry I’m still not posting pictures. The battery in my camera is dead, and I lost the charger. Fear not! Another charger is winging its way (or rolling its way) here as we speak, so I promise to post many cute pictures and videos soon. In the mean time I thought I would give you a little update about what Reese is doing.

While still not walking around, she takes more and more steps. While I was eating lunch today, she cruised herself around the table a few times, and she’s not shy at all about taking three or four steps between two pieces of furniture. Everyone who sees her says “She’ll be walking any day now!” and I just nod and smile. People have been saying that for over a month now.

Brian and I took her to a little playground on Saturday. Reese has always been brave - climbing up stairs, allowing me to send her down the slide on her belly with her feet first. Saturday reached whole new heights of bravery, though. After climbing up nearly vertical stairs to the top of a nine foot slide, she saw me and the bottom and promptly got down on her belly and slid down face first! After that, we let her climb up again and she did it a few more times. Brave girl!

She talks to herself all the time now, and her new favorite sound is a very loose “b” with some lip buzzing. Actually, when we were over at my friend Stephanie’s house, Stephanie kept turning to me and asking “did she just say _________?” She was repeating a lot of what I would say in her own way, including “quesadilla” “wow” and “oopps.” It’s fun to hear her say things in her little voice.

So, hopefully the next time I post, it will be with pictures!
