Melanie has been learning to wave "bye-bye" lately, and while at first it was very sporadic (and drawn out), it seems she's starting to learn the actual event at which waving is called for. For instance, we walked into the dining room of a restaurant on Sunday, and she waved "Hello" to everyone! "Hello - I'm Melanie, and it's time to start the party!" I think was her exact message. When prompted, she now waves at anything - the cat, her reflection in the mirror, the ceiling fan....she was doing some additional practicing in the back-seat mirror yesterday on the way home from daycare.

This morning, Mel was playing on our bedroom floor, and I was lying in bed (not sleeping - just watching her play). She kept trying to get back into the corner with the power strip and multiple cords. Every time she moved that way, I would say "Melanie" or "Melanie, no." She would stop every time and look at me, then start playing with something else. Now, I know that she doesn't really know what that means yet (nor will she LISTEN to that command for the next 18 years!) - but it was still interesting to see her continuing to respond to words.

Over the weekend, Mel took a couple of unsupported steps (one each time) - by 2009, this kid may be walking!

I should ask Mel how she gets her hair to stand up like that! I'm thinking that's the look I'll go for on the wedding day! :)
