Looking so cute in her Zutano outfit

The state of our little family, in the style of Time Magazine’s Milestones section. Just because.

Expanding: Pooky’s vocabulary. We can no longer keep track of all the words she knows. Alas, she tends to favor some more than others, particularly “mine” and “no.” She can never resist pointing out every baby she sees (including her own reflection) with an exuberant “Baba!”

Honked: My nose, repeatedly. One of Pooky’s favorite new games is to grab my nose and make her version of a honking sound. I suppose my big schnozzola is more fun to play with than May’s little button nose. I guess I’ll take my victories where I can.

Finally poking through: Another pair of teeth. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity for the first pair, we had to wait forever again for the second pair. I’d really like to get this whole teething thing over with.

Wobbly: Pooky’s first steps. She’s gone a couple of paces successfully a few times, but that’s about her limit at the moment. I think she could do more if she wasn’t so compelled to lunge headlong into the first available lap.
