eat your heart out, Mozart...


...you have some competition! Here's our own little prodigy.

It's been super cold here the last several days. We haven't gone out much. She has another cold, and Mommy's and Daddy's are still lingering around, too. Yuck. When will this end?

She continues to stand for longer intervals, and today she kind of took a step--twice! I say kind of because as soon as she stepped out, she fell down, but she really did try to step! She'll be there before too long.

Her newest passion is clapping. She's been clapping since Christmas Eve, but not very often. Now she crawls, sits up, looks around, and claps a few times, and then does the whole process again. She also likes to clap in her highchair. This is all well and good until Mommy's trying to spoon a bite of squash in her mouth and she claps her hands together with the loaded spoon in between her hands! Yes, this happened yesterday. Squash went everywhere. It happened again today with oatmeal. Yum! And today she was really fussy, even while she was eating (this is rare--she's decided she likes eating now, most of the time), so she was crying (with real tears and everything) while I was trying to feed her. All of a sudden she started clapping. I said, "Most people don't clap while they're crying, sweetie." She didn't seem to care. She kept on clapping and crying. It was pretty funny. I had to contend with both as I navigated the spoon from the bowl to her mouth. I was lucky any of it ended up in her mouth.

Stay warm, everyone!
