Walking and other stuff

On Sunday Mary took her first step from the coffee table to the couch. Then yesterday she took another step trying to get to someones hands to help her walk. I don't think she realized that she wasn't holding on to anything. But she is so close to walking. She can definitely stand up by herself. Sometimes she gets nervous though and just sits down when you stop holding onto her. She walks when she can hold onto you. Her 1st birthday is in 3 weeks. Maybe she'll be walking by then.

She points to things now though and says, "mmmm" when she likes something. She defintely says, "KKKKK" for kitty. (It comes out as a gutteral clearing of the throat sound.) She loves bananas in the morning and yogurt. We're doing better with sleeping through the night too.

We've been sleep training this week and I've stopped nursing her at night and stopped rocking her to sleep. She's sleeping better and eating more during the day now. Which in turn helps her sleep through the night when she eats her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I've also stopped nursing her on command. I only nurse her in the early morning, at naptime, and after her bath. That's actually helped her eat more too.

And on a side note. She still wears some size 2 shoes and she's actually growing into size 3 now. She has little feet for sure. She's also 19 lbs 10 oz incase you were wondering and I'll get a measurement on her height soon.
