Shake it
Lillian is so ready to walk, in her own view at least. She spent most of the evening yesterday practicing the trick of doing various unrelated things while standing up unaided, like brandishing a pen or applauding herself. Her feet still stay planted, although at especially bold moments she will try a step or two with just one hand on something. When she crawls, her feet now get more action than her knees. It’s pretty impressive how fast she scuttles along with her butt in the air, straining to hold her head up so she can see what’s ahead. The main trick she learned while she was away with her mom last week was the affirmative nod. She mastered the “no” head-shake a while ago, but didn’t feel it necessary to try nodding until she began to gather that there is some semiotic content to the direction of shake.
