The blue onesie on her, I mean. I was calling her "Cookie Monster" this morning in Chinese - "Bing Gan Guai Wu."
Here she is, happy as a clam this morning. The first photo is of her trying to charm her mom (who is sitting in the chair) out of her breakfast toast, whereas the second one (below) is of her with her toys after breakfast.
Margaret is really enjoying standing these days, and can now cruise from one end of the couch to the other while holding on to the couch. I saw this performed for me this morning as she started from one end and wound up on the other in pursuit of a colorful business card I had left on the couch last night.
Very fun.
She's also enjoying eating. This morning's breakfast consisted of two cubes (an ice cube's worth of frozen pureed food) of papaya, one of apple, three of pear (plus wheat germ), a stick of string cheese and half a Chinese vegetable bun.
She would have kept eating, but I decided to stop her after the experience of a couple of days ago when a combination of overfeeding and choking on a bagel caused her to lose her entire breakfast into her bib.
Thank goodness for Daisy because without her, I'm not sure I could have still gotten to work on time.
The flip side was that I discovered how incredibly much she does eat. Up until that point, I was constantly scared of underfeeding her. After seeing the sheer volume of what came out, that fear is no longer.

She makes waking up in the morning all worth while doesn't she?
Delicious!...not the morning breakfast in the bib...the little person. Oh my, she is so beguiling, and your commentary so funny! Joannie's right. We can just imagine the spirit and joy of these mornings. :-) Thanks!
Was it not just a month ago that you two marveled at Celeste standing on the beach? And look where M is now! Yahoo!
Have you noticed that as she uses her limbs more, they seem to grow/lengthen proportionally?
Hope the school year's off to a good start.
