Yes, there is a video today, but not the one I've been intending to make for the past month commemorating our summer vacation.
Instead, here's some footage from today, taken by SAM after school.
I came home this afternoon to an empty living room covered with the detritus of Sarah's pocketbook scattered all over the floor, and the camera lying nearby.
When I finally found mom giving Margaret a bath, Sarah said, "My wallet is her new favorite toy."
And how it is. Luckily, SAM caught some footage of the deconstruction of her wallet.
Basically, it's just two minutes of her pulling out the contents of Sarah's wallet, while sitting on the couch, but I figure since there hasn't been a video in awhile, this would serve as well as anything to show her recent growth. Look at those legs!
She continues to impress us with her advances. She continues to get more steady on her feet, and has just learned to "cruise" from one surface to another (say, bookshelf to couch) now. Not very far, but she can do it. It's cute to see her reach out to another object while holding onto the first, then negotiating the changeover by letting go of the first object and then almost falling into the next.
Her coordination and dexterity are also improving. You can see it somewhat with how she's handling Sarah's wallet, but it is more apparent during mealtimes when she is better and better at getting the food, actually in her mouth.
Also, I as per E's request, I've finally pulled out a number of photos of Margaret swinging so people could get an idea of how much she's grown in the past couple of months. You've probably seen them all before, but unfortunately, I don't have new photos of Margaret from this week yet.
I've posted them with their dates in chronological order below. There are only a few months worth, but the changes seem pretty major from April to just a couple of weeks ago.
Enjoy!

brilliant! thanks. I love the glimpse of teeth in that last photo... hugs all around.
What an awesome post! I love seeing Margaret in action. The chronology of the swing pictures is incredible as well. What a treat!
Ohmygosh, there was one more that I hadn't seen! LOVE the wallet video. Would love to have watched the rest of the dismemberment..
The last swing picture is so striking because of her teeth! She is looking so much older, especially as we enjoy all of her gains through the video clips. Thank you so much! Do you know how great these are to the rest of us? XXOO
