Margaret just keeps getting more and more fun, with new expressions, new skills and just more of everything (including more of her).
She's more fun to carry now because she puts an arm around our necks now. She's more fun to watch because she will do things now that SHE thinks are fun, often with hilarious results. She's just all around more rewarding to be around because she is so able to make her opinion known and she definitely has an opinion on everything.
The above was taken on Sunday morning after breakfast. She's started crawling into the toy box now, after discovering that she likes siting "in" things (starting with the suitcases). We're cheating here because I put her in it on Sunday morning, but she totally loved being pushed around in the toy basket like she was having a go-cart ride. Unfortunately, I got tired of it before she did, but that didn't stop her from getting out and pushing it around herself, using it as sort of a walker.
There's video which I'll try to post after I convert it sometime this week after I get home.
She changes so quickly, it's hard to keep up.
*sigh*

You are wonderful, John! Thank you for giving us these glimpses of your life, especially when neither you nor the other family loved ones are at home!
I can just imagine exactly what M was like in the basket and just what she must have looked like pushing it all around. That exploration and experimentation are magic. My wonderment is that a child so young can be so incredibly tuned in and so actively connected to her world. Think what she has absorbed in less than a year! Imagine what she will learn in the NEXT year! It boggles the mind- but in an awe-inspiring way. :-)
SAM, I don't know whether you see this in V or not, but I can totally see the little you in M's face. It's pretty amazing, really. I keep digging to see if I can find the photo that this or that reminds me of, but never can... alas. John, do your sibs/friends say the same thing?
