My first word

The little one is just beginning to walk on her own.  Just in the past couple of weeks, we have watched in wonder and joy as she stands up from a sitting position, and then gingerly makes her way around the room, holding on to anything that's stable enough to provide guidance.

She loves to 'go shopping' with the miniature cart, and all of her environment is now a place of discovery.  Even as the big people in her world must now change their way of seeing things, including clearing tables of anything that might be the fragile, or anything that's small enough to find its way into her mouth, perhaps the greatest pleasure happens when the telephone conversation is complete, and her one word is spoken:

'Bye'.

If you're in the same room, you might even catch a glmpse of her hand waving.  I can't wait to see what's possible when she gets more familiar with modern technology and can chat by video conference.
