BYE

I love this little video of Annika. She is getting to be such a big girl. I first noticed her saying, "bye," which sounded more like, "baaaa," a week or two ago when we were downstairs and Nolan left. She said it over and over again and I finally realized what she was saying. So, now Annika loves to stand on this little footstool in front of the window and say, "bye" every other second as you can see. She's been talking a lot more in the last few days since I've been trying to give her the binky only during naps and bedtime. So, there's been a lot more screaming, wailing, and noise in our house lately, but hopefully it'll be worth it. Annika took her first steps by herself yesterday. I was walking her around outside and she saw the kitty and walked out of my hands to go see the kitty. So, now I KNOW she can do this! We'll see if she'll do more today. I just need a distraction for her.
