And finally some footage!

This footage was taken the day after the last post, but was edited today.

This morning I took off all of Alena's clothes, because she had dirtied them. As per usual, she was playing before I got her dressed again. (I just can't handle making her cry by taking her clothes off and not giving her a break before I make her cry by putting her clothes on, at least not when I have the entire day before anyone is going to see her.) So, she was playing and she found her church shoes and brought them to me one at a time for me to put them on her. She's really into shoes these days.

She's also into moving things from room to room. She used to have to do a gimp crawl to carry something into another room, but now that she's walking, not so. So I find all kinds of things in strange places, like one of my shoes in the drawer in the kitchen, or several markers in the drawer in the bathroom. She really enjoys drawers. She likes to pull everything out. She does clean up after herself, only she puts things away where they don't go. For instance, pulling all her clean clothes out of her basket and moving them into the hamper.

Needless to say, we really enjoy having her around. In fact, she's my favorite baby ever.
