As of this weekend, Reese is able to walk in a circle, something she finds very humorous.  She recognizes so many words now...yesterday she went and got her ladybug book, her ball, her balloon, and her sippy cup when I asked for them.  She obviously understands the word bottle, because she sticks her tongue out and pants when I say the word!

She is very helpful these days.  She brings her toys to us, helps empty out the dishwasher, empty the dryer, and bring me the laundry that needs to be folded.  She has found her voice in the past few weeks, so she spends a lot of her walking time screaming and jabbering loudly.

She loves to climb onto her rocking chair & onto the fireplace.  Yesterday afternoon she fell face-first off the fireplace.  A little while later, she climbed into her rocking chair and I taught her how to scoot to the edge to get back down.  She quickly applied this to the fireplace and was scooting to the edge and standing by nighttime.  This required lots of clapping each time she did it.  She is a little daredevil and can't be left alone on the couch or she'll climb right off the edge.  She also learned yesterday how to climb onto her tricycle and push herself forward a few feet, just awhile before she taught herself to stand on the seat!
