this morning naima decided to wake up at 5, simply to roll around and take pictures on my phone.

she is officially a toddler. she will take a couple of wild steps that usually end up crashing into the arms of whoever is outstretched. yesterday she was standing up against an ottoman, my mom shouts, "she walking!" and lo, she is standing a step or two away with a proud grin on. she promptly squealed, and fell on her bum.

she's also figured out the fork thing. she can stab her desired food, and then put it in her mouth. this has also inspired a donkey-like stubbornness to not be fed by anyone else. needless to say i wash my kitchen floor a lot these days.
