My friend's day care was shut down for a couple of weeks due to medical appointments, trying to get her Special Needs son into an appropriate school, and power outages.
I had not seen Harper and my other littlie friends for half a month! When last I saw Harper, she was walking while holding my hand, and could stand on he own for about ten seconds, but could not yet walk on her own.
Since then, she has turned 11-months-old. When she saw me today, her eyes lit up, and she WALKED over to me with her arms outstretched. I was happy, but I also wish I had seen her first steps. She spent most of the hour I was there on my lap, hugging me, but she also climbed down to explore her environment.
She can now play peek-a-boo, using her hands to cover her eyes, and laughing when she removes them. She doesn't say "pee-boo" yet, but I predict she will soon.
I am off to Guitar Center soon for my "epic day" (Wednesday). Wish me survival. The day is off to a loving start.

Oh, nice! I had wondered how she was doing. I'm glad she seems to be doing fine. And that you got to "visit" with her today.
Have fun at work tonight, pony...
