Just a few things to report. On January 22, Ashley started taking a few steps on her own. Daddy and I practice with her almost every night. He will hold Ashley and have her walk to me, and vice versa. Often she takes a step and then dives to us, but on the 22nd she took a 3-4 steps without the dive. Since then she continues to. In fact tonight Matt called me in because she took 4 good steps from him to her little chair. It won't be long now!
She has also really started walking around the whole house--she moves from furniture to the walls and scales the whole downstairs. Yesterday she walked around the whole house holding a pair of her pants, then today she carried toys around. It's cute.
She continues to point (and recognize) more and more around the house. It's neat to see how much she is learning.
She also continues to mimic. Matt swears she said "yes daddy" last week. She also has been saying "cookie" a lot (or at least it sounds like it, although I don't know what she's referring to since we haven't offered her cookies or said the word to her).
Our friends Jen, and Jim and their kids Lily (3 1/2) and Emma (9 1/2 months) came to visit this past weekend. We had lots of fun with them. Lily enjoyed playing with Ashley and reporting what she was doing. Ashley and Emma didn't interact too much together yet, they played around each other a lot though and did have some cute moments. We had a really fun visit though.
