Lately Aitugan has been making great strides towards standing on her own. Several times now she has managed to crawl up to this ball, get herself to her knees and then stand all by herself, though most times she still needs a helping finger to pull up on.
She still loves the mirror and has no trouble moving between locating things in the mirror and then finding them behind her.
She delights in things like the slides in the playroom. Anything that involves counting adeen, dvah, tree (1, 2, 3 in Russian), gets her wound up. She springs her legs to the count and anticipates the action of 3 with a big grin. It is very captivating. I like to think she is daddy's little girl, though KJ would probably disagree.
How could I ever deny those eyes!
As the photos lately have begun to show, everyday she seems more and more relaxed in our presence. Today especially, she stayed calm and engaged for the full two hours of the visit without ever going to that fussy/tired place. It was a real joy.
Lastly, Aitugan would like to wish her Uncle Jamie a Happy 38th Birthday. Take Care.

Happy Turkey Day from western Maine. We've got snow on the ground and temps will be dropping into the single digits Friday night. Sofia had her first birthday on Tuesday. Your little girl will be one before you can blink! I didn't realize how quickly it would pass, all those firsts. This is such a great way to keep a record. We are so happy for you, the pictures capture some of the joy and excitement that you are feeling as you spend time with your little one. But I imagine that in person it is even more.....wonderful!
Liz, Andy and Sofia
