Maggie has decided it's time to quit crawling and start walking -- Heather said Maggie would do it when she had mastered it to her personal standards (and when she was good and ready). And that's the way it happened. She's been walking for a week now and rarely crawls.
The photo above was taken a week ago, when she was visiting us. She definitely loves her G'pa and when she sees him she puts out one arm in his direction and utters her little high-pitched staccato "hum!" -- which we translate as: "get over here and pick me up." She uses that particular form of communication often to tell anyone within earshot numerous unrelated requests. For instance, she is holding a little toy duck in this photo that makes a loud "quack-quack-quack" noise (3 sets of 3 quacks!) when you hit it on a hard surface. She loves it; and as soon as it quits quacking (or even on the second set of quacks), she holds it out to you, gives you her "hum!" and wants you to do it again for her. This can go on for quite some time until she gets distracted and moves on to another toy; or YOU distract her because you can't stand to hear it one more time.
