If you're feeling down

This video is good for a chuckle.

Another month older

Maria is now (well tomorrow) 11 months old. She has not started walking yet, but is starting to give it some serious thought. She took two unassisted steps last Wednesday, followed by a triumphant 3 steps this morning. She is still a little too cautious though and is not quite ready to give up the sturdy furniture. Our dining room chairs make a number of trips around the kitchen on a daily basis though.

There is not much else that is new at this time. I return to work in a month, a somewhat scary thought. However, I am confident that this is the right decision and I am sure that after a few weeks we will settle into a schedule that works for us.
