Today we celebrated our anniversary.  We dropped off Tatiana at Judith's house.  It was so hard to leave!  She was happy in Judith's arms, and I kept coming back to kiss her.  When we first got there Judith had to leave for two minutes.  Kat helped to unload the car, and Tatiana stayed holding on to me.  She kept looking at Kat.  Then Judith walked in the back door, and Tatiana toddled off to greet her.  It made me feel OK about leaving her.  Judith called and asked if she could keep Tatiana since she was such an angel.  She napped, and started to explore again.

Last night, Tatiana and I did what I call Hide-and-Peek.  I started out doing Hide and Seek, where I called to her to help her find me.  But, she didn't know quite what to do when she found me.  So, I'd hide around the fireplace, and then when she saw me I'd say "You found me!"  then I'd hide again.  Several times she laughed so hard she fell on her butt.

A few days ago she was playing in the entry way.  It gives her some freedom.  I looked up and her feet were several feet off the floor.  She was sitting in the stroller!  She'd climbed in all on her own!  It was dark out (and therefore cooler) so I took the hint and we went for a walk.  She pushed the stroller a little, rode a little and walked on her own a little.  She thinks grass is pretty neat.
