walking! teething!

Since the last entry we've gone to and returned from Jordan. June 12 T took a tiny unassisted step. June 16 she did another one. June 19 I noticed a top tooth (next to the front) began to burst thru the gum. Today it felt out more. June 23 she took several steps. Around our anniversary, June 29, she was walking pretty nicely. It was fun to watch her go from pushing a chair across the patio or pushing her grandma's walker to holding on to some things and take a step by herself. Now she can stand up from the ground and take off walking. I'd say within 2 weeks she went from pushing to walking on her own. Additionally, in early June she began to do the sign for "leche" so now when she wants milk I make her do it instead of crying. Of course, she still cries and hits my chest but I show her the sign to try & get her to understand that all she has to do is sign it and not cry. Here's one of the videos I took, of her pushing the chair and then taking a few steps.
Oh, yeah... the plane ride: on the way there, from Atlanta to London she slept a good deal of the 8 hours which was quite a blessing. Then from London to Amman, she slept about half of the 5 hours. The way back wasn't as nice. She was up more but from London to Atlanta she took about 3 wonderful naps. She hated to ride in the car any time we got in it in Jordan (no car seat) and then when we got picked up in Atlanta she wasn't too pleased to be in a car seat. She's NOT the rider that brother B was when he was an infant. Senorita cries a lot while riding whereas B was content!
