Toddlin' Along

Having recovered from her asthma attack, Fiona's walking has really taken off. She now walks pretty much everywhere she wants to go and has mastered the hallway between her room and the living room. She's particularly interested in the art of carrying things through the hall. At first it was her juice cup (the essentials always come first). Now she likes raiding her sock drawer and marching around waving her socks, or finding a book that she likes and carrying it around.

For some reason, she's recently become very fond of a knit cap that is several sizes too small for her (and that she used to hate when she was 3 or 4 months old and the right size for it). She brings the cap to me and asks me to put it on her. She also has found a small shopping bag that she likes to carry around. The sight of Fiona wearing an ill-fitting old knit cap, carrying her bag, wandering around with no apparent sense of direction and shouting out incoherent babble leads to one inescapable conclusion: we're raising a bag lady.
