Alli is a very inquisitive little girl. She also seems to push herself (go Alli!) But who am I to say, I'm only her mother and in my eyes she's doing miracles!
But this weekend was fun to watch all the things that she somehow picked up. While in Tucson visiting friends, Alli decided to tackle the stairs. Now going up stairs is something that Alli has been doing for about 2 weeks now and so that was her entertainment. The thing that impressed me was the fact that she wasn't satisfied with just climbing the stairs - she did it 8 or 9 times! She went to the point where she could barely pull herself up to the stair. Hilarious! (You would think that would mean she would take a great nap, but no...)
Her latest favorite toy is a martini shaker. Yes, not exactly the thing you would think of getting your 1 year old. Of course we didn't!!! It was in a cabinet that she really wasn't supposed to go in, but now it's quite a puzzle and I don't want to take it from her because she really is figuring out how all the pieces go together. She was able to put the cap back on (which I was very proud of). She usually puts the cap in the tumbler and shakes it like a rattle. All sorts of fun things to do with all the different shaker pieces and we have multiple shakers, so even better!
On her exersaucer toy, there is a dolphin that you can pull and it makes another part spin in circles. (This is hard to explain in text.) The dolphin is a little hard to pull, and to make it more difficult, you actually move it side-to-side. Yesterday Alli was making it work like she knew how to do it all along. I was so impressed!
So Alli is just expanding her horizons all over the place and we are scared for the day that she walks, because we'll NEVER be able to keep up with her!!
