Meg is going through a spurt of new-baby developments. She's begun to pull up and stand semi-unassisted, which is somewhat amazing considering that she doesn't really crawl yet. We're going to have to switch out our coffee table, as it tends to topple with a baby pulling on it.
This whole "pulling up to stand" thing sometimes confuses her, though. Last weekend, she tried to pull up on the coffee table (we'd stabilized it so it wouldn't topple) and we watched her lift her chin up over the edge of the table with great effort. We noticed shortly thereafter that her feet were not on the floor and she had, in fact, just done a chin-up.
Meg's vocabulary is increasing, as well. We've added "kitty" and "doggie" to the repertoire, as well as some sounds that may or may not be "Max" and "Esther" (two of her friends.)
My new job is going well. Its keeping me busy, but the people are great and I think it will ultimately be extremely rewarding. There is something about this "new job" feeling that is exciting; my position is somewhat unusual for the company so there is ample room for me to "write my own job description," as they say.
