The Egg's latest is climbing the stairs. She loves it! We stand behind her just in case, but she motors up the whole flight in about 2 minutes.

Her other recent favorite is helping Danny unload the dishwasher. She pulls herself up to the open dishwasher door and hands him silverware one by one. Then she leans into the door to prop herself up and grabs dinner plates with both hands. You should see her little face --all twisted up as she struggles to lift up the heavy plates.

And today Danny said she crawled into her bedroom and closed the door. He peeked in there and found her sitting quietly reading her nursery rhyme book.
