walking and talking

alix is now a part timer walker. she can't get up to standing from a sitting position, but is she's standing up holding onto something, she can and will walk a few steps to someplace she wants to be.

rory is focused on two things right now: she wants a rolling suitcase that does not sparkle and a razor scooter. now, grandparents, please do not rush out and buy these. we've promised her that when we go to CA in november for joanna and ken's wedding, she will have the suitcase. and we'll see about the scooter at some point. but the main point is that she reminds us daily, sometimes more often, that she wants these things. the focus and memory on that girl is sometimes scary.
