Doin' the 'Stein

Every child develops in his/her own unique way. Adara's approach to walking is quite distinct from Aenaon's. He was someone who started off, literally, running. And once he started to walk, he never went back to crawling (until Adara started crawling, that is). And Adara, as with everything else she's done, started off gradually. Now she's walking quite a bit, but rather than being the "drunken sailor" Aenaon was (stumbling from one side to the other), she does the Frankenstein, and holds both of her arms out in front of her and, well, walks like Frankenstein. I tried to capture this on the computer camera, which is no small feat. Here's the best shot I could get (just to give you an image).
Other things she's been into lately:

kitty litter (that includes trying to eat it)
more kissing
eating more junk food and less nutritious food
climbing out of her crib (which must be more like falling out- I don't imagine she hangs off the side on her way down)
playing with kitty
hanging out with any new person she can
vehemently shaking her head 'no'
drinking from a big kid's cup, unassisted

new words (or distinctive attempts):
diaper
cat
pooh
uh-oh
hi
bye
balloon
ball
