Easter and the rest of April

Not much new to report since last week. Meredith is walking with assistance very well and also can stand alone very well - up to 10 seconds or so without holding on to anything, and even then she doesn't fall - she just sits down. She has also taken some steps where she thought she was holding on to something for balance but I saw her and saw that she was actually taking a step or two on her own - so it seems she has the coordination for it but maybe doesn't know it yet...but we'll see what happens. Here are pictures from Easter and on through the rest of April until yesterday.

Here she is on Easter morning. The Easter Bunny is fun!

She is a happy girl who laughs a lot!

We think some more teeth are coming in, as you can see she is chewing on everything

Here is our family at a local festival in Speyer, near our village

Eating banana didn't go so well, and she wasn't happy about it...

Eating pasta went a little better!

Now that she can get around the room well, she likes to get into the kleenex box!

This is her walking toy. It has helped her a lot, with figuring out that she could take steps - now she pushes it all over the room

And finally, a great shot of the teeth! The top middle ones came in first, as you can see compared with the bottom ones that are barely out

She is usually pretty happy, especially now that the weather is getting nicer and she doesn't have to wear so many layers! We are really having beautiful weather here now.

Eating a mini pretzel - but it looks huge when she has it!

She is such a sweet girl!

She really knows how to turn it on for the camera...I brought the camera out and she immediately flashed me her cheesy grin!

I hope you enjoy the pictures and stay tuned for more updates!
