First waves and "step"

On Sunday (Dec 2nd), Sienna and I went to Scott and Jackie's house to watch football (and leave Forest alone so he could study) with Jenn and Jeff (and all of the kids). On our way house, Sienna started waving goodbye to everyone! It was very exciting. She now (3 days later) will do it about 50% of the time. You have to "get her arm going" by shaking it up and down. :)

Last night (Dec 4th) I was helping Sienna practice standing alone. I got the idea to move away from her and try to coax her to come over to me. On two separate occasions, she lifted one foot and set it down a little farther away from her. Both times, she seemed a little surprised and unsure of what to do next....so she just sat down. Since she didn't even shift her weight onto the leg that just moved....I don't exactly call that her "first step" - but it's getting close!

I'm headed to Montreal (my first trip...and they just had a snow storm!!). I'll be there tonight (Wed) through Saturday evening. I am going to do a little consulting for CogState - training and study start. I've always wanted to see Montreal - but not in the winter.
