Diem has been showing us what she wants, by opening and closing her fists and saying, "Eh!?" toward what she desires. She is overjoyed when we respond by giving it to her.
She is slowly starting to walk more than crawl. It's so funny when she transitions to crawling, from walking, she does a bear crawl (crawling on her hands and feet!) She always smiles and laughs while walking. Even if it is a fake "panting" laugh.
Diem's favorite thing to do right now, is to empty out things (such as baskets and drawers.) She could empty an endless basket all day long. She has begun throwing, rather than just dropping things. She also loves pushing people over, when they're on the floor. Lately, Brennan has been saying, "Diem, get me!" Diem loves pushing him over and Brennan loves interacting with her. At breakfast and lunch time, Brennan sits at the breakfast bar and Diem sits in her highchair right next to him. They giggle at each other the entire time. Brennan says, "Diem, hand!" and Diem reaches her hand out to him. Then, they hold hands, until Brennan gets a little too rough by yanking on her arm. Then they do it all over again!
