I think these two photos, taken about a week apart, speak for themselves.
In other Emelia news, this past weekend the weather was great and she walked with us to the nearest park/playground, ~2.5 blocks away -- we carried her when we crossed the streets, but otherwise she did all the walking herself. At one point she lost focus (something shiny on the ground perhaps), and I was ahead of her, gesturing and calling to her to come on, facing her and walking backwards as I did it. Damned if she didn't turn around and start walking backwards herself without so much as stumbling. This kid has fun (and hanging out with her, so do we)!
