She's turning into a real person!

Things that Sterling does now that are like a real person:

• She started pointing at things. Today. It's so weird that one day she doesn't do something and the next day, she does.
• She signs "milk" and "potty" and occasionally actually does want what she's signing. 
• She just learned the "bathtime" sign and uses it when she's in the bathtub. Yesterday, she was sitting on the potty and looked at the tub and signed "bathtime".
• She can stand on her own. Not for long, and not very often, but she can do it.
• She can walk down the hall if you hold her hands.
• She gained over a pound in 10 days. Can we say "growth spurt"?
• Mike says she pointed at the dog and said "woo, woo, woo" today.
• She can open and shut the dishwasher, and occasionally does so on command.
• When she was in the bath tub tonight, Mike told her "give the shark to Mama" and she did.
• She helps unload the washer and hands individual diapers to me to put in the dryer.
• She loves to open and shut doors.
• She can drink through a straw.
• She puts things into other things. And takes them out. And puts them in. And takes them out.
