Forgot one thing

I forgot to mention one thing on my list of Ilse's new developments.  Ilse has been helping to dress herself.  She will help put her clothes over her head, and then she will actively try to put her arms through the sleeves.  She's very good at getting her left arm through, and she's working on finding the sleep hole for her right arm.  Also, she has been sitting up so very very well.  I can plop her down and she can keep her own balance 100%.  Of course, I would not put her on a high surface (chair) yet.  Also, she will help me sit her up when we are done getting dressed.  She recognizes what we are doing and she smiles through the whole process.
