Milestones
My baby is one year old. She does not want to crawl or walk yet. She does not like to cry or fuss about anything. What she likes to do is smile, wave regally, and blow raspberries. She wants to splash in the bath, and sing like a fighting cat in the quietest places. She likes to stretch up her hands for a cuddle. She makes a rainbow mess with food. She turns the upside-down pages of books and chews on them.
I know she will take their arbitrary milestones, rearrange them and build them into what really matters.
