Maria seems to be getting more aware of people coming and going. I mentioned the wave, and she’s sort of waved before. It occured to me that the reason she is inconsistent is that WE are inconsistent. We should start waving hi and bye more often to her.
Another example was at music therapy. The therapist always finishes with the goodbye song, and this time Maria got VERY cranky when she sang it. Then as we walked her to the door, Maria refused to look at her. I’ve seen her do that with other people who are leaving.
She is suddenly show a lot of interest in walking. I can’t get her to understand that she needs to learn to stand before she can walk 
She tries to walk if we hold her up, but gets confused. She’ll put one foot forward and stop. Then she’ll try and put the same foot forward again or lift both feet. It’s hard to guide her since we’d need about four hands.
One thing she was doing Thursday is climbing me. I’d hold her hands and she’d climb up my stomach and chest like a stairway.
