Almost one!

In a little more than 2 weeks Malaika turns one!  This year has really flown by.  Malaika's slowly learning how to walk, and can stand by herself for a few seconds as long as she doesn't think about it.  She certainly knows how to complain (loudly) when her bro isn't quite behaving in a gentlemanly fashion, but other than that generally seems to be the quiet, contemplative sort.  When both are in a good mood, they play together pretty well.  A good 8 hour stretch at night still eludes her, but for that matter it still eludes her brother too.  One of these days Susan and I hope to partake of the mythical 8 hour stretch as well.
