Drinking through a straw
Jessaleigh figured out drinking through a straw in one try. As in, Jesse says, "when do kids figure out to drink with a straw?" and I decide to get started down that road. Put it in her mouth and boom, water up the straw right then and there. Haven't been able to get the cup away from her since!

Definitely a girl...
We got a good deal on some Robeez, and they were delivered tonight (go UPS, down with FedEx), and Jessaleigh proved that she is definitely all girl.
She was holding one of the shoes, and I was holding the other, and with a gleam of desire not to be denied in her eyes, she took three steps toward me and grabbed the other shoe. Up to this point the most that we have seen her take is one (being generous here) step at a time, usually followed by an abrupt seating maneuver.
Yes, that's right, our daughter's first steps were for shoes! This bodes ill for my checkbook :)

From that day on they called her "Me Too"
Jessaleigh always wants to be like her big brother. For months now we have gotten looks and protests when she didn't receive the same thing he did (mostly about food).
Recently (because I hardly ever remember to actually sign to her) Jessaleigh has developed some personalized signs. She will reach at something while opening and closing her hand and sometimes whine for it. She is actually very good at getting her point across.
Tonight while we were having pizza for dinner, Scott reached for the second to last piece of pizza for Chanler. Immediately Jessaleigh reaches for the remaining piece demanding that she get it. (She was greatly dismayed when she didn't get it - because she isn't eating tomatoes yet - and Daddy ate it instead)

Biped
Within a week of her first steps Jessaleigh has decided that two footed mobility is better than crawling. Mostly because you can carry more stuff while walking...
She is still a bit prone to abruptly change elevation, but is determined to stand erect most of the time...
Still trying to catch her walking on video, but that would require that I have my camera with me at all times - which just isn't a reality.
