two more firsts

Last night E and I went to dinner with some of my work colleagues. It was the first time she sat in a high chair. She did fine, just a little wobbly. She flirted with a friendly white-haired woman at a nearby table, and when the woman waved at her Emma waved back. She spread her fingers and twisted her wrist side to side. I'd seen her barely twitch her wrist once before, a couple weeks ago when someone waved at her, but it wasn't enough to be sure she knew what she was doing. So I counted this as her first wave. She was also really trying hard to get the woman's attention later - making louder noises, and focusing her widest smile toward the woman, as if she was beaming a signal that could make the woman look up!
