Trouble is Brewing

After watching Olivia for the last 4 months, Alex has finally joined the ranks of fellow walkers! He took a few steps on his own about a month ago but the steps were really hit and miss. He didn't do it daily and we were lucky if he took a handful in a week.

Last night he took a ton of steps and since then he has not stopped trying to walk! He is so excited to do it and he is so proud of himself every time he does it!



Now that he is taking steps, he wants to do it all the time! You can tell that he really doesn't want to crawl anywhere any more, but he can't stand up with out holding on to something. So when he is not near anything to help pull himself up, he gets up on his knees and tries to walk on his knees instead of crawling. It is so cute!

His walking is much different from when Olivia started walking. Olivia would only walk straight, Alex knows how to turn. Olivia didn't realize her knees could bend, and Alex bends his knees. I think he will be running in no time! We are in trouble!
